I _love_ the ball-bearing inbox and the way that a message from your
g/f might have a different timbre from one from your bank. That feels
VERY innovative to me, and more than compensates for the stupid name
(Shroogle? WTF?) and the dull video.
In a fair chunk of Scotland, including Glasgow where the code was
written,
shoogle means shake. Giving the phone a shoogle to find out if you
had any
messages would make perfect sense. I say this as an englishman who
occasionally travels north of the border, so the details may be
wrong :-)
Ah! I'm enlightened! They should've had a sassy Glaswegian explaining
this at the beginning of the video: "Gie' it a shoogle, ken!"
