The offering is for 100 meg of space, forever.  They want to hold 
your e-mail forever so you don't have to worry about storage and 
backing it up and all that.

Also, one really nice feature is that it will put your e-mail into 
folders based on the topic.

There is a yahoo group  
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Gmail_invites/
to spread the offerings.

I had 5 invites, used some, then they put me back up to 5.  they want 
to expand slowly so as to not overload their systems.

Yahoo e-mail jumped up to 100 meg about the time G-Mail started 
getting more press.
