Apple thinks that if you have some unread messages from a person you are about to contact (call or send a message to him), you might want to at least look at them before initiating contact. And that’s exactly what this app does – compares your unread messages, e-mails, voicemails, etc; to the info of a person you are about to contact and informs you if you have some unread messages from him sitting on your phone.

In addition to checking the contact info, the message app can also check for certain keywords – e.g. the name of a project you are writing about and alert that you have some unread messages relating to it.

From the article, Next in your iPhone OS: live object identification, face recognition, text filtering, smarter messaging, voice alteration discussing some of the patents Apple has filed.

I love the idea of displaying unread messages, e-mails, voicemails, etc; of the person you are about to contact. This kinda sorta reminds me a bit of using Google Chat – are you about to send an email to someone? Let’s see if they’re online and maybe you can chat with them instead.
