so I was looking around google and found an app for what I would like to do!
(connect my evo to my computer to charge and view/send messages through the computer)
the app is called "EasySMS" in the appmarket, NO root needed!
You access it through a web interface by going to:
http://127.0.0.1:2511/index.html
A very cool feature is you can compose a message and as you type it brings up your contacts that match the text!!
google app home:

installation instructions:

it's easy to setup! I run it through the usb cable.
**edit** when you get a text a popup comes up on the webpage interface! (I have my refresh interval on 5seconds)
