AT&T sets date to add MMS to the iPhone!

It’s finally here (almost).  September 25th is the date that AT&T has set for Apple to activate MMS on the iPhone.

Apple announced that it would be a new addition to the iPhone back on June 8th at the Developer’s Conference in San Francisco when they released the newest version of the iPhone’s operating system, 3.0.  However, AT&T was not ready and said it was going to take them until the end of the summer to prepare for the demand that the MMS* was going to place on their 3G network, already strained by the popularity of the iPhone and the iPhones Data usage. Needless to say, the fact that millions of iPhone users had to wait for a service that they had long craved and Apple had delivered, was not a popular one to say the least. In fact, the delay was actually met with boos when it was announced at the Developer’s Conference. But now there is a light at the end of the tunnel with AT&T’s announcement this week that they had set the date.

* MMS or Multimedia Messaging Service gives the ability to send messages that include multimedia objects such as images, audio, and video.
