A portable electronic device (300) having a message service application (303) for rapidly completing asynchronous messages is provided. The message service application (303) is configured to present partially completed message service messages (601) on a display (307) of the portable electronic device (300) to a user. The partially completed message service messages (601) include a plurality of populated segments (602,603) and a plurality of tab accessible fields (604,605,606,607). The plurality of tab accessible fields (604,605,606,607) is interlaced among the populated segments (602,603). By actuating a tab key (306), a user may jump from tab accessible field to tab accessible field, populating each field rather than completely composing an original message. The tab accessible fields (604,605,606,607) may be populated with text, pictures, video, or audio. The user may populate the tab accessible fields (604,605,606,607) either by a user interface (304) or by way of a data retrieval module (314) that retrieves objects for insertion from memory (302).
