iOS apps would be awesome since I think that is where email is still suffering the most and where seeing the most important/relevant messages first matters most.
I sent a note via the website about parsing Amazon delivery notes for shipment tracking numbers, then pulling in delivery dates via FedEx/UPS etc APIs and displaying it inline in the message list (maybe even optionally in a sidebar widget, list my currently in-transit Amazon receipts).
I think that could be really interesting, and similar concepts applied to various services/notification emails.
Thanks for the feedback! We think that'd be an awesome feature as well. We've been looking into parsing automated emails from common senders (ie. amazon, twitter, etc) to display them in a more appropriate and useful manner, similar to what you've described.
I do not know whether it is your sarcasm, your lack of sarcasm or, indeed, the lack of clarity with regards to any sarcasm that has offended people, but—I suspect that you would not have been down voted if you had used the word "Incredible".
I did not find this article hard to believe; nor was it so-extraordinary-as-to-seem-impossible. While both reactions might have been experienced first-hand had it been shown to a pre-iPhone self, I have experienced this gradual revolution first hand—over a period of four years.
These photographs were interesting and informative. The progression of camera quality and the extrapolation of future camera quality (that I found hard not to make) was Illuminating.
I could not have drawn these conclusions had the site and the photographs not been totally credible.
