It’s a momentous day for Vietnamese engineers. Hoa Dinh Viet, a Vietnamese-French engineer, is sitting on top of the Mac App Store with his incredible Mac Email client, Sparrow App. The email application is called the perfect desktop translation of Gmail: simple, powerful, and beautiful.
I’ve been a beta tester of Sparrow for a few months now and I’m blown away by the quality and attention to detail. It is truly a world class application. I’m not the only one that thinks so. Sparrow is receiving accolade from the toughest critics, including Daring Fireball, John Gruber. Gruber, a notoriously tough critic and semi-diety in the Mac world, calls Sparrow “the most interesting new Mac email client in at least a decade.”
Hoa is no stranger software; he is a former Apple and Amazon employee. The man clearly has the talent and passion for his craft. Thanks for showing the world Vietnamese people are capable of world-class innovation.

I’d be interested in an iPod Touch version.
I would too. But I don’t think Apple will allow it.
