I seem to still be able to send & receive mail via my sync on iPhone, and it seems Outlook Sync for Biz Apps is running fine. gmail.com only?

Is this affecting Chrome as well? Looks like it might be a bigger problem. It just crashed for three guys in our office within a few seconds of each other. Edit: Nobody was using Gmail at any point.

I can confirm Chrome crashed around the time of Gmail going down too.

It crashed for me too.

I love google products (and I'm not worried about my email for a second), but their explanation is really bad:

"The problem with Google Mail should be resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and continued support. Please rest assured that system reliability is a top priority at Google, and we are making continuous improvements to make our systems better."

It sounds like something an airline might say after bumping you to another flight!

EDIT: Thanks @mpeg for pointing out that this is a different outage. Still yucky copy though.

Oddly enough I was on Gmail and Chrome kept crashing. Did all the usual stuff, cleared everything, restarted etc. Turns out, for me at least, the only time it crashes is when I go to Gmail.com.

I'd really love to investigate and find out why these two related products behave this way but honestly I'm way too lazy.
