Gmail, has worn the beta tag for five years. The number of people who use Gmail has grown an astonishing 48 percent in the last year.

Google’s engineers merely looked over the products and were satisfied that our efforts on reaching our high bar for taking our products out of beta, and all the applications in the Apps suite have now met that mark.

By removing the beta tag from its products, Google is announcing, in its own unique way, that it’s ready to get serious about this market.
