QuickSend Sends Simple, One-Hand Emails from Your iPhone
Posted by Adam Pash at 7:00 AM on July 19, 2008
iPhone/iPod touch only: Free application QuickSend creates and sends simple emails in a flash through a one-hand-friendly interface. When you fire up the app, you get two scrollable sections: the first with email addresses of your contacts and the second with messages. Line up the two you want and tap the Email It button. QuickSend launches a new email with the necessary fields auto-populated, and all you have to do is hit send. While it's a great app for one-handed emails, it could use some improvements. First, if you've got a lot of contacts, finding the right address in the unsorted list is a pain. Second, this really seems best suited for an SMS-integrated application, since these are the sorts of messages you want to send when someone isn't necessarily at their computer. Either way it's a good start. QuickSend is freeware, requires an iPhone or iPod touch running 2.0 firmware.

Not free, unless $0.99 is now considered free.

Besides the fact of a contact not having a cell phone number; I don't see how this application is useful.
Why wouldn't you just text message?

Well, in the current implementation I find it totally useless...

This application would be better if it had maybe 9 contacts of your choosing (with photos), from which you'd select one then have separate "call", "SMS", and "e-mail" buttons on the bottom row.
"Call" would give you a selection of which number (home, work, mobile) to choose from, and "SMS" or "e-mail" would give you a choice of canned messages or a text entry screen.

Efficient or not, one line emails are rude. They lack the context people need to read your text and understand your emotional message that goes along with the text message.
How about an app that updates a website with where I am? I'd authorize certain contacts to be able to view it.

I'd like an app like this, but like mentioned in the article, for SMS.
Let me define the people i text most for the top field, and then define my common text on the bottom.
As it stands right now, i have no real use for it.

Coolest new app on the iPhone: I can now use it to read ebooks! I've been waiting for an app like this for a while...

This would make it quicker and easier than opening sms, getting the contact and then typing the message. Now you can fire off a message with four touches and no typing.
