this app is pretty cool....but i think RIM is headed in that direction anyway. doing the HTML thing in email is a security problem, so that is why it's not available on BBs courtesy of RIM. Something i'm willing to deal with so that I don't worry about problems later on.

i bet maybe a generation down the road (next years' phones), BBs will already be doing this out of the box. but for now one of the problems i can see is bandwidth issues when everyone and their mothers start getting HTML content displayed on their phones, it will cause severe bottle-necks all over the place.

when 3G is officially rolled out by the major carriers who aren't quite there yet, this would not be a problem anymore.....
