Software for the Blackberry and Windows Mobiles will automatically forward incoming text messages to an email address.

A new version of Electric Pocket's txtForward software tool enables users of Windows Mobile smartphones to automatically forward their text messages to any email address they specify. A BlackBerry version of txtForward was released this past Summer.

Having the option to have SMS via email is one that operators have been slow to provide. With the need for an audit trail of messages in many business situations, this product plugs an important gap.

It should be noted that txtForward sends the email messages via Electric Pocket's server. However the company says that there is no logging, recording or monitoring of messages.

txtForward is available for US$9.95.
