SMSBoard

SMS2PC without expensive devices
SMSBoard is a program that enables the automatic downloading of incoming text messages (SMS - Short Messaging System) from an ordinary mobile phone to a personal computer. The communication link is the infra-red port or the serial interface. Once downloaded to the computer, the SMS message can be edited, be projected by a videobeamer with full screen function, or archived, or even transferred to a destination URL. All you need is a mobile phone, a computer (both with an infra-red interface). More available applications are SMS contests, SMS polls, live SMS chat, and many more.
