za3tar -
Your researcher is kicking himself in the shin right now! Yeah it’s more than just an email client, though it’s cool to have things bundled now.

You’re more in the know how! It looks pretty nifty though. I didn’t mention it’s a competitor to TB, it’s simply taking things to a next level. Plus people hardly shift between two clients, let alone shift to a client that does more than you probably would want it to do! I will leave the less spam to as your job

Nothing “amazing” here or “new” other than drag and drop into the browser. A neat trick that will catch up I am sure
This is the way Google is trying to “fix” what is wrong with Talk, since it really sucks
This is not really a competitor with thunderbird. They do two distinct things
Anyway… There is hardly anything in “Email” that would impress me other than … well, maybe, less spam

This indeed sounds interesting. However I wouldn’t describe it as an “email service” or an “email client” … I think of it as a general live collaboration tool as you illustrated .. with email being just one aspect of it.

By the way, what is ironic is that a researcher in my university has came up with a similar technology that works everywhere, not just the web, and without the need for a acentralized service like Google … yet he was unable to market it because people thought it would not be useful … Ahh i can only imagine the look on his face now.
