option to either read or save for later the sms

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When a sms arrives you are given the option for it to be read or saved for 
later. Useful if clients are in the car and my wife is texting me a shopping 
list. Or my children are in the car and I know the text has a rude joke on it.

I have given this more thought.  I do not support any app that may cause driver 
distraction.  Adding a feature like this would cause the driver to have to look 
at the device screen which is very distracting and dangerous.  I suggest you do 
not enable the text reading feature in a car where reading the text could be a 
problem.  The texts are always saved naturally by the SMS system so nothing is 
needed in this app for that.

Hi Jim. I think that decision is a mistake. It wouldn't be a distraction, in 
fact, quite the opposite. It would allow the driver to not look away from the 
road and if required, reply to urgent texts. Ok I have to respect your 
decision. Unfortunately this is a feature I need so I will have to look 
elsewhere. Good luck with the development.

No text is urgent enough to require your attention while driving.  You risk not 
only your life but the lives of others around you.  Watch the movie 7 Pounds.  
Driver distraction is becoming a very significant percentage of all car 
accidents, and more importantly fatalities.  Texting while driving is illegal 
in many places and hopefully it will be illegal all over very soon for very 
good reasons.
