Sparrow for iPhone now available



And finally came the day when iPhone Sparrow was born, as I discussed in February .

The application looks and very careful design, something that at least personally, I was not disappointed, but I expected it to be universal and currently only supports iPhone / iPhone Touch.

Today, when an application goes to the App Store, which does not have a version (albeit separately and paid) for iPad, I think it denotes a delay. Although they could be excused, when Sparrow is a small company that is starting and only focused on the development of OS X and iPhone OS.

Although not everything could be good, and it Sparrow does not include push notifications. According to the developers explain, there are two ways to do this, one with potential security problems that have chosen not to run and the other rejected by Apple, listed below:

  • On our side, if Push Sparrow had today, we would have to store the credentials (login and password) on our servers to make requests for changes to your account and then send you notifications. We are not prepared to assume this responsibility. As a "startup" focused on the development of IOS and OS X, we have the ability to secure your data on our servers and we do not put sensitive information at risk. Sparrow's why iPhone 1.0 is not push.
  • The supplier-mail: at Sparrow for Mac, your credentials are safe because we communicate with your mail providers securely with SSL.

So apparently, the first version of Sparrow with push (using the same system using VoIP applications to receive calls without being open application) that they sent Apple was rejected, so far it incorporates.

The official website , you will find an interactive animation that lets you see how it works internally the application. You can also see the video heads these lines.

Are you willing to use a push-mail application no matter how good it is in you?
