Does anyone know a good texting app that has the "mark as unread" feature?

(I hope ICS has this for when I get my next phone...)

have you tried goSMS? you can click "to do" when you get a text

I think that only happens with system apps where the original file is not overwritten. It is possible that it happens with user other apps as well especially if the file name is different.

That's only on the pop-up window, and I don't even know what its for, I just tried it out and didn't see anything.
Also once you open a text in the thread you do not have the "to do" option.

I am currently addicted to the game "Temple run"
Also available for Iphone/Ipad.

Anyone else?
Nice app, not for the faint of heart.
Cannot be played in the bathroom (i.e. strains muscles  ;D)

Actually I have unlimited data.
Little help when you travel abroad and actually need the translator though.

I saw the LP app, seems to have terrible reviews.  Wish there was a trial before having to buy the language you want :P

I'm enjoying SwiftKey X keyboard. Using the free version.
Anyone have the paid one? How does it compare to the free one?

I don't see much of a difference.
I like the old layout better because the question mark is readily available.
The only better thing I saw in the new version is that it has 2 more themes.
