Motivation

Firstly, I just wondered if this was even possible to do :) As it turned out, yes I was able to create SMS entries in real time as push emails arrived.

Secondly, it is just a bit of fun for me. I'm not sure that anyone needs this capability. I'm half expecting to get ridiculed for writing an app to solve a problem that does not exist, but we'll see what happens. :) BUT I may get some good ideas for new messaging apps or become aware of different usage patterns.

The effort involved was reasonably minimal as I've built up a lot of email code working on other projects.

Cheers,

Glen
