It is web based.  Notably, you get 1 gig of space..  they only offer
it via invites.  Every couple of weeks they give you some invites to
use.
Some addtional info is at gmail.google.com.  
The only annoyance (that I can think of right now), is they display
links on the right, kind of like how they display links on their
search page.  I don't even notice them at all, so it's not that big of
a deal to me..

still have 6 invites
