How to text without a cell phone
Interesting article under CNET's news section. There is an app that will now allow Ipod Touch (not phone) users to text from their touch to any other phone. They get assigned their own phone number and the texting is free. In the last couple of months they have given out 1.6 million "phone numbers" to these text only devices.I knew texting was popular among teens, especially young teens, but this seems to take it to an entirely new level. The company who makes this is also looking at a text to voice feature that will allow you to text a message and have it ring to a regular phone.
I love how technology keeps getting more and more interesting.
This reminds me a bit of Google Voice, who also has been giving out free phone numbers.
