Google is taking beta subscription requests for hosted Gmail accounts using your company or organization’s domain name. Just login with your existing Google account or create a new one.
What you get:
Gmail - 2 gigabytes of storage and search tools that help users find information fast.
Control Panel - Easily manage user accounts, aliases and mailing lists.
Very interesting. This should increase the number of Gmail users by a significant sum. More user data bonanza maybe?

That sounds cool. But do I have to give up my desktop app? Would it act like IMAP mail or POP ?? Details seem sketchy to me.
Gmail Targets Business and Campus Use
Google is testing a couple of new implementations in hopes of spreading their email product Gmail. It was reported on Google’s blog that Gmail is being beta tested on the campus of San Jos?
Those are good questions Thomas.
Knowing a little about Google, I would suspect it would replace any other email client. But they do not specify that. I have signed up for a beta. We’ll see if they approve and I can provide screen shots, etc.

In your post, you comment “This should increase the number of Gmail users by a significant sum.”
Two questions - any idea:
1) how many Gmail users are there in the US?
2) revenue Google receives from Gmail users who click on Sponsored Links associated with Gmail
