ScrollIt 2X turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into an L.E.D. double message display board. ScrollIt 2X will help you tell your friends, colleagues, or anyone something - when they can’t hear you: at a club, concert, class, meeting, lecture, or even a restaurant. Just type your messages and hit Display, and ScrollIt 2X will scroll the messages for everyone around to see. What adds to the fun is that ScrollIt 2X offers easy-to-type emoticons right from the same keyboard. Make your text even more fun to watch! The phone vibrates quietly to let you know when the message has finished. (Replaced with a short beep on iPod Touch and iPad.) The endless-loop option lets ScrollIt repeat your message indefinitely.
