"People from Digg report that Gmail doesn't require invitations and that you can get an account by simply going to this page. It doesn't work for me, and it seems that it doesn't work in Europe."

Neither does it working in the States.

im pretty sure its a mishap..
but whom knows, maybe Gmail will be out of beta on 2007.. :)

I read somewhere in the last few hours that is is now open for Egypt.

Looks like BSkyB will be using Gmail too. This will make it widely available in the UK. (If it isn't already!)
