wow factor

It may be Machine, OS, Labs, Browser, Location or Code specific, however I'm reverting to UI=1, the Older version, for basic email functions.

I've had too much of this

using UI=2

I love the wizzbangery of UI=2, especially Tasks, however the overload is just too much when trying basics like clearing the Bin or Spam

The snappiness of UI=1 Beta is a dream compared to UI=2 Beta.

Update: Just released - Google Apps Status Dashboard

Tasks: Love it's seamless integration with my iPhone. No iTunes required.

Multiple Inboxes: Smart. Everything on the same page.

Gmail Themes: New Blue is my pick. Easy on the eyes.

Google Books: 1.5 million books in your pocket.

Om Malik may fret over the lack of a new big money making idea from Google.
I simply appreciate these incremental improvements.
