SMS-Chat upgrade supports animated emoticons

Here's another update for SMS-Chat released by Vito Technology and what an update some are going to say because it adds one of the basic functionalities you would expect to find in any SMS software: Animated Smilies. This is a nice addition. However, on reading the press release I thought Vito Technology added a new menu where to pick the desired emoticon, but I still have to manually type the signs ":" and ")" to insert a smile. Unless I'm missing something, SMS-Chat 1.1 only renders back an animated smily to make reading a sms more enjoyable and fun. Of course, your recipients will see them only if they also use SMS-Chat.

This new version also includes "feature that everybody really likes in the previous version of SMS-Chat is the ability to click hyperlinks to open in browser, to click phone number to place a call and e-mail to send a letter. Now this feature has become even cooler. In previous version you were to click the SMS to call out menu buttons afterward choose the needed action. As far as the new version you only need to click the highlighted text and SMS-Chat will automatically detect whether it should give a ring, e-mail or open the link in the browser".

SMS-Chat is available for $14.95 at http://iwindowsmobile.com. SMS-Chat supports English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Norwegian, Danish, Portuguese, and Russian.
