include info re: transport links (air, tube, traffic) mentioned in the email
Give up to date information about any transportation links mentioned in the email. PUBLIC TRANSPORT - if someone mentions "take the Picadilly line" then pull the current status of that tube line, plus any planned service at future dates (would be really cool to auto-detect any dates mentioned in the email). AIR TRAVEL - pull current flight status of mentioned flight numbers, and traffic delays and weather around mentioned airports. Pull terminal info for mentioned airlines in the closest couple of airports to the user's IP address. ROAD - If someone says "take the 405 south to Long Beach" then display current webcam and traffic reports, plus drive times for any driving instructions, and (wow!) alternative routes. Would be super cool if there were a 'speak this' button (for iphone/ipad access on the run), and a "send to garmin" button for upload GPS nav info.

Thanks Caneel, that’s a really intriguing idea! We’re currently focussed on helping people develop better relationships, so it will be a while until we can look at extra contextual information like this (unless somebody in our developer community takes a look).
