Version 2.0

The first fully functional biteSMS for firmware 2.0!

• Ability to make biteSMS the default SMS application (configured via biteSMS settings page, defaults to OFF).

  This controls the following characteristics:

• For an unread SMS, upon starting biteSMS you will be taken directly to this SMS conversation (just like the Apple SMS app).
