Gmail gearing up for full launch?

I've just checked my Gmail account, and it's true. I have 50 invitations sitting there.

I've been very pleased with Gmail and the price is right. The fact that it is now both POP and Web based makes it a real valuable tool. Needless to say, my Gmail account hasn't been my usual free, anti-spam, throwaway account. The 1000 MB of storage has made it very handy when friends want to transfer a large file to me (and they can't figure out how to use FTP -- which is most of my friends).
