It's got nothing. The mail application was a (relatively) thin client to a service that ran on AWS, and that service was shut down in January. The idea is that you'd write your own embedded code to make the device cool.

- amolsarva 15y agoWe still run the cloud-based mail service; these devices stopped working because of plumbing stuff mostly. There are tons of devices with thin clients hitting the cloud -- that's actually what we spend all our time on these days... But you are right about what someone would try to do with it
- bri3d 15y agoAh - sorry! I thought your more recent cloud offering was something totally new. Thanks for the clarification!
