// My idea is to have all phone manufactures put this as a pre installed feature. // |

It's a great idea, and it won't happen, for - as you point out - the service providers make money from the voicemail service. |

If a handset manufacturer offered this, the networks wouldn't offer those handsets to their clients, which is a primary route for handset sales. |
|
|
What a cynical and exploitative world it is .... |
|
|
so, will open handsets platforms like android let people release software like this independent of the handset manufacturers or network operators? |
|
|
i'm pretty sure java phones wouldn't let you write stuff like that? or with some hacking could you? |
|

I'm fairly sure that the way phones are going, you will be able to install plugins like this to most platforms soon. And in an easy, user friendly, you-don't-need-to-be-a-geek sort of a way. Letting phones run software will pretty much take the OS design out of the manufacturers hands. |

Well most cell platforms have API's people can program for. Apple, RIM, Android phones.
I had a great software which ran on my Nokia 7610 (Symbian OS) which did all the tasks i mentioned above and more. |

I am quite surprised why the app stores don't have such programs. |
