I was going to post on this before I took off for two days, but decided to wait for more forum coverage. Now that WebmasterWorld has about 4 pages on this topic, which they coin Google Abandons Accessiblity.

GMail is in beta, so we can't officially complain or can we? Isn't most of Google's features in beta? examples: Froogle, Local, News, Catalogs and others.
