[...] The venerable communications tool known as “e-mail”, the Internet’s original “Killer App”, is broken, and probably needs to die. At the very least, it needs to evolve, and it might be *too hard* to evolve it, we might be better off coming up with a replacement and a migration strategy. Actually, I think I might even have the beginnings of such in my head from a brainstorm the other night, but it’s competing with a few other things to get out of there right now. Oh and by “evolve” I certainly do not mean this. [...]

3D Mailbox: Worst. App. Ever….

I was skeptical when I read this headline, but nope, they’re 100% correct. Worst. App. Ever. I don’t even know what to say beyond that. Just watch the trailer video. …

There will be new “levels” that will be added to it in due time (one being an airport terminal where your e-mails are represented by planes landing on the tarmac) I would be very interested giving this program a try.

This program will cater to a particular target audience, so shouldn’t be criticized purely on not liking the idea, that’s more personal. I would be criticizing such things such as weather the loading times of the program is worth the experience of getting e-mails through this program.

If we don’t kill this thing RIGHT NOW, all future email programs will look like this. Keep on kicking, mates! Clockwork Orange style!

@ Bill Hartzer,
Maybe the shark will throw it up if you want it back?

How is this more similar to regular mail than email? There is a reason why email does not change - it works just fine as it is anything else is just plain weird.

@108 What’s detached from reality is a spreadsheet with one mail per line, which is what this definitely ISN’T. It’s sun, sand, beautiful water, beautiful people… for when you can’t be out in St. Tropez yourself.

There’s something else that simulates life in this way, and it’s called Television, people. Get outta the 1940’s.

Word on the street is that Lucas Films did the movie trailer for them, and it cost like 3 million bucks. Man, what I could do with that much money! And just for what, 60 seconds?

this is the sort of thing that makes me want to drop all this high-tech stuff and raise goats. it’s just too darn detached from reality to make any sense.

The thing I can’t work out is why people need to express an opinion about someone’s, (in this case Duncan’s), opinion.”

So why do you need to express an opinion about people who express an opinion about Duncan’s opinion? In my opinion that’s equally pointless.

I’m with Mark (#97). Sony’s PostPet is/was pretty huge. They even sold special post pet PDAs in 98-99. PostPet is still going and is built into a few Sony cell phones in Japan even today.

The short explantion is, You have a small room where you keep your “postpet”. When you need to send email your use your PostPet. He will take the mail to your friend (and appear in your friend’s PostPet’s room). There, the postpets not only exchange email but also personal info learned while play games with your postpet (like your favorite color). Later your postpet returns to computer, possibily with a response letter from your friend, presents and also various pieces of info that your pet will reveal over time like “Hey, did you know your friend has a crush on Jill?” and stuff like that.

If Sony has been so hugely successful with this I certainly can’t look at 3dmail and think it’s the dumbest idea ever. I can look at it and think the style sucks ass.

Mii mail by Nintendo (I’m making that up but still) seems like it would be hugely popular.

Well, I’m disappointed that it doesn’t work on OS X. It looks like a hoot and if they can find enough people that actually like it enough to buy the full product then all power to them. Folks here seem to be confusing ‘bad’ with ‘bad taste’ which is misguided.
