They've come up with a bridge, of sorts, from text messaging to more traditional voice-only phones. Type in a message, add a few "sound shortcuts" and then pick what voice style you want your message spoken in. A server somewhere turns it all into an audio file and delivers it to someone over the phone. Based on some of the sound shortcuts available (vomiting, farting) you can make assumptions as to the market they are targeting. ":^)
