Sometimes on has to say “DUH”. Of course you want to manage your  
message store and treat voice messages no differently from email and  
other messages in your message store. It’s has also been obvious for  
decades that you want to use a smart surface with feedback. Might as  
well look at MMS and, for that matter, Bluetooth, to see the result  
of absolute power and design by committee.



The problem with voice mail is not the user interface – it’s the fact  
that all we get is the user interface and we don’t have access to an  
API that allows us to implement our own interfaces and management  
tools. This is the façade problem – we tend to confuse the façade for  
the real thing.



This is why I’ve complained in the past about the attempts to ban  
cell phones on airplanes – the social agenda denies us the underlying  
technology.



Today we talk about broadband competition because we’ve managed to  
use that problematic transport as a path for Internet packets. People  
now think that we have the Internet because of not despite broadband  
and the FCC is complicit in this delusion.



Some people even think that only a phone company can make a phone call.



Maybe the iPod/iPhone is the perfect product for those who don’t want  
to know they should be able to do it themselves -- http://

Did Apple swipe "Visual Voicemail," too?

We're guessing not, but El Reg has a piece up squarely accusing Apple  
of another swipe, this time of the term "Visual Voicemail" to  
describe the iPhone's voicemail UI. Visual Voicemail, which is owned  
by Citrix and originally developed by Net6, has been around for years  
and may (or may not) be what's powering Apple and Cingular's solution  
for the common problem of having to wait through all the voicemail  
you don't want just to hear the voicemail you do. And "Visual  
Voicemail" is, in fact, capitalized on Apple's site, meaning if legit  
usage of the term or licensed software isn't in the cards, Apple  
could soon find itself in two simultaneous pots of hot water.
