Gmail for Domains with Account Plans

If you haven't heard about Gmail for Domains, its okay. Most people don't know what it is yet or heard about it because its only accessible via invitation-only. In short, Gmail for Domains will allow domain admins to move their existing or new email service to utilize Gmail with an easy-to-use control panel, Gtalk chat service, and a whoping 2 GB (and counting...) massive storage with all the benefits and features of Gmail.

I've come across RyderRoss.com which happens to have a recent screenshot of Gmail for Domains for one of his websites (breenrealty.com). Apparently he received an invitation email and has taken a quick snapshot of the interface. Google is in development phase to introduce Gmail for Domains with optional account plans to choose from.

From the looks of RyderRoss' screenshot, Gmail for Domains will allow up to 10 free user as many emails you asked for during your registration per domain on a basic account plan. Of course, while clicking on the link "Account Plan" will probably introduce more featured plans to choose from with a purchase. Also below the Account Plan link is "Account Status" which reads as followed:
Account Status
Users can sign in and read email, but cannot yet send email.

Your account status will automatically switch to active when we process your payment and you change your MX records
While it is yet unknown how or when Google will launch this new Gmail feature, much information exist out in the Gmail community.

On a personal note, I'm glad to see that Gmail will allow users to switch MX records and use Gmail email service. With Google's much recent update to allow payments across its Google Base network, it is safe to guess that Google will also expand their payment process to Gmail for Domain too.

Update:
I've stumbled upon a more indepth review of Gmail for Domains with many screenshots. Here's a quick shortcut, if you think your registration for Gmail for Domains has been verified without haven't gotten your email verification notice yet, why not try out the link below, replacing n=domain.com with your actual domain registered.
