Really? You've never had anyone send a picture or video to your phone?
Maybe it's that I live in southern Georgia (though in a city of 77k) but I tried explaining to people a few times that "if you're going to send a picture or video, send it to my email." The reply was usually the same, and hostile.
"I don't know how to send things to email on my phone!"
"You just type in my email. Or choose it from the contact list you chose my number from."
"Nevermind. I don't know why you have to make it complicated." And this is from 26 year olds who grew up with computers and use them daily.
- dylanvee 14y agoI could make myself remember to special-case you fairly easily, but I really don't want to have to special-case anyone. That's why I love iMessage--it's a progressive enhancement, not a separate app. When that breaks down, like when I can't fall back to SMS when sending from my Mac, I get annoyed.
- jeffool 14y agoAbsolutely; I wouldn't WANT anyone to have to special case me. It's silly, and no one should have to. That's why I think Google (and anyone wants to get into the phone-number game) should be handling that behind the scenes like I presume Apple's iMessages does.
