Mailbox co-founder hints at desktop app

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/06/mailbox-desktop-2013-06-04-01.jpg Although Mailbox can play nicely with Gmail on iOS, one of the bigger gaps in its resume is the lack of desktop availability. During a keynote at the DEMO Europe conference, CEO Gentry Underwood hinted that might change soon, saying that a desktop app “is something we have to do in order to stay competitive,” and that “it’s on our roadmap.” The Mailbox app – which promises “inbox zero” – is currently limited to iOS devices and Gmail, whereas Dropbox, which recently purchased it for a rumored $100 million, is available on virtually all platforms. With the need to add Android, new email clients like Outlook and now desktop support, Mailbox’s roadmap is now bumper-to-bumper – we’ll just have to wait and see which drops first.
