iPhone Tip: How to Handle Incoming Messages

Here's a great app for replying to text messages ... without exiting the current app that you're in!

It's amazing how I often I get text messages while reading an article in in ByLine (my favorite RSS reader).  Usually, the following occurs when I click on the "Reply" button:


1. The iPhone exits whatever application you're in.
2. Your SMS client is opened.
3. You reply to the text message.
4. You exit the SMS client.
5. You relaunch the app that you were using.

This may not be a inconvenience to those on the speedy 3GS, but my 3G is slow to exit/restart an app and it is not an efficient "work-flow". Imagine my surprise when this app landed in my rss reader: "Quick Reply for SMS"

It allows you to reply to a text message ... get this ... WITHOUT exiting your current application!  Crazy, I know!

Here's a link to the article: http://tysiphonehelp.com/?p=424

Here is an example of the App in action, where I am in the middle of browsing articles in ByLine:

1. Melissa sends me a message

Unknownname


2. I reply to the message, WITHOUT exiting my app

0unknownname

3. I return to my reading (with no app opening/closing fussiness)

1unknownname
