Gmail's What New page is listing two new features:

• sending photos from Picasa via your Gmail account (which Picasa does directly, without firing up your browser)
• a basic HTML mode, to extend support to previously unsupported browsers

The first of these is not so much new, as simply newly documented. The second is a very interesting development - not only is Gmail pushing the boundaries of what we expect from a web based application, but its also making sure that older browsers are not left out. As they point out, you never know what support you are going to find when travelling - all part of their mission to make information available everywhere you happen to be.
