A group of are already working on it :)
www.bungo.com - unfortunately, the free service is going away in a matter of
days.  Costs too much to maintain, and it is frequently abused by folks
distributing pr0n of all things...

At any rate - we're making serious progress, and things look good at least
for the short term.  We don't sell the software - instead we sell the
service.  I don't think we have plans to sell the software yet - but we've
at least recognized the potential.

The services require no specialized client - just a current browser.  IE and
Netscape seem to work wel - Mozilla and Konquerer show some issues though.
Our developers are working on the problem...

Palm Pilot support is scheduled.  We started to work on it, then the dev
environment we were using became unavailable (read: went OOB).  However, we
recently found some very helpful stuff, and we're going to pick this up
again soon.
