Gmail Labs and Gmail in general is becoming more feature rich everyday. Two new welcome additions are the widgets that allow you to get a snapshot of your Google Calendar and Google Docs, showing recent items in Docs and your upcoming schedule in Calendar. Up until now I had been using Remember the Milk as a task list in Google. I was aversed to using the greasemonkey scripts that were available to perform similar scorcery but it seemed too much like a hack for my liking.
With the new additions to Labs, the left nav panel does get a bit cluttered, still there are also labs features to re-arrange the layout of some of the other page elements such as chat and links, and I think labels can also be moved to right of screen. There is also drag-and-drop available on these elements which helps provide a somewhat less cluttered workspace. In Google Apps all these improvements make a super productive email environment, everything at your fingertips.

On a sidenote Gmail for mobile has also been updated to version 2, now with support for Google Apps users.
