Messaging Under iOS5

mfterka · Sep 11, 2011

It would seem that part of iOS5 will be an Apple Proprietary messaging/email system between Apple devices. Antbody have an idea as to how the "address" is going to be determined? As an iPhone user would I have to log on somewhere and "establish" an address for my device or would that simply come as part of the device itself.

Also, do you think we will be able to look up another user's address? I mean, say you know a friend of yours has an iPad and you want to send him a message. Would there be anyway to "look up" his address?

No PIN's. iMessage can be used with either a valid email address or a phone number.

It's that easy.

It's unfortunate that this won't be cross platform, still very cool though.

You'll be about chat between mac's, iPads and iPhones.
