This was a fascinating read! I'm always impressed when technologists are so smart to leverage established protocols, systems, and/or technology to create seemingly new offerings. Visual voicemail - being a much newer offering than email - gets to be sold as a newer service, but really is just an adjusted process/flow for the very-well-established (like several decades old) technology that is the email system (IMAP, SMTP, etc.). Although i do wish we as mobile customers were allowed to play with some of these underlying features directly ourselves...like with a proper API, etc. In any case, this was a fun post!
