Actually, a lot of work has been done to make unity touch friendly,
but more needs to be done. Once a keyboard works with the dash, it
will be well on it's way.
It's worth keeping in mind that Cannonical's plans are for Unity to
work across all devices, so discussions about using gnome shell
instead are going to be counterproductive.
Re mail clients, has anyone else had a chance to look at the current
offering from android with ICS? Really well put together in terms of
design for a tablet. I use it on a 7 inch hacked kindle fire. It's
awesome.
Apart from speed issues with lower end hardware, I wonder if
thunderbird could be a good way to go. Rather than rewriting the
entire program, we could probably use plugins to customize it. Of
course, with mozillas rapid update cycle these could potentially
break, but with Cannonical's support, it just might be possible.

Why would the Gnome Mail not be usable on a small (smartphone)

it properly (currently they're only designs) it shouldn't be a
problem from what I've seen.
Right, it depends on the GUI design. The current mockups wouldn't work
on a Smartphone.
Besides, I think the current GNOME Shell is better for tablets than
Unity.
Until now there is no work done to make Unity touch friendly. I have a
10" tablet running Precise. Here is a first impression report (in german)

I guess, it really would be better to create a new mail client
special for Ubuntu. Gnome Mail looks nice, but if Unity should
come also to small tablets like the Streak or a Smartphone Gnome
Mail wouldn't work.
The Client needs an interface that fits both tablet and smartphone

Hi, I wonder which email client shoud be used on a tablet
(or even on a phone). Thunderbird is not really a good
choice. I tried it yesterday, but it's awful. Or is it
possible to make the surface touch friendly?
Regards
Markus
