Cool, but how is this different than http://teleflip.com?

Also, it's been possible to send text messages to your phone for a while, see: http://lifehacker.com/software/cell-phones/send-sms-from-email-127033.php

i don't know what teleflip does, but this app has started out of a basic need: when i'm away from my computer, i would like to know if i have received any (important) emails. right now it truncates an email to 140 characters, so you can't read the entire mail (most of the time) -- just know the sender and subject and the first line...
