No joke. This is what sets android apart from all of the other mobile phone Operating systems. This is a must have feature if you forget your phone at home like me. Personally I dont like having my 4.3in Droid X in my pocket all the time, this app allows me to remotely send texts to people WITH MY OWN NUMBER. The only place you could improve is in google voice support. If it is at all possible you should add support to forward texts to google voice while replying with my Verizon number not g voice number.

Ok

Having problems with the 2 check boxes. They will either stay checked all the time or they will not check at all. This occurred when the UI changed.

Really useful.

This has great potential but as already mentioned it becomes redundant. To be perfect it needs two things. 1. If GTalk were to somehow incorporate all the contacts already and sync it in, so I would not have to add friends each time. 2. If this were to replace the text messaging to Gtalk bypassing text messaging completely so you don't have to pay the ridiculous carrier fees this would be awesome. Ergo 4 starts, because it is an awesome app but not perfect.
