Have you thought about using a bookmarklet instead of e-mail on the phone?

I've thought about it, but bookmarklets on the iPhone (not sure about android) is exceedingly annoying. Marco Arment (Instapaper founder) wrote about his experience here: http://www.marco.org/2010/10/10/an-open-enhancement-request-...

I built something similar a while back (http://pagestackandroid.appspot.com/ if you're curious), for iOS I found that the easiest way to set up bookmarklets is to add them on the desktop (Safari or IE) and then sync to the phone. At the time bookmarklets didn't work on Android so we ended up making a native app (I think you have to register for the "share text" intent, it's been a while).

Whoa, that looks awesome (and really good looking). Thanks for the tip :)
