I find that hard to believe as stated. The feature set "as implemented"

but for a *new* product what we are talking about is a set of design

implementation in code to accomplish the task. I like the SM
implementation...(completely) new code, same look.
I'll make you a deal, if you want to HIRE me, with a contract, weekly
pay, etc. And give me a device or two that I can test my code on. And
pay for any dev kits I need to do the work.
I will attempt this task.
Beyond that I don't think I (or anyone here) would have time or the
ability to do it.
Time, maybe. Ability? I'm certain they do. At least I'm certain the
development team does.
I may also require you to hire additional people to make this possible
(since I know very little about the mail side of things)
That's only fair, and I've thought about attempting it myself...but if I
do and am successful, I'll of course be keeping all the money...
...and I'd expect you to do the same.
Aha. What money? SM is free of cost at the moment. If they're expecting
to develop another SM from scratch for iOS style products, you're also
going to have to locate a pretty rich donor, to pay salaries and such
things.
And in the end, you're going to expect Honda style reliability and
usefulness...which MUST come from the team who does the job anew. "Anew"
because what you want doesn't yet exist.
