Btw, sounds like you need to upgrade your phones OS, as Apple improved the notification system.

Yeah, life is full of distractions, but for many people, such as myself, out of sight out of mind. I have my phone in my pocket, but I'm not thinking about it unless it is actively trying to grab my attention. If I am reading on my phone, I'm much more likely to see the even minimally invasive visual alerts. Do you see the blinking LED on your phone if it is in your pocket? Do you see it, when it is right in your hand, and you're staring at the phone?
Plus, I'm just an old *nix user, who believes in the addage, do one thing and do it well.
