Emoji Without Jailbreaking

"Got an amazing link today from Ashot about this application that will allow you to send Japanese emoji icons to anyone with an iPhone - without hacking it! You all know I won't jailbreak my iPhone

Anyways, it's really simple. This is all you need to do:

#1. Get this $0.99 app called frostyplace from the iTunes store [ link ]

#2. Play with the app for a minute to activate, click on a story, etc

#3. Go into you settings -> General > International > Keyboards > Japanese

#4. Click the Emoji option to on!

#5. Text anyone with an iPhone and they'll get your icons!"

Well, I did it and it worked like a charm.  Emoji icons are just one more thing that I don't get the regional restriction on.  Are Japanese people the only folks who may want to send a smiley every now and then?  Anyway, Justine notes that if you don't get the option for the Emoji keyboard right away, you may have to click around in the Frostyplace app for a bit to get it to become available, but once it does, you're golden.  Fun stuff!
