Solution to notification concerns?

[big9erfan]

I'm pretty terrible with mockups, especially here at home without all my tools, but something like this would allow users to sort things out.



The #s refer to the number of "unread" notifications. Date & time stamps need no explanation. For best usability, I'd think that tapping on the notification would take you to that app and the action that brought up that notification, so for example if you had 3 IMs from 3 different people, they would show up as different notifications, and tapping on one would take you to the IM window of that individual.

Hey big9erfan - those look great. Now can ya program it as well as do the artwork?

@AUDad - Heh. :P

Sounds like a great idea. Can this be done by a dev or Apple would have to implement this?

[big9erfan]

I'm not an iPhone developer unfortunately ( no Mac ) and thus no access to the SDK. Maybe someone in the developer program could dig further, but I'm not sure Apple would give access to full control over the notifications. *shrug* Just coming from someone that develops the SDK for the company he works for.

I would love this feature.

My brother in law and I have a dev account with apple, but he is the programmer. And he is still learning the iPhone programming.

I have little doubt it could be a jailbreak app.
