Seriously though, cheap ass color phones have been doing MMS for years. The iPhone, which is hailed as one of the best phones on the market, doesn’t have MMS. It’s always been one of my biggest complaints about the phone. With hacked firmware this problem was later resolved but it still sucks that my friends try to send MMS to me and it fails. A few years and a kick in the ass and Apple finally announces MMS capabilities with iPhone firmware 3.0. They’ve also included copy and paste and horizontal texting. Steve Jobs needs to dry his head off because it’s been stuck up his ass all these years. Here’s the full release info on 3.0:
Advance preview of 100 new features.
For iPhone owners, it just keeps getting better. When iPhone OS 3.0 arrives this summer, it will introduce over 100 new features, including the ability to:
* Search your iPhone
* Cut, copy, and paste
* Send photos, contacts, audio files, and location via MMS*
* Read and compose email and text messages in landscape
They added a lot of nice features but here’s some questions no background app support for third party apps?
)
but hey its a start.
Stereo bluetooth (not you generation 1
Proxy support? Why is this needed
LDAP and VPN? Interesting… But that added with the tethering and Proxy just makes this a very accessible hacker/script kiddie tool now, doesn’t it?
Parental Control? Why if your gonna drop $300 on a phone for a 16yr old kid in the first place the parental control barrier isn’t really necessary is it, right?
iphone to iphone transferring/data sharing now this along with MMS and copy/paste were LONG overdue… Note the transfer is limited to Bonjour devices
One real question i have is when asked what took so long for copy and paste they simply answered “It’s not that easy there were security flaws to address” ???? WTF are they talking about every other Smartphone or multimedia device in the world has this feature oh yeah minus YOURS lol…. I may have exaggerated the last point statement but still.
I’m just saying i still love the HTC Touch Diamond as of recently i don’t have much of a soft spot for apple…
Yes indeed better late than never. I can’t wait for all of the features that was on the webcast. Great direction for games with in game voice being pointed out. I’ve been on the Watchmen MMO game and met a few people online. it was fun fighting them. lol
Thanks for posting this gaming news…peace
At least they’re catching up. Hell even my old Sony Ericsson had MMS, and C/P is something i would expect on all smart phones. Again, better late than never.
