2GB and rich formatting in Gmail

Wow. Hadn't noticed before, but it seems Gmail has increased available space to 2GB (putting it on par with Yahoo! Mail Plus, $19.99). So far I only seem to have 115MB more:

You are currently using 196 MB (18%) of your 1115 MB.

Also new, rich text formatting, similar to what is done in Blogger.

With prefetch, it seems Google is incrementally improving its services, even though recent controversies seem to have eroded its geek-fan-base. We'll see how things go, maybe Don't be evil will stay that way, if not all the time, at least most of the time.
