AT&T: iPhone software update with MMS coming Sept. 25
The most embarrassing thing about having an iPhone is its lack of multimedia messaging. MMS is a feature that even old-school candybar "dumbphones" have had for years, and this supposedly cool, revolutionary device has been around for years without supporting it. Well, that's about to change. On Sept. 25, Apple will release a software update (presumably iPhone OS 3.1) that will enable MMS, according to AT&T. The phone company goes on to explain that they've been building out the network infrastructure that well be necessary to handle the unprecedented levels of data transfer they expect MMS to bring with it. iPhone users will believe that when they see, as AT&T has historically caught a lot of flack for providing inadequate service for the iPhone. In fact, a recent piece in Time magazine points out the carrier's deficiencies. Given all that, as an iPhone owner, I'm cautiously excited to start using MMS later this month.
