Google has announced holiday goodies for Gmail users. The new services available are Gmail Mobile, Vacation Autoresponder and Gmail Contact Groups.

Gmail Mobile is a free service for accessing gmail through mobile phones.

“Just point your phone’s web browser to http://m.gmail.com.
Your Gmail account stays synched, whether you access it from the web or the mobile interface.” [source]

Vacation Autoresponder is for those who would like to leave a message to their contacts that they are on vacation and will not be able to check their email till they return.

“You can set up a vacation response in your Gmail account that will automatically reply to anyone who emails you. While the vacation responder is enabled, Gmail will send a response to anyone who contacts you.* If that person contacts you again after four days and your vacation responder is still enabled, Gmail will send another vacation response to remind the person that you’re away from your email.” [source]

By creating a Contact Group, gmail users can send messages to a number of people at the same time.
