I'm evaluating the use of GWT for one of our production apps. However after 2 hours of search I haven't found a single web application (outside google) which uses GWT already. Is it too early for anyone to use GWT ?
I'm looking for apps which have feature rich UI and/or apps which pleasant to look at.
BTW I assumed that Google webapps are not written in GWT. If thats not true and if someone has a list of google apps written in GWT please let me know.

I'm keeping a list of them. See http://www.ociweb.com/mark/ GWT.html#WhoIsUsingIt for the ones I know about so far. Kids Klogs looks particularly well done.
My company has been using GWT since almost day 1. So far we are working on (or have finished): - A large scale, interactive site, completely written in GWT - Several web sites with GWT components integrated into them
There are, as always in a new technology, things to be wary of and little things that catch you out, but overall we have been very impressed with GWT. I would recommend you take a good long look at what you need to do, and if you really need AJAX (if it makes the users life easier) and you want to do more than just the real basics (change some inner HTML), then I would highly recommend using GWT. For us it has been a lifesaver, because no more do we have to hack cross- browser Javascript (*yuck*)

Anything we can look at or are these for internal applications?

There is only one site that I can point you to, and I've emailed it to you. I didn't want to post it here because our client does their own hosting, and I don't know what the effect on their bandwidth would be if I posted it here.
The other large GWT project that we are working on is pretty sensitive, which is a shame because it's (IMHO) a beautiful and functional site. Our design team went to town with it, and unlike most GWT implementations I've seen it doesn't use the default Google CSS. When we finally release it, then I will post a link to it here, but that's many months away.

I've started work on transforming my search portal into GWT-based service. For now I am amazed how easy it going though I am trying to make very flexible architecture (for example, my grid table with results supports any type of columns - they are self-rendered, external pager control etc).
