Node Mobile Launches freespeech(TM) Smartphone Messaging Application

March 29, 2011 - PRLog -- NEW YORK, NY--(March 29, 2011) –  Smartphone users are frustrated with the slow delivery, response time, limitations and expense of text messaging.  As phones have gotten smarter, text messaging has remained the same.  Now iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users can free themselves of archaic text messaging functionality with the new messaging application, freespeech(TM).  

Designed by New York-based Node Mobile, freespeech meets the demands of countless mobile users who seek rich messaging without losing the simplicity of text messaging.  Users are able to send and receive real-time peer-to-peer and group messages, much like instant messaging.  The application also enables users to start a conversation or group message with those users who don’t have the app or who have other types of phones.  Built for messaging in the smartphone age, freespeech is seamless and easy to use.  

“Our product-focused team has put together a simple, fast and free way to communicate with all of your friends,” says Jason Fertel, Co-Founder and CEO of Node Mobile.  “Freespeech takes mobile messaging a step beyond SMS, delivering what we think is the best messaging platform for today’s smartphone user.”

freespeech includes three key features:

• Free instant text messaging:  The days of paying for text messages are over.  Message any mobile phone user at no cost.  Conversations between freespeech users are sent instantly via mobile push, while messages to non-freespeech users are sent from a user assigned number for free texting.

• Group messaging:  Effortlessly add any contact or mobile number to a conversation.  Group members can add other friends to collaborate quickly among many people.

• Real-time message acknowledgements:   Not only can Freespeech users see when messages to other users have been delivered and read, but they can also see when the other party is typing.

Recently, the smartphone messaging space has exploded with niche products built for specific purposes such as mobile groups, location-based chat and video messaging. Unlike those applications, freespeech is built for everyday use to quickly and easily stay connected to the people that matter most.

Pricing and availability:
Freespeech is available for free to all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users in the United States and Canada.
