(a) Lot of hype :)
(b) Nifty Javascript/Dhtml mailing application
(c) Loads all emails in one shot, so you can access them instantly
(d) Continuously checks for other emails in background.

Drawbacks:
(a) If you have a lot of emails in your inbox, it will take longer to load as it
loads all the mail from the server in one go. As the number of emails in inbox
increases, it will take progressively longer to load. Not a problem for people
with fast connections, though.
(b) You can't create folders (At least I saw no way of doing so).
(c) Dosen't seem to work on Internet Explorer (At least I was having problems
with it).
