Today, Google revealed a project two years in the making. At first glance it looks just like a redesign of Gmail, and that's sort of half true. It's actually a completely new system called "Inbox" and it wants to reimagine your email.
The New York Times describes its major differences from traditional email in a couple ways. First, Inbox wants to make your email much more glanceable. As the image above shows, if a friend sends you a picture or you get flight info for an upcoming trip, all that is instead displayed within your email feed so you can look without a click.
The app also displays up-to-date information much like a Google Now card embedded in your email in the attempt to help you keep track of the important stuff among the detritus and random digital ephemera in your inbox.
You can sign up for this service by emailing inbox@google.com. [The New York Times]
