There was a guy on the Xoom subforum that made an app that uses Dropbox (iirc) to 'sync' text messages.

You could use Google Voice, but then all of the messages are sent from and to your GV number.

I hope someone comes up with a way to easily sync between an Android phone's SMS client and an application on a tablet, so you can use the tablet to easily interact with SMS and MMS messaging.

Textfree is the best texting app out there that gives u a real texting number. U cannot find it in the app store *also* the newest version constantly crashes on the tablet. Here's a link to a working version of textfree

Let me know how it works out for u
