Well, at the risk of engaging the "anandtech effect", I will suggest that you can check out #gmail or #gmail-invite on efnet. Someone there gave me an invite earlier this morning. Just a quick clue for everyone though, DON'T JUST JUMP ON THE CHANNEL AND START BEGGING FOR AN INVITE. If you do so you will get nowhere. I know some of you, like me, have been hoping to get one of these for awhile now so use a little self-restraint if you try those channels (sry, had to rant just a little after seeing some people on those channels whine and whine about the invites). Anywho, just a heads-up for those of you who want it.
