That was part of the plan. User send a message "8:30PM call me: You look handsome today." to the bot then later you will receive a call from the bot. It is like a command-line alarm on IM.

I have developed a similar app before. Users can set up reminders through a message to a bot on AIM, gchat, MSN ... Then later they will receive a reminder message from the bot.

jaylinon how to optimized images to make it sharp on ipad3?

The simplest answer is just to double the dimensions of the image then use CSS to make it the right size.

So if you want to create an HD image at 200 x 200 on a Retina display, create the image at 400 x 400 then use CSS to control the HD image down to 200 x 200: img { width:200px; height:200px; }.

The HD images are still 72 dpi resolution.

The tricky part is then preventing non-HD devices from unnecessarily downloading the larger images.
