Why not write it as a web-based app? That would eliminate the email
component altogether, and allow access from Android, Apple, Zune, Palm
Pilot, PC, Macintosh, tablets, iPad, kiosks and pretty much anything
else with a web connection.

Writing custom apps for each proprietary hardware platform is great if
you need to take advantage of native functionality of the machine
(GPS, accelerometer, camera, telephony, etc.) but for generic CRUD
apps, it can be advantageous to just write to a common platform. Kinda
like "Write Once, Run Anywhere..."
