New “RankingEngine”
This is the bit that counts the SMSs in your inbox; it is in fact the brains behind the application. I rewrote the RankingEngine so that it would:

• Constantly monitor for in coming and out going emails
• Allow me to read message contacts
• Create list of messages assigned to a user
• New file storage system for storing TextQuick application state
• TextQuick standard interface

Main Screen
I have updated the standard interface (this is the list of contacts). I changed the UI slightly to make space for additional text messages – I made the title bar smaller.

TextQuick now includes Venus and the Mind-Flip Kernel
I created a graphics engine which provides animation and event handling. This is used to provide further UI improvements including the following.

Message Stream View
From the main TextQuick standard interface, just press the joystick / direction button to the right. The current screen will scroll off to the left showing you a list of messages sent to and from that contact. You can scroll this by moving up and down. You can even forward a message, just use the “Options” menu.

New Message Popup
By default TextQuick runs in the background the entire time. When running if an SMS arrives TextQuick will jump into the foreground and display the message to you. From this screen you can either reply or ignore the message. If the message is from someone in your address book TextQuick will give you the option to jump to the message screen, allowing you to put the message into context.
