Whatever you call it, smart phones or super phones, I don’t see why SMS and email has to be treated differently. Well I understand that the fundamental difference between the two. But I don’t see why when I want to send a message, and I decide for some reason that I’d rather email it, I just can’t switch the recipient. I mean, technically speaking other than the subject like the rest of the interface is pretty much the same, right?

Then as you introduce push email (or just interval checking), you can even be notified the same way if you like.
