What is imeasage? And how does it work?

While iMessage can be compared to Blackberry Messenger it has one huge advantage over BBM (other than being on am iPhone, of course ) in that it is one app for iMessage and text massaging. It is a smart way if doing things. You will also be able to move from iPhone to iPad to iPod touch and your messages will all be there- ready to continue the conversation. It is what I will likely use more than anything in iOS 5.

I thought each device had their own imessage "id". I don't feel like having my ipad go off everytime i get a message from someone on my phone. That will get annoying quick.

That is very true! I think it is by id too...If that did notify in both places they would have to have a way to shut it off.

You go to Settings>Messages and turn on iMessage. It sends a SMS (international) to activate it. You can use either your phone number or your email as your iMessage id.

When you type a message it automatically detects that the other person has iMessage activated on his device and you ll see "New Message" written on top turn to "iMessage".
