Yep, it's been throwing 502 HTTP errors for about 25 minutes now. We've
been getting a handful of calls from frantic Gmail users wondering why
we broke their interwebs. 
Yes, I'm seeing errors like:
Google Error
Server Error
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in 30 seconds.

Gmail and Google Apps are down in our neck of the woods.

More specifically?
It appears to be much more a problem with gmail (the MUA) than gmail (the MDA).
Gmail/imap appears to be working fine, at least from AUS.

Yup, it's down.

Been down for the past twenty minutes or so for me in Chapel Hill, NC.
Other Google services seem to be working fine.

FWIW:
http://gmail.com doesn't work for me either right now, but I've read the whole "Issues with Gmail" thread and posted this email via GMail POP and GMail SMTP....

Somehow it's always our fault, isn't it? 
(Sorry about the earlier top-posting...have been forced to switch to Outlook, and just discovered Outlook QuiteFix.)

Works fine from chicago via imap
Down, definitely down. Call the White House!
It should be clear that the root cause here is a lack of regulation, so could someone phone Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) _urgently_ and advise him that the only way to stop problems like this happening in future is to ensure that the government has a firm grip of the steering wheel at all these web2.0 companies. Also, rather than letting these trendy, fashionable Googlers attempt to fix critical systems like gmail, that real service problems like this ought to be fixed by accredited cyber security professionals, preferably ones which can demonstrate their computing ability by wearing a suit and tie.
If we've learned anything in the telecommunications world, it's that if any organisation can respond quickly to a problem and deal with it efficiently and effectively, it's a Government.

Same thing here in the US. Pop/Imap access remains solid. I never use the web interface.

access via igoogle via a web client works as well ...
As a government-employed computer security guy who has never owned or worn a suit OR tie, I feel entitled to ask... WTF?
