Agreed ;-) I argued that SMS would be dead by 2008. That certainly hasn't happened yet, but it's on its way with the iPhone, particularly in Canada and other countries where SMS charges are high and getting more expensive, and data charges are trending towards low capped limits.That may be true of North America, but y'all never really got into the whole SMS thing. Take a look at Australia or New Zealand where text messages have replaced phone calls between friends in many instances and data costs more than its worth (there is *no* such thing as unlimited data or even cheap data in Australia - certainly not over mobile). Or some parts of Africa where folks don't own chargers, just phones - to preserve battery life they leave their phones off and only turn them on periodically to check for texts and reply. Whether SMS is relevant to this discussion is a different matter, but SMS isn't going anywhere for a long time.
Agreed. That and it's a $100 billion a year money-maker for the telcos. SMS is here to stay.
But what the heck is this thread about anyway? I don't see a problem for us to solve here, but maybe I'm missing something. :)
