Might this work? Perhaps a relatively simple way to implement sending SMS messages from your smartphone using a computer (at least to contacts you've already sent a text to).

set the reply-to Address on uploaded SMS as your Own gmail with an appended string specifying the phone number with an authorization code known only to the app using plus addressing
use push email to monitor sent email folder for replies to this address within the SMS app
send an SMS to the number if authorization code matches

MMS would be more complicated to implement but I think this would be a really useful feature. BTW, this app is awesome!
