Slick new SMS app

[1up5dn]

Check out this new SMS app that was posted on Droid-Life. I don't know that I will ever get much use out of it on a day-to-day basis, but it's pretty fun to show to non-smartphone users!

See it here

HAHA! That is awesome! Agreed though, just use it to show off.

 

[Steven58]

neat-o! I d/l'd and will start it tomorrow! ty! gnite!

 

[Vihzel]

I'll definitely download this. I'd assume though that it would really drain battery since the camera has to be on.

 

[Jake43]

Thought of a better use! Watching tv while texting. This way you can still keep watching!

I tried this out at the office. It was pretty difficult to text, walk, and see where you're going all at the same time lol. I normally type with the camera facing the floor but I tried it with it facing right in front of me. It made it tougher to text haha.

Also, for our Droid X's, the camera is basically where our left hand would be. You have to position it correctly so you don't block the camera.

i grabbing this ASAP

To be showing off i would be using my speech to text and not even have to look at it except to send it. though this would be cool to just mess around with.

 

[Booya]

Hahahaha I have to try that one out once my phone shows up.

I really hated the keyboard layout (the space key, etc)...

 

[Steven58]

What's the point of it?

What's the point of it?

Being able to text while walking in the street without tripping over something

It was taken from Samsung Galaxy S.

Downloaded and installed. I won't use it but it'll definitely be a cool app to show off my phone, haha.

...or someone. Seriously, nothing pisses me off more when I'm walking down the street and some moron budges into me because he's too busy texting/surfing on his phone rather tha nyou know...actually seeing where he's going.

Going to load this app up and try it out. Thanks OP.

Agreed, that drives me nuts! I've started aiming for them...

 

[Steven58]

meh. but what do I know?

 

[irishpride]

It's crazy slow, choppy and puts a horrible image on the screen, it's kind of cool though!

 

[Steven58]

deleted it.

I would recomend not installing this...I dont have a rooted phone and maybe it was just my phone, but after I installed it and ran it and then closed it..every screen on my phone had a black square covering about 3/4ths of it. I tried ATK to kill everything but it didnt work. I managed to uninstall it and the black square was still there. I rebooted my phone and it was fixed...but that was scary enough for me to almost cry. just kidding but yeah.

 

[Roxors]

sooo yeah i didn't even want to try it out... glad i chose that path

That's strange. I would have to say it was just your phone. It didn't do anything abnormal on mine and I've not heard anyone else say anything about it.

You aren't missing much, it's just a novelty app that is fun to show people.

If you see 'em coming you need to time it so that you step, lunge and thrust your shoulder into theirs. Give 'em a good whack. Then if they say something, just say "sorry I didn't see you were busy texting. Next time I'll make sure to yield the right of way!" If they don't get the hint that you just told them that they are a moron for complaining about it, they never will.

 

[Wolfedude88]

Yeah nothing strange has happened with my phone since installing either. I will delete it eventually, just want to show a few more people first.

Same thing happened to mine, had to reboot inorder to get the black part to come back to life. Even when I had it installed, it wouldn't do any thing, tried to type, but nothing, so never did actually work except for putting a permanent screen saver on part of the screen.
