There's my beloved Palm VII, of course, along with its siblings and competitors with wireless attachments. Then we have the latest in wireless phone and pager technology, which now also brings us web and email access. So it's bound to become the norm for some folks to regularly check their email when they're away from their main home or work computers. Set it on your kitchen countertop and browse cooking sites, or check your daily emailed recipes. WebTV also comes into play, especially for the senior set.
Users can check their email between soaps without missing a beat.
HTML-enabled email programs goes does not yet have the ability to sense whether a recipient's address is wireless or not. Also, attachments and high-tech graphics can't yet be downloaded, which means that rich media promotions currently received by a Palm or a cell are rendered completely ineffective. Granted, companies are at this very moment developing solutions to the above challenges and will most likely soon launch new products to address them. For starters, you can suppress from your mailings any known alternative addresses such as palm.net. Just keep in mind that recipients will not, at present, be able to simply point and click to get to your promotion's web site.
