"I want emails to popup on my phone just like SMS does."
My first thought was, "Really? I would hate that." But I think it could be great as long as there is an easy way to limit the notifications to only show emails from certain people, with certain labels, etc.
The idea of arriving at a restaurant and emailing my friends to ask where they are is appealing, because it's a move in the direction of a single communication address for a person. I don't like needing to store both a phone number and an email address for someone. How FaceTime for the new iPhone places calls is nice for this reason as well.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoEmailing them to find out where they are? Your respective phones should have determined that you're meeting each other due to a calendar meeting, shared your locations, notified you that the other person is half a mile away and will arrive in 10 minutes and told the other person that you've already arrived and are waiting.
- mryall 16y agoInteresting idea, but that would be too much of an invasion of privacy for my taste. It's one thing to tell someone where you are when they call (or email), but a completely different thing for your phone to update someone on your exact location just because you're meeting with them.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoTrue, but meeting events can have optional parameters. Location sharing could be added. [x] Share my location with other attendees during this event.
