Modest goes beta

Modest, the new email client for Nokia's Internet Tablets, has finally gone into public beta. This is not only interesting in itself - at Isode, we've several Internet Tablet users - but also because Modest has good reason to be proud of what lies beneath the polished UI.

Modest is not only one of the first consumer-grade second-generation mobile email clients, capable of leveraging the Lemonade Profile to gain impressive performance advantages over basic email clients - it's the first to be using elements of the next-generation Lemonade Profile, providing even more speed - as well as cost savings - to its users.

This will undoubtedly have a strong effect on user demand for support for Lemonade features in their mail service provider's offering, but more importantly it's a clear demonstration that Lemonade is well and truly hitting the mainstream.
