My oldest (13 year old) is bugging us for this "free" app for his new iPod touch. It says it is a free downloadable application that allows you to send and receive text messages for free. It sounds too good to be true. What am I missing?

Otherwise, it looks to be fine. If the person who's receiving it has the app as well, the message goes right into that. If they don't, they get a message from a generic number with a note that it's from your account (and have to pay normal text message fees.) People can respond to an email address, which shows up on the iPod Touch as a text message.
They actually censor all profane messages, which may be a good thing in this case. No picture messaging at this point.
There's a video review of it here.

Thanks so much, cubs. I did watch the review and their only real minus (censoring profanity) is actually a plus for me! I always appreciate the expertise and experience of the Ws. Gabba gabba hey!
