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.
Google Voice!
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.
If all you want to do is be notified of events that are happening on your phone (sms, calls) you can use http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier/ It even shows you the phone number and in the case of sms, the contents.
I like responding through my computer though :)
This gets confusing, as the sent items are shown correctly in Android Messaging, but the messages are not delivered.
Also: Please add support for delivery reports.

Seems to be stripping phone numbers and thus fails to send anything when I select a number from my contacts. I am in Finland and numbers look like +3584012345678, but the text gets sent to 584012345678.

We are iterating on the Chrome Extension daily as we launch features and encounter bugs like this.
I've used this combination for some time, and been quite satisfied with it. The only issue I've had, is that the GTalkSMS app steals alot of resources while running on my android phone. I hope this is not the case with Texty.

This service, along with other interactive features, can be realized trough GTalkSMS, a jabber account and an IM client e.g. Pidgin.

Like Growl, but also lets you click reply and respond to the SMS as well.
It's just easy and works.

A feature I really like in Texty is the Desktop Notifications. Like Growl, but also lets you click reply and respond to the SMS as well. It's just easy and works.
I really like the UI of texty, e.g. threaded conversations. That is, as far as i know, not possible with GTalkSMS.
Overall, any seamless interaction with my phone from my desktop is greatly appreciated.
i am stuck at 2.1 but so want to use this.
