I bet there are a few using it.

I wonder if Google are overselling their servers? If I save 300 invites and spam each one with 1gb worth of crap, that'd be 300gb used.

I think they would have to be overselling there space unless they are going to cap the number of users

I fill up 1% a day (10MB) in my GMail account. At this rate, it would take me less than 4 months to fill it up.

man, that did get me worried...
I was like "hmm google wouldn't do something like this.."
but then I was thinking that past 2 days gmail has been giving me trouble... alot of times when I try to send emails it says "This cannot be performed at this time. Please try again in a moment"

Oh well

On their site I did find a part where it said signing up during BETA would mean you keep your account when released publically.
