We just heard this form Slashdot that Google is working to introduce HTML 5 to Gmail. This would not only make the page loading faster but will also impart a cool new look with awesome features to Gmail. Just recently Google introduced HTML5ROCKS, a website to demonstrate HTML 5 stuff along with a coding playground and a handful of tutorials. According to the Slashdot:
“In keeping with Google’s enthusiasm for the emerging HTML5 standard, many upcoming features of the company’s Gmail Web-based e-mail service will be rendered in HTML5. One feature that the Gmail design team is now working on is the ability to drag files from the desktop into the browser. Gmail will also make use of HTML5′s database standards. Currently the e-mail service uses Google Gears to store mail for offline reading, but over time that will migrate to the HTML5 standards.”
