Well advertised Hype-ware too.
Joins the list with Clear and the others. (IMO of course)

What's all this about server overload? Whose server? Why?
As I understand, for the app in order to make it work all your email has to come to and then through their servers. Which is why it is only working with gmail, that's the only company that was willing so far to give them access in such a way.
Until it is open to all services its a meh in my book.
Agreed. Also, since none of that prioritizing and stuff is going to be visible in the desktop Gmail interface or anything, this is really of limited use. If they also made a Mac OS X app for this, and/or a regular web interface that synced all the work you do on the phone, I could see it making sense. But, honestly, a lot of the emailing I do on a phone is kind of triage anyway. The real work gets done on the desktop with a real keyboard.
I had to restore my text messages so the code is gone :/ anyway to get it?
Free app. No Ads. Email is routed through their servers.
Anyone want to take a stab at their money making business model?
You don't make money just from email. You need to snoop on those emails and show ads next to them (or use them to build a personal profile for targeted ads) to make money.
From their site:
is this supposed to be some viral marketing crap? signing up to download a free app? lol ... they must swim in "demand" for an email app
1. It gets their name out there for any paid apps they have or create later
2. They can always charge for things like having more than one email working with the app.
3. Hope that this will blow up and someone wants to buy it. Like google or apple.
I wonder how long it will take for me to get access? Can't wait to see a few reviews as well.
Actually I did a little calculation for my position in queue (im currently 65k something), and I should be at the top of the queue in 28 days.
I'm at 343,702 so I'm thinking it will be a few years?!?

Only 8,600 in front of me but by the time I get to use it... All of the OTHER mail/email apps that are being developed will ready to use.
Imagine the fact that you have to wait for the people in front of you to do it... And they totally forget about it because they are discouraged by the line of people
People are waiting on a virtual waitlist to hand over their Google login/password to a company they've never heard of, so that company can give them access to their own emails and contacts.
P.T. Barnum was right.
