Now Peek have responded by adding SMS compatibility, together with [...]
Jean Louis Frechin, who designed the strange chronopictographic digital photo frames, also has an idea of what you could keep your WiFi picture viewer on. His bendy WaSnake shelving doesn’t just stop at holding up the odd vase, though; it’s a clever display in its own right. Colored LEDs and optical fibres fill blocks periodically along the [...]
This nifty little arm mounted SMS device could be the thing that saves your life if you find yourself caught underwater with a lack of Oxygen or coming up too fast. Also, when it’s not being used to bring those capable to your rescue, you can just use it communicate with the rest of your [...]

So this isn’t really new technology, or even and entirely new concept, however most companies that tried it previously had it as their main feature, whereas for Yahoo it is just an added bonus. Previous iterations of such a service either failed miserably, or began charging money, not this one, its completely free.
In my day job we’ve got one of those infernal text-messaging systems where people can send in their suggestions and queries for us to ponder over.

Have you got dynamic digits? Are your fingers faster than the proverbial speeding bullet?
