Outlook and SMS/MMS

[Rhuleathor]

Hi, in Sweden we have a mobile and telehone operator called Telia who has a
addon service called SMS in the computer (roughly translated...). This is an
excellent service which allows you to send SMS and MMS with your Outlook,
using you contacts as you would with an e-mail. None of the other service
providers has this feature. The way that it works is that you install the
application and use your cell phone number as sender and receiver.

I am wondering, wouldn't it be better if Microsoft had this application,
regardless of what service provider you have? Do you know of any plans to
develop such an application?

Microsoft already offers this capability in Outlook 2007, and there
apparently are two Outlook 2007 Mobile Service providers that work with
Telis. See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA101549971033.aspx and
