TigerText.com

Let’s take a quick look of how does it works:

1. You, the sender, and the receiver have the TigerText app installed. Yes, both devices must have installed this application; but there’s a free reader option.
2. Before sending the text message, you set the lifespan of the text message, for example 2 hours.
3. If the receiver reads it or not, the message is deleted from the sender and receiver device. There’s also the option for “Delete on Read”, that will last until the receiver opens it.

TigerText works with iPhone, iPod Touch and several BlackBerry devices (beta stage). Here’s the complete list of supported BlackBerry: Bold 9700, Bold 9000, Tour 9630, Curve 8500 & Curve 8900 Series. TigerText does not currently support the Storm, older Curves, Pearl, or other Legacy Blackberry Devices. Android will be available soon.

The only free option for this application is the reader, where you can obviously only read messages sent with TigerText but you don’t have the capability to protect your outgoing SMS. You can acquire the 250 SMS bundle for only U$S1.49 and also you have the unlimited option for U$S2.49.

Oh and in case you were wondering about why the TigerText name; there’s nothing to do with the Tiger Woods incident, the company explained that the name born because “Tigers are notoriously difficult animals to track” (?).

Blipr is a new one that has been thrown into the mix. Basically, it revolves around IM as well as sending sounds and icons to your friends. The app is completely free and here is how it works.

First, you download the app and send an invite to your friends asking them to do the same. You can do this via e-mail but you can also simply enter in your Twitter or Facebook username to send them a message that way. One your friends have the app and you’re all connected to one another you can have conversations in the form of text and sound effects. There is a vast library to choose from including musical instruments, barn yard animals and um… bodily functions.

You can also look back through your conversation history and play the attached sounds too.

This app runs in the background so you can start it up and every time you receive a Blip you’ll be notified without having to keep it running in full-mode. Check out Blipr here.

Remember that movie from the late 80′s, early 90′s, Dick Tracy. Yeah the one with Madonna in it playing Breathless Mahoney. Okay so you remember right? Well now forget everything you remember about that movie, Dick Tracy is one of those movies you never admit you watch.

All forgotten?

Okay, now imagine how cool it would be to have a watch that served as your communication to the world, kinda like Dick Tracy, just not that movie that you are supposed to forget. Now imagine how much cooler it would be if it synced with your mobile device and gave you access to all the things you needed without ever having to take out your phone. I’m talking emails, files, and apps. Yeah Dick Tracy eat your heart out.

All of this is a reality with the Inpulse Blackberry Smartwatch ($150) by Allerta makes your mobile experience even more interesting. The device straps to your wrist and has all the functionality of a watch with the sleekness and functionality of your Blackberry. The watch connects wirelessly via bluetooth to sync with your phone with a vibrating motor to let you know you’ve got updates. It sports 1.3 inch full-color OLED screen. Good enough for messages, apps, and other quick thing, just don’t expect to watch any movies.

Amazingly as if that was not enough you can also receive SMS messages on there, view calendars, schedules, to-do lists, and so much more after customizing it, why not go out and solve mysteries, it worked for Dick Tray right?

Nevertheless it’s all an effort to make sure that you don’t miss any of your messages/phone calls. In my opinion it’s as cool as wearing one of those Casio calculator watches. Yep, if you think that’s still cool, you’re probably not a hit with the ladies…or guys.
