Email App Almost Ready For Blackberry Playbook
The PlayBook Could Be Getting An Email App, But It's Not Coming From RIM

Blackberry Playbook users may soon have their prayers answered by aMail, a third party email app that will soon be available through the Blackberry App World.
The app supports IMAP, POP, and up to 10 accounts simultaneously.
Most importantly, the app enables users to send and receive emails from their Playbooks without tethering a Blackberry handheld to it.
RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie says an official native email app is coming soon, but this news could not dissuade the dozens of negative reviews for the tablet.
Check out a video of aMail in action below:

- We are still waiting for aMail to be approved and should be available soon. We have just submitted the next update of aMail to blackberry to join the queue, which supports attachments.
Attachments supported: doc, docx, ppt, pptx, mp3, png, jpg, xls, xlsx and pdf (more to follow)
From our experience this version may be accepted at the same time as the current version in the approval queue. I will make sure we get some screen shots and maybe a video of it in action soon. Although hopefully it will be approved before we get round to it.
Thank you for your patience. AiFlex is still developing more features to integrate into aMail and want to deliver them as quickly as possible. Currently working on an integrated home page to see all of your mailboxes in one place.
I will keep you posted on our progress04-30-11 12:28 PMLike 0 - We are still waiting for aMail to be approved and should be available soon. We have just submitted the next update of aMail to blackberry to join the queue, which supports attachments.

- I met a lady at best buy today who wanted to purchase the pb. She wanted to know if the pb had an app that would sync with office 2010 for email. The employees just said the pb doesn't do any emails yet.
I let her know she should get the pb from the real canadian superstore since they are having a tax free event this weekend. I also told her about this app. I said I believed it would meet her needs and sync. She said the only device that could sync at her work was her palm.
I know the information I provided is vague, but do you feel this app could sync?

I publish themes in appworld and it rarely takes a full week for things to get approved unless RIM emails me and tells me to change something. Once modifications are made, usually just wording, the app is approved that same day. So, this seems a bit fishy. I know RIM is capable of approving more than 10-25 apps a day. Smells fishy to me, is this really normal?

- dont know why they would stop a good meaning company from making money to offset thier investment.
it is not like rim is going to charge for this update....or would they? *roll*

coming from a n900, i am not used to being so locked out of the system and not being able to install anything or change any of the system properties...mainly the fonts...cant wait til this is cracked!05-01-11 12:21 AMLike 0 -
That said, they do expose most GUI functionality on their phones for developers and theme makers to access, so I think it's safe to assume that they will do so eventually for PlayBook. I think they want to get the core functionality and issues hammered out first.05-01-11 07:05 AMLike 0 - So I notice we got a new dump of apps in AppWorld today, but still not aMail...
