MMS May Come to The iPhone After All
MMS, a long awaited and probably one of the most requested feature of the iPhone. MMS is a feature that would allow users to easily send multimedia (photos, video) to their contacts. MacRumors report that (via MacWorld Sweden) Swedish carrier Telia is planning on bringing Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) to their iPhone users.
Swedish developer Mobispine developed a third party application that would allow iPhones to send and receive MMS. Mobispine is marketing their MMS application to mobile carriers (such as AT&T) as a solution to provide the service to their end users.
We’re confident that operators will find the service easy to use and profitable with an opportunity to expand messaging usage, improve subscriber retention and hopefully increase revenue. The service will also increase customer loyalty and recognition as the brand is displayed on the user’s phone. The application is white-labelled and will be branded for each operator and distributed via the App store.
Mobispine also describe their application as:
MMS on iPhone enables easy, convenient and cost-effective communication with colleagues, friends and family. Users can easily create a new MMS and attach a picture from an album on the phone or simply take a new snapshot with the camera. The application is integrated with the iPhone’s contacts for easy access. Some of the key features for end-users include the ability to easily send and receive messages from iPhone to any phone with a native and intuitive user interface. The application also offers the ability to capture a picture via the iPhone camera or the option to select from existing photos.
Their have been apps before that would allow MMS on the iPhone but it looks like tht this one have a direct tie with the carriers which could also mean that carriers will most likely charge an extra fee for MMS messaging. Apple will still have to approve this App to be included in the App Store but with the mobile carrier’s blessing, it seems likely this app would see approval.[MacRumors]
