I'm sure ccozad will find his way to this post and he'll be able to tell you more about the productioin areas than I will - but I think its a good albeit simple idea. You could also perhaps move to mobile e-mails.

Nice idea. I agree that this is an app for Android; as part of ccozad's Army Knife, or otherwise.

I schedule emails from time to time. One pain is that it requires the device to be left on. If one wanted to forgo the notice and confirmation to send, you could hold the messages on a central server, and the users could shut off their phone. You could give the option to upload the message to the server or keep it on the phone device.

Wait, I just read this idea again.

Why have an alarm to remind you to send it ? Why not just make the program to send it automatically on a timer ?

about setting timed texting. this was a feature on the motorola e815 i had w/ verizon a yr ago. it was an awesome feature because i could use it to remind myself or other people for certain things. not just that, but i could send people bday messages 3 wks in advance or whenever and just forget about it. i used it for so many different things. i just dont understand why they didnt carry such an awesome feature on future phones. push this idea. i loved it when i had it. and damn i miss that phone. check it out.

I find this idea NEW and a needed feature the way an eCard has it!

We could do this right now.

Just have it be a text forwarding service. send the service a text message. With the msg being the message you want sent. Then have the phone number and time of when and where you want it forwarded in the message subject header.

then it could work with all phones right now.

How could this make money?

well cant help it ...I LOVE THIS IDEA ..if like GroundLoad said just automate it

Lorms around you around to answer some of the comments ?

LarsBell, I assume it would be so cheap to run a service like this that ad revenue would cover costs. It does sound crazy simple, but worth while.

(Gord's complex tangent might be... record an audio file, schedule a time, and your phone rings and the audio is played to you. It could be a memo to remind yourself something like an SMS would. Or it could be you trying to pretend you're taking a call at a particular time to fool people into thinking you have friends. Tip: Speak in a high pitched voice when leaving audio recording if you want to pretend you have a girlfriend.)

Hard to do for a cell phone, probably easy on a PC - especially if you want messages auto-sent. If you want to be interrupted by a request to confirm stuff ...

how would we differentiate from these?

Maybe part of Army Knife?"

How is this going to make money?

A lot of cellular providers already have this service. :-/

Google has a few examples of using alarm type functionality in their samples. I'll add this to my own personal list of Android things to try... the list is building, so might not happen soon.

WOW this week is accidentally themed for mobile phone!

I like this one.
