Easy Writer makes email on an iPhone slightly less painful
After hearing stories about Apple rejecting email clients from the iTunes store because they duplicate the functionality of Apple's own Mail app, I've started to get a little nitpicky about Mail. For example, it's annoying that Mail won't let you compose in landscape mode. A free app called Easy Writer cleverly works around that, though, making your mobile email experience a little bit more user-friendly.Easy Writer can't change the Mail app itself, so it uses a bit of a hack to get the job done. Start a new message in Mail, then open up Easy Writer for glorious landscape mode. You can even pinch and zoom the text for better readability while you're working. When you're done with the message, tap the "send to Mail" button, and you're back in Mail with a completed message, ready to send. It's a bit of extra work, but until Apple adds these features to Mail, it's the best of its kind.
