Once a week we dip into the reader mailbag and share some helpful tips. Today we’re looking at Android TXT messaging from your desktop, indexing offline storage volumes, and adding iOS-style folders to your Android homescreen.
Desktop-based Text Messaging
Nick writes in with a favorite time saving tip:

Matthew writes in with a solution to his storage indexing problems:

We took Application Folder for a test spin and it does give a nice iOS folder feel to Android’s homescreen folders. Nice find Marcus!
