Like email, Shortmail lets you communicate with anyone who has an email address — one-to-one or as a group.
Messages are limited to 500 characters, which keeps things concise, readable and conversational.
Shortmail also introduces the idea of "Public" (readable by the world) and "Open" (joinable by the world) conversations – so it's social.
And you'll automatically receive notification of new Shortmails using Apple's Push Notification service — a great way to stay on top of important communication.
In our first release for iOS, Shortmail requires a Twitter account, and turns your Twitter username into a Shortmail email address.
So, if you're "@happybird" on Twitter, you're "happybird@shortmail.com" on Shortmail. And that's a public email address you can share with the rest of the world. Anyone can easily find you on Shortmail and contact you (unlike DM's, which require the user to be following you).
Shortmail for iOS follows the debut of Shortmail.com which received international attention for its bold moves to reinvent email. Following many suggestions from the Email Charter (http://emailcharter.org), Shortmail attempts to solve the problem of information overload by putting a small cost – that of conciseness and clarity – onto the sender.
Shortmail for iOS is a great companion to Shortmail.com, but can also be used alone. It integrates seamlessly into iOS 5 and instantly converts your iOS Twitter accounts into Shortmail accounts with no signup, no passwords, and no hassle!
So join the Shortmail revolution – give it a try for 30 days and see how much better your email life becomes! ...More

Shortmail is a new messaging service and iPhone app that combines aspects of Twitter and Email into a brand new socially aware service. You sign up for a new user@shortmail.com address that ties into your existing Twitter account. Messages in shortmail are meant to be short, concise, and bite sized as with tweets. You can compose emails to one person, or to a group. Shortmail limits email messages to 500 characters (about 5 sentences), no attachments. Finally shortmail meshes in social communication. New messages can be sent privately, or they can be made into “public” messages which like Twitter posts can be read by anyone, or “open” conversations which anyone can join and reply to. The service offers a website as well as an iPhone app for now, with Android and iPad apps hopefully coming soon. You can also setup and use a shortmail IMAP account in your email client of

Love Shortmail, the Twitter-esque e-mail service that caps all messages at 500 characters? Good news: they’ve just launched an iPhone App. For those just now hearing about the service for the first time, Shortmail is an effort to make e-mail “concise, readable and conversational.” You sign into Shortmail with your Twitter account, and get an @shortmail.com address with a matching handle. If I signed in with my @Grg twitter name, for example, I would be grg@shortmail.com (Note: I’ve never signed in with that handle, so that address won’t work. Don’t e-mail me there.) You can then correspond with any other e-mail address in the world, with one twist:

Updated review: 3 starsIt finally started working on its own. The interface looks beautiful. I'll update this review after I have more experience with it. Original review: 1 starThis app won't start on my phone. It crashes on startup every time, even after killing the app and trying to start fresh. I'm using an iPhone 4 on AT&T 3G with 4 bars of signal.
Perfect for messaging
