Nonsense. Not only is that patently untrue, it's also *not* a benefit. So you still haven't answered the question. > So with the phone always at your side or on your body, whether > it is asleep or not is irrelevant. Bullshit. It's entirely relevant. If I'm not using my phone, and am using another device, the entire *point* of Text Message Forwarding is that I should see the SMS message on the device I am using first (as quickly as possible). > And you have not provided any evidence on why an intentional delay is > beneficial. It's not a delay - it's a forwarded message to the device currently in use. You*still* can't answer the simple question of how it would benefit me for my phone that is asleep in the bedroom to display a message *before* displaying it on the iPad I am actually *using* when I am in the living room. You can't answer it because there is no benefit. You and Alan are just being enormous idiots. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
