It’s no secret that the PlayBook has thus far garnered mediocre views around the industry, with the chief concern being email for non-BlackBerry users. We mentioned in our review how despite good hardware and new software, the lack of native email was a serious omission. Shortly after the negative reviews started pouring in, RIM announced that they were in fact working on a native email app for the PlayBook, though declined to share any specific release date other than “soon”.
RIM may be beaten to the punch, however, as a third party app developed by UK-based AiFlex and going by the name of “aMail” looks to hit the market before RIM’s in-house offering. aMail supports IMAP, POP, and up to 10 accounts simultaneously without having to be tethered to a BlackBerry via Bridge or other means.
The app itself is pretty straight forward allowing all the functions you’d expect in an email app. We’d even say that aMail looks rather nice to boot with clean lines, nice gradients, and some subtle animations. But we’ll let you judge that last part for yourselves. Video after the break…
