I am not a developer, but I am interested in having simple email reading capability on the iLiad.

So my question is how difficult would it be to port Sylpheed Claws into the iLiad?

Also would it ever be possible to run a program on the iLiad without getting the "Shell Hack" from iRex. I don't quite understand why the iLiad is an open platform for developers if a special permission from iRex in needed to run other apps. Is the plan to ultimately eliminate the need for the shell hack to run other apps?

Thanks.
