I did the OS5 update and now have this iMessage. Not sure what the benefit is since everyone seems to have unlimited SMS these days anyway.
Well, with iMessage you can just stop paying for a txt plan ($10 at least), see when the other person is typing, and you get delivery confirmations. The only thing it doesn't do is group messaging. I use WhatsApp (cross platform) for that.
