Starting today GMail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google Talk are already graduated the Beta stage and hey are all now full-fledged members of the Google family of products. According to the product management director for Google Enterprise that the removal of the beta status means that those products have all reached unspecified internal metrics in terms of reliability and usability. Among these recently graduated Google Apps, GMail is the oldest which was launched 5 years ago.


But if you'll miss the Beta label, you can alway go back because Google launches the GMail "Back to Beta" Lab feature.



Here's a qoute from GMail blog.

How will you ever get used to using Gmail without that familiar grey "BETA" text greeting you when you log in everyday? What example will you cite the next time you make an internet joke about perpetual betas? Don't despair... for those of you long-time Gmail-ers who might feel some separation anxiety, we've got a solution. Just go to Settings, click on Labs, turn on "Back to Beta," and it'll be like Gmail never left beta at all.
