As widely reported<\/a> by just<\/a> about everyone<\/a>, Google has increased the amount of storage you get with Gmail — or rather, it has increased the rate<\/em> at which the amount of storage is increasing<\/a>. The amount of storage you can buy if you want to upgrade has also increased. Although he hasn’t posted on it yet (shame on you, Paul) I expect my friend Paul Kedrosky will be celebrating the news, seeing as how he has been asking for this<\/a> for some time now.<\/p>\n

It’s great that by January or so, we can expect to have 6 gigabytes of storage, according to some predictions<\/a>. But still — and I don’t mean to sound ungrateful — why so little? After all, Microsoft’s new Windows Live Mail gives you 10 gigabytes, apparently, as more than one irritated Microsoft defender noted after Mashable<\/a> and TechCrunch<\/a> (which gave me a 500 internal server error earlier this morning) compared Gmail to Windows Live SkyDrive, which I’ll admit is kind of an apples-to-oranges comparison.<\/p>\n

But seriously, where is the Gdrive we’ve heard<\/a> so much about? As Nick Carr notes in this post<\/a>, storage using services like Amazon’s S3 has effectively become too cheap to meter. Does that mean Amazon is better than you are, Google? Well does it?<\/p>\n
