Dear Apple,

Why is it that when my iPhone is connected to my Mac via USB and a call or SMS arrives, the only interface for taking the call or message is on the tiny screen/keyboard/speaker/mic on the phone, when directly physically connected to the telephone is a computer with a 1920x1200 24" display, full keyboard, and USB stereo headset?

Shouldn't I be able to see who's calling on my screen? Shouldn't I be able to use the BT headset paired to my mac, or my USB headset that's plugged in for Skype? Shouldn't I be able to reply to text messages using my full keyboard?

I mean, hell, if I plug the new iPod shuffle headphones (the ones with the volume control in the cord) into my Mac, I can change my system volume - why is the integration with the telephone features so poor? There's a third party app called BluePhone Elite for OSX that does this perfectly over Bluetooth, but only with non-Apple phones like Motorolas (apparently the iPhone doesn't support the right features for BPE to work with it).

Seriously guys, some basement outfit with a copy of Xcode is beating you at your own game. Get with it.

Love,
Jeffrey Paul

weev, why, oh why did I listen to you and use rhel?
