Better iPhone Notifications (again)
/ 08.Sep.2009
I recently wrote about how the iPhone needs a better system for sending and viewing push notifications. My proposed system wasn’t a stretch at all, but it would take a little bit more work.. What if we got a very incremental update to the whole system first which would give Apple time to flesh out a great system for 4.0? My idea is dead simple (and I’m sure it’s been mentioned and thought about many times already).. Push Notifications seem to carry a lot of similarities to that of a Text Message.. Why doesn’t the iPhone just treat them as such and create a new Text Message in the Messages app for each app that’s sending push notifications? That’s all I got. Maybe include a little arrow on the right of each message to launch that app and see the notification in more detail. That’s all I got. I think it would be an easy to implement solution for the short term while they work on that huge location aware social steam thing we all read about quite a while ago.
