It’s a big release, including the following (all features work on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch):

1. Re-designed user interface for the iPad

Jelly SMS is now compatible with the iPad, using all that extra screen size to give you a better view of your sent messages, delivery reports, and when composing new texts. It’s also now more intuitive to send ‘fast replies’ to your friends.

2. Support for multiple profiles

Have you got more than one phone or voip account that you want to send from? Well now you can add as many profiles as you like. All within Jelly SMS on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.

- This lets users define loads of separate accounts, and easily switch between them inside the app.

- For example, you could use this if your partner or friend wanted to borrow your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad and send some webtexts, they could simply switch to their O2.ie account, and send texts as if it came from their phone.

- Another reason would be that you might want to use your My-Cool-SMS.com account for sending international texts (very low cost), and then switch back to your Three.ie account for sending free national texts.

3. New ‘Settings’ popover

Now, right within the app, you can define the font, font size, default message signature and various other things.

PLUS:

• Copy sent messages just by tapping and holding them
• Forwarding SMS by Mail now happens within the app itself without exiting.
• Added support for KwtSMS.com including Arabic support
• Better error handling for certain providers
• Fixes and support for iOS 4

After a number of rounds of private beta test by a number of kind volunteers, we are delighted to now make the latest beta build of Jelly SMS for Android available to all.

First of all, the disclaimer: this is still beta software, so bugs are to be expected! That said, after having been through a few rounds of testing already, we should have the most major bugs already addressed.

To make sure that we don’t have to support the beta into the future, we have put a time limit on the app. This particular build cannot be used after March 6, 2010. And don’t worry, before that date arrives, we will either provide a new beta or make a full release of the application.

So how do you start saving money sending SMS texts on your Android phone?

• On your phone, open “Settings->Applications”
• Make sure that the checkbox beside the option “Unknown sources” is checked. This allows you to install apps other than those listed in the Android Market.
• Browse to our homepage http://www.jellysms.com using the Web Browser on your phone.
• Click on the “Android (beta)” link.
• Once the download completes, select the Jelly SMS installer in the download history window.
• Select “Install”.

Then launch the Jelly SMS app, create a login profile for your account, and use that login profile to start sending texts… It’s as simple as that!

And here’s a tip: To create a shortcut to your login profile, press “menu” on the main page of the app (the profile selection page), select “Shortcut” and follow the instructions…

Happy texting!
