I followed most of the keynote on cnet and am going to watch the replay also this weekend. I love that we'll be able to receive non Apple texts on iPads and my Mac now. I don't have my phone "hooked to my hip" when I'm at home as we have a landline. It might be hours and I'll look and see that I have a text from someone who doesn't have an iPhone. Now that text will show up on my iPad and Mac. I'm thrilled about that.

I ended up watching the video on the apple website last last night. Very cool stuff. I agree with you about the ability to get SMS messages on the computer too. Like you, I synced messages with all of my devices. It is great when a blue bubble person texts while I am on the computer. I can respond right there. The green bubble people always caused me to have to get up and find my phone when I heard the text alarm go off. And if I didn't hear the text alarm, I sometimes missed the message until I checked my phone again. Will love that all blue and green messages all sync to all devices. I also love that we will be able to make calls right from the computer too. So many times I look something up, like a store or restaurant, and need to grab my phone to call for more information.
