If you tend to send a lot of text messages, you might have contemplated that it often would be much easier to type and send these messages from your computer instead. Even with intuitive predications, hardware QWERTYs, spell corrections, word completions, T9 and Swype, it’s still faster and more convenient to type with a full-size keyboard than with a phone – especially if you’re already sitting in front of your computer.
An app that lets you send and receive text messages on your PC is Texdro. The utility enables you to get notifications on your computer, sort of like an instant messenger, when you receive an SMS on your phone. You can then reply to the message and view conversations directly from your computer.
Texdro consists of two free apps: one for your phone, and one for your computer. The desktop application is platform independent, and it’s using your Wi-Fi connection (network traffic is encrypted) to work its magic. There’s a Pro version of the desktop app for $2.99 with additional features, such as support for USB and Bluetooth connections. Should you want to give Texdro a try and start texting to your heart’s content, follow the links below.

If you feel like taking desktop notifications and Android <-> PC communication one step further, you should really check out these two projects as well: Droid2Desk and Android Notifier.

Or you could use google voice for free.
Google Voice is great, but it's currently only available in the US and Androinica has readers from all over the world
Touche. Didn't know that re: google voice.
I currently reside in Bayern and we have no Google Voice here.
That's correct! I currently reside in Bayern (Bavaria) and we have no Google Voice here. Guess it will come later rather than sooner.
Love the Texdro. Droid2Desk not working on my G1.
You can send from your desktop with Microsoft Outlook or Excel with http://www.redoxygen.com and it is built into Office 2010 and 2007, so you can use your existing Microsoft Outlook contacts. With OMS, you dont install anything on the desktop!
You can call someone and TALK to them. I know this is very 80s, but it works
It's fast, it's usefull, it saves me a lot of time. It crashes oftenly, but still I can't imagine not running it on my phone. Keep up the good work.
Microsoft then moved to combine their consumer and business operating systems with Windows XP that was released on October 25, 2001. It came both in home and professional versions (and later niche market versions for tablet PCs and media centers); they also diverged release schedules for server operating systems.
Juniors may also be honored, but would be called "Prom Prince" or "Prom Princess". Other students may be honored with inclusion in a "Prom Court".
