EP #515: How to build the perfect mobile email client - with Acompli co-founder Javier Soltero

Email. Love it or hate it, there is still nothing that rivals it as a business tool. Everyone has an email address and the adoption and use is not abating despite the other communication channels that have emerged. Email has become synonymous with the smartphones we use - think back to the original flavour of BlackBerry, it was sold as a mobile email tool. Legend has it that when Lazaridis saw people responding to email on their BlackBerry's while sitting in front of their desktops he knew a shift had happened in the industry.   Flash forward to today and, if your inbox is like mine, email has become an albatross - a vacuous place where good deeds and intentions go to die. Mobile email was supposed to help smooth out our day so we don't return to our desks with 100's or 1000's or unread messages but this hasn't happened. Now, as we move more and more to a small screen as our dominant (read: first) screen, our practice of mobile email triage does not suffice.   This is where today's guest, Javier Soltero, and his company, Acompli begin. Javier and his team looked at email as a specific workflow and built an incredibly easy to use mobile app that solves many of our challenges with mobile email. This is the story of why Javier and Acompli are challenging the norm, the installed incumbents and the process of email use in a mobile world.   Full show notes can be found here:  http://untether.tv/2014/ep-515-how-to-build-the-perfect-mobile-email-client-with-acompli-co-founder-javier-soltero/
