Gmail going to be Faster!

I personally feel the Gmail is one of the fastest web mail services around. But one thing that made me happier was the announcement at the Analyst Day event. Google announced that the new version of Gmail that is set to launch soon will be faster than ever.

Some of the new features announced were:

• Message Prefetching: The future Gmail will have a completely new JavaScript architecture. Gmail will fetch messages in advance so that when you need them they will be visible instantly in a single click.
• New Contact Manager: Something that I have been waiting for. I feel that the present contact manger is a little clumsy.
• Integrating Features: Some of the products currently integrated are Google Calendar, Google Docs. They show messages like “Add this event to Calendar” and “Open as a Google Document” simultaneously. Seems like more products are going to be integrated.
