saw these guys at CES, tried the app and loved it. Now have it installed on my work desktop and use it every day. Going out of the country later this month and think this is the perfect way to keep in constant contact with everyone back in the states without getting a global phone.

Sounds very Similar to what 3Jam Supertext does. They have a downloadable client as well and it is awesome. It is a step above what Gmail SMS just started doing since 3jam will send the message to your phone when you are away from your computer. I love. Its awesome

Google just came out with their version of the service in October and I think Yahoo acquired Zimbra recently to add the similiar functionality. I think what it comes down to is convenience, no need to login to a website, just click the icon on your desktop and cherp away! That’s what I liked about it.

Like others have pointed out, this technology has been around for years. In fact, in Singapore you can go directly to the phone carrier’s websites and bring up a chat window that allows you to SMS chat with a mobile user. I have often wondered why US carriers don’t do this as well especially since they make almost pure profit from their overprices SMS rates.

I don’t get this – you can do this from Yahoo! IM client – and may other places… what’s the big deal?

The white labeling part sounds most interesting, they could be on to something there.

Man your up kinda late finding news. Looks like a pretty good idea. Don’t ever text though, waste of money imo.

Texting costs have to go down. I’ve got plenty of friends who wouldn’t want me to chat with them if it meant receiving a mountain of texts.

I’m going to need to get unlimited texting too.

Looks like a pretty awesome service. I should really increase the amount of text messages I get with my plan.
