Apple's iChat - the text messaging experience is admittedly middle-of- the-road, but the ease of voice and video chat is unparalleled. I hate using Skype for voice chat because iChat is just so much easier. (i.e., it *just works*)
iPhone's SMS - it's my first phone with threaded SMS discussions (I guess others do this, but I've never had one), and it's implementation is a dream. I love tracking conversations. There are some unfortunate drawbacks with iPhone SMS (you can send one text to multiple people is the most egregious), but they are minor compared to the ease and slickness (and I mean that positively) of the experience. Email still seems stuck in the Eudora days. For those who grok Gmail, it seems great, but it's definitely not to all tastes (e.g., mine.) --peter On Oct 10, 2007, at 10:11 AM, Billie Mandel wrote: > To my wise and ever-so-opinionated peers - I need your opinions: > > What are the best/your favorite/the most compelling messaging user > experiences out there today?
