Android app review - TippoBilloSplitamus

Google SMS App!

Google and Cell phones???

Hmmm it makes me think that once Google gets their hands into cell phones there is going to be no turning back. I really like the way Google does business and seems to really think things through when creating new products and services, but I just...
