Of Note

Steve Jobs is listed as an inventor on the voicemail patent, 7,996,792:

1. A method, comprising: at a portable electronic device with a touch screen display:

• displaying a list of voicemail messages;
• detecting selection by a user of a respective voicemail message in the list;
• responding to the user selection of the respective voicemail message by initiating playback of the user-selected voicemail message;
• detecting a finger contact with a progress bar on the touch screen display, 
  • the progress bar configured to slide in a first direction on the touch screen display;
• detecting continuous movement of the finger contact on the touch screen display from the progress bar to a location other than the progress bar,
  • wherein the continuous movement of the finger contact on the touch screen display has a component parallel to the first direction and a component perpendicular to the first direction;
• in response to the detected continuous movement, sliding the progress bar in accordance with the component of the movement of the finger contact that is parallel to the first direction; and
• restarting playback of the user-selected voicemail message at a position within the user-selected voicemail message corresponding to the position of the slid progress bar.
