iPhone to get MMS?
AT& T may be getting ready to add multimedia messaging service for the iPhone, according to a new report.
The iPhone Atlas quotes an internal AT& T memo saying the telephone company will include the feature, which allows transmission of text, pictures, and potentially video to other MMS-enabled phones.
AT& T officials referred questions about the service to Apple. Apple officials could not immediately be reached for comment
There are third party add-ins that make MMS service available for iPhone users in the U.K.







Apple (and any other company now, for that matter) isn't developing products in a vacuum. They have decades of technological development to learn from when they are producing whatever the new gadget is. To suggest that "patience" is in order when a device comes to market lacking features/options that the market has come to expect is just making excuses for bad design choices.
Apple built the iPhone/iPod Touch with REAL IP access, go through the net for MMS, that is FREE. Or go ahead and pay BY THE MESSAGE if you really prefer or if you think the phone companies are not making enough already.

All the wireless carriers transmit your MMS messages via an email address, just plug in the intended wireless phone number with the particular phone company domain and voila! Happy MMS messaging!
I have been seeing some threads that question even the need for "MMS". I think for every thread I have read now it?s not needed, I have seen 100?s responses to why it?s need.
Also, I agree with you ED. Apple has been in business for a long time and Cell phones are only evolving. Why would they de-evolve a cell phone that is supposed to be the best and only cell phone you will ever need.
Right now, I am on the edge of buying an iPhone. Here are the reasons why I won't right now, just to name a few.
1. No MMS (like 100,000's others, I USE IT).
2. Lack of basic functionality like Cut and Paste.
3. No Bluetooth File Transfers/Syncing
4. No Bluetooth Stereo Headsets
5. No Bluetooth pairing w/ other devices (only allow headsets)
6. No Video Recording
How cool would it be to have WM6.1 on an iPhone like device. I like to freedom of the WINDOWS OS on my current AT&T TILT phone. Install software I want w/out MS telling me I can't and w/out having to CRACK it.
