Have you tried HorizMail (AppStore)?

I downloaded TouchType but I wasn't aware that there were alternatives in the app store as well. Too bad, I've already paid for this app and tested it and it works fine so I'm not going to download and pay for another app unless it is considerable better.

Jeremy, maybe you should gather all the mail apps and do a battle to see which one TiPb editors like the most...

I also noticed the explosion of landscape mail writing apps but am waiting to see if universal landscape appears in an update. I did wonder how they got through if Apple is planning to allow landscape mode in mail – maybe it’s not going to happen now.

@Patrick,

Er… we’re not iPhone Atlas, nor do we make any entries there, but thanks for the info and the post has been updated. Don’t hesitate to contact us and let us know about your apps, or post about them directly in our App Forums:

@patrick, sorry but this is the only one I tried out. And us the only one I noticed when writing this. I’ll be sure to check yours out as well sometime soon.

Just wondering why you chose to single out one of the FOUR iPhone apps released last night that all allow users to write emails in landscape mode. See this list:

http://www.macrumors.com/iphone/2008/10/08/landscape-email-apps-is-apple-easing-up-on-rejection-policy/

Your most recent entry in iPhone Atlas makes it seem like there’s only one app out there that does this.

It would be great if you’d update that entry to reflect the fact that iPhone / iPod touch users now have four choices if they want to write emails in landscape mode.

Full disclosure: I developed one of the other four apps, Wide Email.

Cheers, Patrick

I would like to point out there are 3or4 other apps that do the same thing. Just search “Email Landscape” and you will get them all. (2 of them are close to last)
