If you go read the gmail test drive at the link mentioned up here, then you get to a page full of adds powered by, guess who?, google.
I could not see a disclaimer, but take the review with a grain of salt.
My disclaimer: I'm a gmail user, and was not able to get the username I wanted (it seems that 'first name'@gmail.com is not allowed, based on some pretty good list they have). And I enjoy gmail, even though: there are very few ads for now; and there is no sorting feature (alphabetical, chronological, whatever): it is sorted by conversation, and my mind does not work this way all the time.
