We're removing it. Our apps are fully supported and we'll keep improving them. Sorry for the confusion." Instead they try to be cute and end up making absolutely no sense. -systemsboy Eric,

For any "BETA" product, the reliability of product is not guaranteed, it may crash or even dont work at all and you cant blaim coz hey...I got a BETA label tagged to me. "We’re moving to a world of rapid developmental cycles where products like Gmail continue to change indefinitely.” .. Whats nobel with them here... Whole world is having the agile fever so what makes gmail different? And if they really want to stick to what they say....what made them to get OUT of BETA now?? Would it mean that they wont make any changes/ enhancements to GMAIL nowonwards!!! Well….they now need take the onus of some serious ownership.
