"A week ago, Ars Technica reported on a flaw within Apple's iMessaging system, iMessage."

The basic problem is that if your iPhone was stolen, it would still have the capability to receive messages via iMessage, even after you wiped it remotely. Rather annoying yes? Well, have no fear, the folks over at Macworld came up with a solution to the problem, in three easy steps.

How to Set Up iMessage

"Wondering how to setup iOS 5′s new iMessage service on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch? Using iMessage you can send text messages, photos, video and much more to other iMessage users around the world, all over your existing data connection. That's right, no texting plans or charges needed! Here's how to get started."

If you haven't set it up yet, it is pretty easy. I've found the best option is to keep it all sync'd so that I have the same conversations whether I'm on my iPhone or my iPad. But that's just me, what are your thoughts? How do you like iMessage so far?

Will iMessage Kill SMS?

"Apple just barely announces the existence of iMessage and the world screeches to a halt. Blackberry stocks take a dive and the future of SMS in the US is called into question. And I'm personally left feeling very confused."

The confusion comes about due to the reaction of the markets, with talk of Apple's iMessage function bringing about the death of SMS as we know it (this article for one). I certainly don't believe that, because, like Apple fans, there are Android fans, Blackberry fans and fans even of the old faithful flip phone. To think that iMessage is going to significantly alter the course of messaging is rather ridiculous. Granted, it will be a nice option to have but only between iOS devices, and I will still have a need for SMS on my trusty iPhone to communicate with friends that have chosen to stick with the Android platform. There is no all-in-one app out there that has captured EVERYONE's interest so until that happens, I think SMS is safe. If you are interested in a good run down of the iMessage function, Apple Insider has a pretty good article here. What are your thoughts?
