On Tuesday,Google removed the "Beta" tag of four of its Web properties including Gmail,which was in Beta version for over 5 yrs.Gmail, Google Calendar,Google Docs and Google Talk are all now official products as said by the director of product management Google Matt Glotzbach.
A few years back when someone asked the inventors of Google that why does every product of google in Beta form. A reply came that "We Believe in Constant Development".
When Glotzbach was asked on why google made such a step he referred to "inconsistencies" across the various product teams in terms of determining milestones.
