There are also new consumer use cases that cannot be achieved on iOS.
An app like Texty (http://goo.gl/P5c0q) is just not technically feasible on the iPhone. An iPhone version is our #2 requested "feature" -- but we just tell people "Go talk to Steve please :)"

Sorry about this - we'll look into this right away...can you shoot us an email at INFO AT TEXTYAPP.COM?
We are iterating on the Chrome Extension daily as we launch features and encounter bugs like this.

Re: 1 - we linked to the chrome page because that has the most complete info about the application, plus user reviews.
Re: 2 - we'll surely admit that the UI is not great right now -- but we are improving with each release. we want to get it out to people as early as possible, though, so we can get real feedback and build accordingly!

You should try this out for a few hours and see the difference.
Just the fact that it gives you HTML5 Desktop Notifications with easy way to reply, and syncs with your actual texting stream on your phone (not GV) makes it worth looking at.

Our view is that many people don't want to break out of their existing contracts with their carrier -- which one has to do when porting their current # to GV

Texty only supports Android phones right now.

This lets you not have to deal with a separate phone # and set up.

We built this because our experience with Google Voice was awkward. Having multiple phone #'s didn't work for us.
This basically mirrors the SMS activity/stream on your phone, onto a Chrome extension.
