They seem to be well-liked by their users, and are oddly cheap on Craigslist. That said there is a Hotmail application (sorry, Outlook.com) for Android: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook-to-go Seems to be written as well as any other Microsoft application based on the rating. :) There are also other hotmail-specific apps in the Play Store. There are others, but I haven't investigated them much since I'm used to the Gmail app now. Can you use the gmail app with email other than gmail? I don't think so, sorry. :( The gmail app is a Google proprietary application, so unlike the Mail app it is not open-source.

Re: [MBZ] OT Android Email
When my Blackberry died I could not justify the purchase of another one. I consider the platform dead. I bought and iPhone 4S and haven't looked back. The iOS sandboxing is generally secure. The company I work for will require a special app for Android phones to pretty much do the same as iOS does out of the box.

Download an app that's not Google. Google's email is designed to handle threaded view expecting that you will open up the quoted text. Boomerang Android app is in beta and I've suggested the quote feature.

Hey Luther, when you go tablet shopping, look carefully at the Acer Chromebook. It's under 200 bux and runs rings around my wife's tablet.
