It took more than 5 years for Gmail to leave the beta nest, but it along with Google Docs, Calendar and Talk are all shedding the label today. The company says the move has much to do with inspiring confidence in the services to the enterprise customers who use the non-beta versions of the paid apps, yet notice the consumer versions of those apps are still flagged with a moniker that indicates "testing" or "not ready for prime time."

More good news for those enterprise clients: new Google Apps features including mail delegation, mail retention and ongoing enhancements to Apps reliability.
