Browser + Email This has something that many people I know have been waiting for, and it still isn't here yet.
The idea: Combine a web browser and an email client into one application. Native email clients tend to work better for many people as opposed to internet based inboxes because they can be accessed offline. But since the internet and email are often used in tandem, why not combine these to functions into one application? The simple push of a button could bring up the email client, perhaps in a new tab. Unlike an internet inbox, the information (address books, emails, etc.) would be stored natively on the user's computer. However, emails and RSS feeds would all be accessed in the same window as the links they bring up. Someone sends you a link to an article... you click on it and it opens a new tab instead of starting a new application. You can easily go right back to your inbox/mail client by clicking on it's tab. As a reference, check out Safari's bookmarks tab. This is built similarly to it's email client, and can be used as an RSS reader. If this were taken just a step further, users could have a full-fledged browser/ email client suite all in one application. I have taken this suggestion to Apple... but they haven't bitten yet. Head start, anybody? I hope you are interested. Thank you.
