Kakao Talk Messenger (free) by Kakao Corp.
I have no idea if Kakao Talk is hot in the U.S. but I can tell you this… it’s huuuuuge in Korea! It really is. I live in Seoul, Korea and just about everyone who has an iPhone or Android device here also has Kakao installed.
So why has an entire country taken such a shine to this app? Probably because it allows you to chat (read: SMS) with anyone, anywhere in the world as long as they have Kakao on their iPhone, Android, or Blackberry, and it does all that for free. Oh yeah, and Korean society is also sort of a hive mind, like the Borg in Star Trek… but I digress.
So like I was saying, if you and the people you text regularly all start using Kakao, you can probably stop paying your wireless carrier for whatever SMS package they suckered you into buying, and if you have friends or family living overseas then this app becomes a must-have.

Russian developer Flysoft arrives in the Nick of time (see what I did there?) with a nifty little holiday messaging app called SMS-BOX Christmas Time! Does it send visions of sugar plums dancing through your head or give you a case of the humbugs? Flysoft is pretty confident it’s the former so let’s see what they have to say first then I’ll try to confirm or deny with plenty of opinions along the way.
