Would be much more interesting/useful to label contacts, not only messages. Labelling all work-related, school-related, family-related contacts would mark all work related mail with one label & color. Contact groups are not that useful, you can’t use them in filters. What do you think?

Yup, checked it out already. It is indeed a pleasing feature. I like it.
Earlier I had reverted back to the older version of GMail, but now the new version is back again in my browser.

The new version sure is more responsive. Though it does take slightly more time in opening it up completely. Without the Chat unit it works just like before too, so no real issues for me.
