Oops! Sorry- I tend to dash off most, if not all, of my usenet babblings
from the QMail client in my Windows Mobile 6 phone (like this post). A
great program, but certainly not as polished or as featured as a desktop
client. It lacks a spell checker, which is only half the problem- after
seven years of using touchscreen-based Windows CE devices I can often peck
the soft keyboard faster than than this phone can process the taps,
resulting in missed letters (like the "gan" in organization!) You'll also
notice a lot of lowercase "v" instead of spaces in my posts- that's just my
bad habit of allowing the stylus to touch down early on the way to the
spacebar! ;-)

(The skipped letters aren't so much a testiment to my great speed at
"typing" with a stylus as much as an indication of how underpowered the HTC
Wizard is with it's pokey 200MHz processor. If it's busy with too many
other tasks, like downloading e-mail while I'm listening to music, screen
input gets really intermittent!)


To clarify my badly written post, I'm not really a fan of either the iPhone
or Lotus Notes- it just seems like this is a small step towards Apple
addressing some of the device's shortcomings for enterprise e-mail.
