Vietnam Talking Points

The Pulse on Vietnam

Hoa Dinh Viet’s Email App, Sparrow, Tops Apple Mac App Store

February 9, 2011 by James Bao 2 Comments

SPARROW APP

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.
