Steve Jobs Says Yes to Universal Email Inbox for the iPhone OS 4.0
The iPhone OS 4.0 gets a confirmed universal email inbox system from none other than the world-famous Apple CEO, Steve Jobs. The feature has long been the request of many iPhone operating system fans and has been a frequent request since its initial launch.
The email came from Julio Rodriguez. He asked whether the new iPhone operating system would sport something close to the Android’s universal mailbox to help manage several email accounts at the same time without being required to log off and switch between them. This is an excerpt from his email:
“…anyway, I just have one question for you; will iPhone ever have a universal mailbox just like Mail has on my Mac? It would be so much easier and efficient.”
The answer he got from Steve Jobs was a simple “Yep” from his iPad which probably indicates that the system will be available in the 4.0 version of the iPhone operating system. Rumors about the iPhone OS version 4.0 features are plenty. Theories of included features involve a multitasking feature and a means to automatically add related contacts.
The reply is a good sign indeed. Apple has been known to slowly improve their services based on user requests and common issues. One example is the copy and paste function that was given as an update last year. Is this a hoax? Steve Jobs does have the habit of occasionally replying to mail sent trough his official email address (steve@apple.com).
He may have sent the reply to finally assure the fans and have them quiet down about the issue. Even though very little information about the next generation of iPhone’s features is known at this point, some specs may be released soon because Steve Jobs just gave his employees a briefing about it after the iPad reveal last January.
