Tom is a talking cat who has already conquered the Android market through his Talking Tom Cat app. Now you can get the cheeky feline to send video messages to your friends, thanks to Tom's Messenger.

To send a personalized dedication with Tom's Messenger, you choose the animal you want to record the message (just Tom the cat and Ben the dog are available for free) then hit the record button. The animal will cup their hand to their ear and you just speak your message.

Once your greeting has been recorded in Tom's Messenger, the character will speak it back in a funny voice, then you can send it as an MMS message or in a Gmail message from your phone.

You can choose from a range of backgrounds for the animal in Tom's Messenger to stand in front of. Alternatively, you can set your own background, choosing an image from your phone, or taking a photo with the camera and using that.

Unlike in other Talking Friends apps, there's no way to interact with the characters in Tom's Messenger. It would've been nice to be able to pet the animals, tickle them or even smack them to add more fun to the animated messages.

With Tom's Messenger, you have a whole new way to send messages to your friends from your phone or tablet.
