    "If Google can take the functionality of iMessage and extend it to all
     smartphones, it would strike a huge blow against SMS, not mention
     iMessage. If it can extend all or some of that functionality down to
     feature and talk and text phones, then Google could kill SMS as we
     know it."

Good.  Kill it.  Do it now.  Die SMS, Die!
