This is almost -exactly- what I need. What would make it -killer- is a client app for my Xoom honeycomb tablet in addition to the chrome extension. If I could respond to texts received on my phone without having to put away my tablet, that would be amazing.

What is the difference between this and the google voice extension ( https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/kcnhkahnjcbndmme... )?
Am I missing something? Why not just use Google Voice?
2. The screenshot, and this is as politely as I can put it, makes the app look quite unfinished.

Because everybody I know has my real phone number.
If that is indeed the only thing stopping you from using it, you can port your existing number to Google Voice. http://googlevoiceblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/port-your-existi...
Often I have wished my texts would show up on my computer screen. Texty does just that. I've been using it for a few weeks and it's totally awesome. It's threaded, syncs with my phone, and is essentially instantaneous. Honestly one of the few killer apps for Android.
It even shows you the phone number and in the case of sms, the contents.

We built this because our experience with Google Voice was awkward. Having multiple phone #'s didn't work for us. This basically mirrors the SMS activity/stream on your phone, onto a Chrome extension.
If you're using multiple numbers with Google Voice, you're doing it wrong and missing the entire point. "Mirroring SMS conversation in a chrome extension" is precisely what Google Voice does. I can receive and reply to texts from any keyboard with a keyboard, or from my phone if I'm AFK.
Just the fact that it gives you HTML5 Desktop Notifications with easy way to reply, and syncs with your actual texting stream on your phone (not GV) makes it worth looking at.
