Nokia Beta Labs: Vista Text Messenger

As if the release of Nokia Maps 2.0 wasn't enough, Nokia Beta labs released yet another application -Nokia Text Messenger . The application, or widget per say, is compatible with Vista only, and allows text messages to appear directly within Windows. This should work will all Nokia devices compatible with PC Suite, and requires the device to be synced with the PC.

Nokia Text Messenger supports two different modes, one that integrates into Windows sidebar and another that displays a free floating window within the desktop. The different modes support viewing 3 and 5 messages respectively, and allows text replies. Personally I am really pleased with the creativity coming out of Beta Labs, as this is something we wouldn't see out of Sony or Motorola (Apple is another story). Obviously Vista is the latest from Microsoft, but what about some support for XP? What would you like to see in the future out of this application?
