Check discreetly for new mail or SMS, without watching.
And forward your incoming SMS to a Mail account!
You're device is in silent mode (and it's impossible or impolite to look at the display)? But you still want to check if there is at least one new mail or short message? Or you're not sure whether you've missed a notification?
With "New News?" just raise your smartphone a bit (30°) and the weak vibration in your hand tells you (and only you!) if it's time to make a break...

My problems with B4A/Android:
It's impossible (at least I haven't found any solution) to receive an intent for new mails. Therefor the service uses POP3 every 5 minutes.
In sleep mode it's impossible to note any movement of the device. Therefor the service runs in PartialLock-mode.
Any ideas for new features?
I already think about some more options:
- orientation threshold (currently 30°)
- mail-check-intervall (currently every 5 minutes),
- vibration-idle (currently 30 seconds)
- and -duration (currently 1 second when there are New News)
- checking only for mail or SMS (currently both)
- different signals (vibration, sound, flash light) for SMS and mail
- special signals for specific senders
- ...
