Google is poised to give to your Gmail inbox a cure of youth.
A YouTube video leaked on the Web (subsequently deleted but since republished) shows the new interface of the giant of the Internet e-mail service. Jason Cornwell, a designer of experience for Gmail user, walks viewers through the big upcoming changes.
A Google representative confirmed the authenticity of the video, but declined to provide other details.
"Oops, you were not supposed to see that," Google representative Andrea Freund told CNET. "Stay tuned, we will be sharing more info on the new look of Gmail soon."
The new look is designed to be cleaner, simpler and more intuitive, he said. One of the biggest changes is that the Gmail window will adapt automatically to whatever size the user chooses.
