Did you know that there’s an app for text messaging from your iPod Touch? Yep, there is and it’s free!

“Holy messages, Batman!”

The app, called “TextPlus,” allows you to text message for free from either the iPhone or iPod Touch. You don’t even need a phone plan.

Note that “all messages are free” refers to TextPlus to TextPlus messages, or TextPlus to another phone. Text messages sent to your friends’ phones require that your friends, of course, have a texting plan. Also, text message forwarding to your own phone, same goes on your end. But if you’re just using your iPod Touch over WiFi, it’s all free, baby!

The application is ad supported; this is how they can offer the service for free. The ap is also free. I just recently tried it, and it works great. I love the “conversation” type view (similar to what you would see in iChat for those of you familiar with this application for the Mac). There is also an option for group chats . . . nice! The ad system is done very well, and is completely unobtrusive.
