Several people have mentioned the problem of receiving email in remote areas,
e.g. via an iPhone, etc. I'm wondering how important this is to most people.
If you're in a remote area, are you going to be willing to drop everything and
go somewhere to see a bird somewhere else?
I would have thought you'd only be interested if the alert was for something
close by (in which case you'd be very annoyed to have been so close but to have
missed it). But what are the chances of that? I'm guessing that usually it
would be ok to wait until you can get email again.
I'm just guessing about this, I'm rarely out of range for long myself,
unfortunately.
