iPhone single inbox?


Dear Cupertino,

I love my iPhone. I love my Mail, I love my MobileMe (yes, I said that). However, I have 3 different email accounts on my iPhone that I have to check consistently. So here's my request. Please make a single Inbox. One Inbox for all accounts, just like in Mail.app so I can read and respond to all email all at once without having to constantly switch between email accounts on the iPhone.

You know, this is a short one, but a good one, and I'd like to see it just to save some time. That's be great.

Thanks!

Personal Domain, let's get full about it

Dear Cupertino,

I love MobileMe. I love how it pushes everything between my Mac, my PC and my iPhone. I love how the me.com website look and feels. But I don't use it. At least not my mail.
Why? Well, as many fellow geeks, I own a personal domain and have me and my family's mail-addresses there. And there is no easy way to use it with MobileMe. I can forward my mail to MobileMe, but I can't send it from MobileMe's servers. I can set up a different account and send it from my ISP's SMTP-servers. That, besides from being clumsy, won't work when I am, for example, visiting a friend using another ISP.
Why doesn't Apple allow this? I can point (using CNAME) my domain name to me.com and use MobileMe to host my website. Why can't I point my MX record, or maybe just forward my mails and use a SPF record in a TXT string? Come on Apple...

More iPhone Please?

Dear Cupertino,

We had a bit of a rant awhile ago about Syncing To-Do's and what not.  While Omnifocus pretty much takes care of that, there is one more issue that does need addressing.  Notes.

Seriously.  You have this great Note interface in Mail.app, and you also have this great Notes app on the iPhone.  They walk alike they talk alike, they even have the same Marker font.

Hows about we chuck some kind of magic syncing action between the two devices?  Notes!

Now, I refuse to believe that you would let something slide like that, so I assume that you have something up your sleeve.  I asked for OTA Calendar syncing, Mail push, and Contact syncing awhile back, and you built MobileMe, which is a complete overhaul of the .mac system in order to be able to accomodate these features.  So I refuse to believe that you would let To-Do's and Notes not sync.  So what do you have up your sleeve?

Thanks!

Me.com licensing




Dear Cupertino,

Check this out, here's a thought, instead of charging one fee for every piece of software, how about, for those people who are MobileMe customers, allow us to buy software per account?

Meaning that I can not only buy Apple Software and download it through my MobileMe account, but it's also licensed that way.  So I can have a certain piece of software on every computer that belongs to my MobileMe account?  So I can buy a MobileMe licensed version of iLife, and not 10 different copies.  Or iWork maybe?

All I'm saying is that, why do I need to make a trip to the store, and make you waste all kinds of packaging, paper, trees, gas, time, etc..  When I can just download an app straight from Apple.com, and then deploy it to all of 'my computers'?

Thanks!
