I've long wondered why it was never possible to send SMSs through the PC via ActiveSync. It seems such a logical extension to the syncing of emails. and the SMS interface is so tied to the Email one that it just looks like they should be treated in the same way.

I know it's because no-one in business uses SMS, but I've spoken to a fair few people who seem to want that feature anyway. Perhaps some people in business do want that feature?

I know that's not really the point of this tech, but I'm struggling to find any other realistic use for it.

I conclude, after a good long hard think, that that is the most useless thing I've heard of all year.

I can just imagine some Dilbert like scene:

Manager: "Guys, we've got this great idea. We want you to write an application that lets you do everything on your phone, on your phone. But using a PC. How frikken cool is that?"

Programmers: "Oh for fuck sake..."

My coat (I'm sorry Miss Bee, I know these get on your nerves, very sorry) has a Nokia 6310i in it, and works great thanks very much :-)

I was going to sing the virtues of My Mobiler but I see someone's already done it. It's a great little app that's incredibly handy for banging out texts and such on a fullsize keyboard. Highly recommended.

Three years ago, some clever techie at our company rigged our Lotus Notes to send SMSs with the text (and everything else) in the mail title. I tried it once.

Bit of a shame that really, otherwise a neat little app

We're getting close to having mobile phones so powerful(imo we already do) that they can replace PC's. This is a step closer to just having to own one electronic device that does it all.
