There is now a new Firefox extension called Gspace which allows you to use your Gmail effectively as an online file storage system in addition to its incredible email service. Because it’s a Firefox extension, all you need to already have is a Gmail account, Firefox and the new extension, you won’t need any extra software or application to manage files when uploading or downloading your documents.
Gspace is really simple to use and like most Firefox extensions, takes no more than two steps to install…
Zicplay Microkey mp3 players have been said to be the tiniest 1 Gb mp3 players produced yet. 
What is so special about it is that they are smaller than iPod Shuffles, do not require the use of iTunes and yet will also be available in a variety of shiny, attractive colours. Actually, the main feature is yet to come, Zicplay’s Microkey players do not have screens but have heat sensitive interface casings, which means you simply press its play indicator to well…play! Also its got built-in an equivalent amount of music storage capacity as the iPod Shuffle plus a Li rechargeable battery that can last up to 6 hours of music play time. Interestingly a relatively new piece of technology has been applied to this new mini-player,a cable that actually turns on the mp3 player when they are plugged inand hung around the neck giving the whole concept a ‘jewel’s design’ and a cool-elegant feeling for the person using it.
It’s been mentioned at Mashable, that it looks like Gmail’s storage will soon look to be evolving into a major competitor for sites that are currently offering free / cheap online file and multimedia storage. I mean, why shouldn’t it? With at least 2.8 GBs of free space in everyone’s mailbox just to store attachments and 1.0 GB for photos and pics, its no wonder why users like viksoe.dk have created tiny tweaks to make Gmail’s storage more accessible, as if it was a “real” online file storage system.
With Google’s new storage system being brought together, space from Gmail and Picasa can be further maximised, users who desire a more premium service can go for a checkout to purchase more space. Get addition 6 GB for $20.00 per year, 25 GB for $75.00 per year, etc…
With all this space available via Google’s services (even before a paid upgrade), might one of the first services to possibly increase their free storage space be Microsoft’s Skydrive (Beta)?
