No, focusing on Apple devices only. Check out WoAD app for Android.

Gotcha. Been wondering about what the client UX would be on those data rate. Perhaps a good start would be to enable relays to exchange data on HF first. What is your approach?

What digital mode are you planning to use over RF?

While RadioMail is primarily focused on portability and despite being designed for iPhone only, almost a quarter of RadioMail usage is on iPads. It does make sense to want to use a larger screen and a keyboard for email management, when available. And by extension, having the ability to run the app on an Apple Silicon Mac seems like a logical step as well.
When more than one device is used by a single account, it becomes critical to be able to synchronize messages across those devices, which has been a frequent request. That will be our next area of focus.
Current thinking is to develop a new version of RadioMail, optimized for devices with larger screens and keyboards like an iPad. This version would include all the current features, plus:
* An interface optimized for iPad screens, featuring a three-column layout similar to Apple Mail.
* Synchronization of messages and settings between the iPhone and iPad versions.
* Compatibility with Apple Silicon Macs, running as an iPad app.
As for a TNC, a version with a built-in 1200 AFSK packet modem is being tested right now. It leverages the DigiRig Lite sound card and DigiRig VOX cable that can be used from iOS. Once that's released, a direct WiFi connection to the IC705 & friends could be considered. However, the lack of documentation for the RS-BA1 protocol make it difficult to predict how robust of a solution can be delivered. https://github.com/nonoo/kappanhang has done a great job making it work, but the amount of "magic numbers" used in the code is somewhat unsettling.

RF tech is everywhere, in your phone, WiFi, etc. Gaining an understanding of how you can use this medium for your own needs is fun. Amateur radio has a strong cultural foundation of DIY. While most people no longer build their own radio, there is a bit of a renaissance with digital natives and makers exploring the digital side of radio comms.
