Brevemente a Yahoo vai oferecer espaço ilimitado nas suas contas de e-mail. É um movimento que se tem verificado desde que o Google ofereceu 2 Gb de espaço. Há pouco tempo foi a vez do Hotmail passar para 2 Gb. A Yahoo comemora os seus 10 anos de e-mail gratuito e ataca de novo.
Para se perceber como evoluiu a oferta de espaço de armazenamento em várias tecnologias veja-se este exemplo retirado do sítio Yodel:
When Yahoo! Mail launched 10 years ago, users got a whopping 4MB of storage for their entire mailbox. Today, you would fill that up with a single picture from your weekend.
This got me thinking about how the storage capacity of other popular technology products has changed. A quick snapshot:
