Isn't that what I said?
No, you didn't. :-D
A GMail ID is used for everything you do with Google that requires logging in. For example, when you get an Android device, you register it to your GMail account.
Where is says:
" One account is all you need A single username and password gets you into everything Google."
Indeed. But that can be /any/ new username and password.
The first Google account many people had was GMail, as that's all that was available.
I don't get it. Most people did or do have an other mail address available. Even with a hotmail address one can get a Google account. I suspect most people assumed a Gmail account was required and didn't check if that was really so.
