Gmail is finally adding IMAP support. Something I’m almost certain they’ve had sitting in the wings for more than a year now, but with the release of Gphone looming, my guess this begins the beta of IMAP support while will eventually be the Gphone’s main mode of operation.
downloadSquad is reporting that a whole slew of IMAP docs for Gmail went up today, and some folks with Google Apps for domains are seeing the setting in addition to some folks that log out, then log back in. So try it now and see if you have it!

Google Exec Raised By Wolves, Kidnapped By Gypsies
by Richard Martin, ValleyWag was reporting earlier today that Marissa Mayer, Google “eccentric queen of search,” could be “skipping out” on the Web 2.0 Summit today in San Francisco. T’aint so, says Google PR.

Everything Google touches turns to gold, but will the Gphone tickle Australia’s fancy?
The on-again, off-again rumour is that the boffins at Google have been working on a secret mobile phone project for several years. The aim, of course, is to put advertising on the smallest screen - which one assumes would subsidise the cost of the phone. It would also naturally play nicely with Google’s growing stable of location-based services, such as Google Maps.
