This looks really sweet. Just the other day I was asking for an easy way to send text messages from my computer rather than having to grab my phone.
I've been using Deskdroid for this purpose. Works pretty well. http://deskdroid.com
I don't have to be in an app to get these notifications - as long as chrome is running, I get these notifications, whether my active window is chrome.
Does Deskdroid do this too?
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!
In an ideal world we should strive for something better.
I get a LOT of SMS messages, so this is a hugely useful application for me. I actually switched to Android just to get access to the EasySMS app--from Maemo/N900.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
You should try this out for a few hours and see the difference. 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.
I don't have an "actual texting stream". My texting is all 100% free and through my Google Voice number. Google Voice offers me more features than this application can by the very nature of how it works.
