If this 2.0 that is due in June (most likely July) doesn't have MMS, I am going to find Steve and punch him.

June is sounding like a great month!

Yea, what he said ^^.

Sigh. Despite them adding a ton of features, releasing the SDK beta, and potentially launching the beginning of a significant advancement in the future trends of technology and computing, someone always has to nitpick. Yes, MMS would be great, and yes a ton of phones have it, but this isn't just about building the best phone. It's about creating the framework for a new computing platform that could affect the future for decades to come.

If you can view the PowerPoint presentations with the video out, that would make for some killer presentations. Just whip out your iPhone, connect the cable, and let the audience stare in awe.

MMS is old-school - and only necessary for communicating with people with "old" phones. Who wants to be limited to tiny low-res pictures that display differently both on different phones, and across different networks?!

Apple is looking to the future, and by omitting MMS, is encouraging us to use a less proprietary, and much more flexible, feature- and media-rich system for sending pictures on the move (and movies, when it happens) - email :-)

The question is not "when will Apple include MMS in the iPhone" - I doubt that will ever happen. They omitted it for a reason. The question is more like "when will the rest of the world catch up".

Yes, they may be a bit premature, but think floppy.

Just my opinion.

It's not nitpicking. I really don't care about the mail app. I am excited for the SDK, but it bothers me that MMS has been complained about since day one, yet Apple continues to ignore it even though they say they are addressing complaints. A new computing platform should be able to get pictures from friends/family in ways other than just email and syncing with another computer, don't ya think?

Your argument completely goes against many features that iPhone has or lacks. If they are only using better tech and looking to the future, why EDGE not 3G? Why no GPS? Why no video recording? Still camera is not the future, nor is lack of real gps or 3G. Yes the argument may work for MMS, but for the phone as a whole, it doesn't stand up.

Yes, such as web galleries. But not such as MMS. It's a dead technology as far as Apple cares. Give it up.

Why no GPS? Battery life for a start, same (from Jobs' own mouth) for 3G (although I'm sure that will change later this year). But yes, I agree that the camera should be capable of recording video, but I'm sure it will come - upload-able to YouTube etc. like iMovie.

Yes, there are other features that would be great on the iPhone, but you mentioned MMS, and I'm just responding to that. The lack of GPS and 3G is barely comparable to the lack of MMS - Apple will have its own DIFFERENT reasons for omitting each of them.

As neven says, MMS is dead, or at least it should be :)
