I read this news with an incredible sense of synchronicity. Two hours ago I was eating a Subway sub and thinking how handy it would be to receive emails in my old Nokia phone via SMS. I do have an Android phone, but I don't take it in my bike rides. This SMS feature would be very welcome.

Edit: typo on 'synchronicity'

If you don't particular care about the privacy of those messages - and let's face it, it's non-encrypted email - there's plenty of cheap email-to-sms gateways out there. You just need to register for one and then set up a filter to forward the messages (keeping a copy on Gmail).
Thanks!
Or on an even broader scale: delivering timely content, news in particular, to those without computers, via SMS.
