Ping may app an iPhone is a new email app that wants to change your entire view of mobile email. Ping does this by turning messages into conversations. The app focuses on people first.
Any email that deals directly with a person is tossed into one category and messages like newsletters, subscriptions, and offers are tossed into another column, out of view.
Ping organizes your email in a more modern way. You see all of your conversations in one simple stream. The app sorts the messages into people, groups, and sources and the result looks more like a instant message or text than the way we see email now. The result looks more like a social network.
Besides just making your emails look different, Ping also integrates services like video chat and voice calls. You can assign colors and sounds to specific senders so you'll know whether or not you should pull out your phone when a new message arrives.
Some other features include: real-time responses, meaning you can see when another Ping user is typing or online. There's instant access to shared media like attachments, documents, and pictures, and you can snooze messages to save them for later.
