We all like to think we have style, a certain flair - that our taste in clothing says a little something about us. Whatever social groups we have chosen to conform to, we still hope that there is something that sets us apart. Before we started Tricastmedia, we knew there are many mobile email vendors out there, the likes of VISTO, RIM, SnapperFish, IntelliSync, Movamail, Axismobile and Flurrymail. Many of these solutions are server-based, with the exception of SnapperFish. There is nothing wrong using a proxy/gateway-approach to poll the mail servers and “push” these mails to the clients. However, in their “over-zealous” attempt to build that all-powerful server/proxy, often times, you see their mail clients are very lacking in UI, not to mention usability. Much emphasis is done on the server, server aggregates mail data, compresses, optimises, and sends the content to the mail client via push… functional no question about that. But user interface on these solutions is often compromised. Just go download the product from their websites, you form your own judgement.
And we think people love Blackberry not because they of the UI, but because of the superb integrated keypad. Having said that, we like to think PEGASUS is one email client with style and it is simple software that works!
