In todays day and age it isn't uncommon to see products belonging to large brands appearing unashamedly throughout Hollywood blockbusters. The general public refer to this type of advertising as product placement, but a more common name is embedded marketing which is when a well known branded product is placed in a context usually outside of the advertisement sphere like a movie, music video or a television show.

The popularity of BiteSMS spawns from the fact that it addresses serious functionality flaws that exist in the default messaging application. For those that have been using BiteSMS since the beginning in 2008, the current 6.0 release will seem a million miles away from the bare bones tweak of version 1.12 which featured a character counter as its most notable update.
Since the launch of the iPhone 4S in October this year, it seems that a week cannot pass by without new rumors and speculation emerging regarding the release of a new Siri port allowing users of older generation devices to take advantage of the advanced features that the Apple’s new personal assistant offers.
