30 Gigs web-based email

30gigs.com-images-logo.jpg

30Gigs.com is invite-only web-based email that offers, you guessed it, 30 gigabytes of space.

30 Gigs is in beta and I haven’t scored an invite, so I can’t say much about how well it works, but from the looks of things, it’s positioning itself to compete with Gmail (ie, superior message search and ginormous storage limit.) Anyone out there have an invite or some insight into the app? Let me know in the comments.
