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:// www.theroyalwe.org/1984.html or http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=TUl1DFBKdv8

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/ Did Apple swipe "Visual Voicemail," too? Posted Jan 14th 2007 1:33AM by Ryan Block Filed under: AppleWe'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.
