FunkeeStory: Treo SMS History on Your Mac
One of the Treo's best features is its threaded SMS application that makes your SMS messages appear like a chat session. In fact, the iPhone appears to take up and improve this SMS functionality by presenting text messages in an iChat like interface. Well, until that happens, those of us using a Treo may find FunkeeStory to be useful. It syncs your Palm Treo's SMS history to your Mac through a conduit compatible with Palm Desktop or Missing Sync. So when you sync your Treo 650/680/700p to your Mac, your texting history will show up on in FunkeeStory, to be saved, sorted, and searched.Overall, this seems like a nice idea, since if you're a heavy SMS user you'll probably find that your text messages are a kind of personal history, and the Treo will only hold so many messages before it starts overwriting the earlier ones. Unfortunately, FunkeeStory is a bit pricey at $19.95, but a 10 sync demo is available

I've been using Treos since the 600 and loved the SMS feature more than anything else on them...Mat's right about it being among the best. But the iChat interface on the iPhone being an improvement? I reserve judgment until I use one. It looks from the videos like it takes up a lot more space and mimics that cartoony look iChat has on the Mac, which I wish they wouldn't do. If they gave a choice of themes like Adium does, now THAT would be an improvement. =]

Thanks for mentioning my app Mat! I really appreciate it.
I've been getting a few comments that the price of my app is abit pricey and i'm genuinely interested in why some users are thinking that. Is it because of insufficient features in the current release to justify the price? Or is it that Mac users are reluctant to pay $20 for apps these days? Or some other reason? I'm really curious.
Version 1.1 of FunkeeStory is currently in the works and will feature viewing of SMS statistics and a more polished UI, so I hope that will work in some way to make the price more appealing. :-)
I actually have a VERY long to-do list (around 100+ items) of features that I would like to add to FunkeeStory, so stay tuned! And every sale goes towards keeping me as an indie Mac developer and not working for The Man on Windows projects (which I used to work on in what seems like a previous life), so please continue to get the word out!
Cheers!

I will definately buy this product - once it has the manual import feature. $20 is a bargain to be able to track the SMS history from the last 3 years! :D
