Hooray! Gmail is now open for public sign-up to internet users here in the Philippines. I just found out about this a while as I was about to check my original Gmail account. I noticed a new layout in the home page and suspicions that something new is in offer and indeed it is a good offer. Gmail for everyone! 
Though I still have lots of Gmail invites, it’s much better now that people could sign-up for their very own GMail account instead of waiting for others. How can I prove this?
Here’s a screencap that it says it all. 
Now that Gmail is open for public sign-ups, I wonder how the other e-mail service providers would react?
Over 2GB (and still growing) of storage, a cool and powerful search function, labeling and chatting all for free!

I guess they could cut the counters off the invitation box on the sidebar now as it makes no sense anymore. I still have 97 invites left on my second GMail account (I haven’t checked my first one recently) though I have been using GMail For Your Domain since I was accepted as a beta tester.

Gmail was released in the year 2003 right?

Yeah! It’s a good thing that they have already opened it for sign-up. Some people used to take advantage of its beta status that they sell invitations on eBay.

They sold Gmail invites in eBay back then?! Wow, never knew about that. I got my first Gmail invite when I accidentally clicked on an ad in Google search result.
Hope everyone else gets their Gmail.
