Would it be crazy or just selfish to ask for a filesystem? I know it won't ever come, but since we're wishing for stuff, I might as well.
This would most definitely make life easier, and better yet, apps would be able to share the files between them, too!Would it be crazy or just selfish to ask for a filesystem? I know it won't ever come, but since we're wishing for stuff, I might as well.
I like your suggestions except i don't think that Message delivery reports to non-iphones is really feasable. Messages sent via SMS or MMS are only delivered as "best effort" by phone cariers and delivery reports is totally carrier dependant. I had this on a nokia and some recipiants carriers would send the report and others not - even carriers that supported it would often fail to report or send a false deliverd report when the SMS was passed to another carrier.1. Support for Message delivery reports to non-iphones.
2. Call filtering will be appreciated.
3. Multiple File attachment feature in email is desired.
4. Sub-folders within a folder.
I've never used biteSMS, but I see countless references and requests for those features within iOS. Maybe Apple will hire the developer and incorporate it into iOS 6. They've done that before, which is better then simply "borrowing it".Next would be something like messages+ or biteSMS that lets you respond to a text without having to leave what you're doing.
I don't use bite, but I use messages+ and it's awesome. Lets say I get a text while typing this, my message banner will stay visible until either I tap it or hit a little black "x" to dismiss it. If I tap on the banner, a semi transparent overlay appears, I can then respond to a text and as soon as I hit send, the overlay disappears and I'm right back to what I was doing, without ever leaving the app I was in.I've never used biteSMS, but I see countless references and requests for those features within iOS.

You know, it's almost getting more awkward and "un-apple-like" the longer they go without including a user-accessible file system. The workarounds one needs to do to handle email attachments and such properly are getting downright kludgey at this point. They're trying to warm up to the corporate market, and this functionality would go a long way towards doing that. They could still keep it simple, but there's just gotta be some stock way to access, organize, and manipulate your files eventually.Would it be crazy or just selfish to ask for a filesystem?

I think message delivery report works. Most carriers support it and this is must as the sent message doesn't mean it's delivered. It might get lost in the network traffic. If delivery reports r feasible among iPhones then why not with non-iphones?I like your suggestions except i don't think that Message delivery reports to non-iphones is really feasable.

It was basically unuusable.
Have him try MailShot.The mail app needs a lot of work. For example, it really needs an easy way to send group emails. I recently switched my 73-yr-old father from an 8-yr-old Windows XP laptop to an iPad. How much did it suck when he called up in a panic, unable to do this simple task for his golf group that comprises approximately 40% of his total computing activities? A lot. Septuagenarians really don't dig "workarounds".
Thanks for the heads-up, but like I said, I know there are workarounds. Just getting him to understand how to use the stock mail app was an entire weekend of lessons. It's just not so simple for older folks.Have him try MailShot.
