Messages with imessage - iPod

Now you can send text messages from iPod touch to any other iOS 5 device over Wi-Fi. Text a little. Text a lot. Text as much as your thumbs can handle. It’s unlimited. And it’s free.

Unlimited texts means no detail spared. You and your best friend text each other all the time. Even when she’s sitting right next to you. With the Messages app on iPod touch, you can text any iOS 5 device using iMessage. It’s free and unlimited. You can even send photos, videos, locations, and contacts. Everything happens over Wi-Fi. Your messages are securely encrypted. And if you have more than one iOS device, iMessage keeps the conversation going across all of them.

Just between you and me. And them. Text one-on-one or send one for all. Group messages let you keep multiple friends in the loop. Give your study group a heads-up about where you’re sitting in the library, tell the family you’re running late, or plan a meet-up with your blogging circle. Just add multiple recipients in the To field and let the chatter begin.

Get the message? It can be nerve-racking not knowing if your text was read or even received. Happily, that’s a nonissue with iMessage. It lets you know if your text went through. And if your friend has read receipts enabled, you’ll see that your message was read. No matter how heavy or light the conversation is, you’ll always know when your friend is in the middle of a reply because iMessage shows you. That’s comforting for all you impatient types.
