RSSLabor day nears, MMS and Tethering for iPhone still absent
By Tim Conneally | Published September 3, 2009, 12:39 PM
iPhone 3GS users have grown increasingly agitated that they still do not have MMS functionality and the ability to tether their phone to their laptop as a 3G modem despite the fact that these abilities were expected to arrive "at the end of the summer."
Yesterday, New York Times reporter Jenna Wortham called the iPhone "the Hummer of cellphones," burning through bandwidth like the oversized SUVs burn through gasoline. Because of this, AT&T has gotten a reputation for being an inadequate network. Nearly one third of potential iPhone owners are passing on the popular device because they don't want to deal with AT&T. The public has placed the blame for lack of MMS and tethering squarely on the mobile network operator.
This, coupled with the nearly constant stream of apps that users cannot have being dangled in front of them, iPhone owners have turned into a real disgruntled bunch.
But there is always sanctuary in hope (read: rumors).
Because the symbolic end of summer in the United States is Labor Day (Monday, September 7th this year), and Apple has an event scheduled for September 9th, some have begun to speculate that the event dedicated to unveiling this year's line of iPods will be used to also unveil MMS and Tethering for iPhone.
However unlikely it is, at least users can use this rumor to tide them over until September 22, when summer officially ends, and time will be up for Apple and AT&T's promises.

|I only have one word for you - jailbreak. I waited sooooo long for the 3.0 update to get video on my iPhone 3G and to be denied it was the last straw. Even my wife's daughter is thinking about jailbreaking her phone (and that's saying something). It really was so easy that I now regret waiting so long to do it. It really has opened up a whole new world of other apps that Apple won't approve. I mean just how useful is Backgrounder for example. One word - jailbreak.

|One can download Freedom Pix on your iPhone from the App Store and get started sending pictures now without any SMS/MMS plans required: http://tinyurl.com/nnmsha Also sending to an iPhone is free if running Freedom Pix as well, anywhere in the world. And you can post your pictures on Twitter at the same time so all followers can see it which MMS can't do.

|I've actually stopped using MMS as a non iphone user because most people with iphones complain about me sending them. It's even gotten me to the point where I find the use of MMS to be old-skool.

|I suggest someone stock up on a LOT of tissue over this one -- and for the users to not get their hopes up on this. I can certainly understand the frustration though. Guess these companies don't understand just how rabid the bite can be from high-tech gadget users.
