Textie Messaging (Free) works a bit differently from other iTouch texting apps. Instead of assigning you a phone number, the app uses your email address to replicate the texting process. When your recipient receives a text, your email address will be displayed in the "from" line, but you'll still receive messages right to the app. You can send one text to multiple recipients, and the app supports push notifications so you can stay on top of your messages. 

 TigerText (Free) is another app that allows users to text from the iPod touch. There’s no charge to send text messages, and you can import contacts directly from your address book. The TigerText app is all about privacy, so you can control when and if a text message is deleted from your recipient’s phone. In addition, the texts you send cannot be forwarded. The biggest downside? Everyone you text must have the TigerText app installed on his or her phone, which limits its usefulness.
