What they will be releasing though is the same 2nd generation iphone with 3.0 OS already in it, and of course the 3.0 firmware update which would be available for everyone else on itunes. The next iphone will be so spectacular and advanced that Apple would need more time with its design and in testing it to make sure it would deliver its features smoothly.</p> I don't think Apple will release a 3rd gen iphone just yet.

You don't need a personal e-mail address (although I don't know a 14-year-old without one) or smartphone to communicate to an iPhone. If you have MMS technology in your phone, you have the option to send that message to an e-mail address instead of a phone number. You can usually save that preference for the contact. No smartphone required. My RAZR could do it a zillion years ago. And we all know how easy it is to retrieve our e-mail on our iPhone. And, as mentioned, if you know someone's service provider, you can just as easily e-mail them a message that will come right to their MMS inbox. Does this clear things up at all?</p> <p>And that multiple SMS thing was fixed forever ago... do you not update your iPhone?!?</p> You guys sound pretty confused.

Is MMS something that belongs on a business card? Get real. And you still don't understand. They don't send an MMS to yournumber@att, that wouldn't work. They send it to your email address. It's as simple as asking the few people that send you an MMS to please forward that to your email and add that to their contacts list. On your end, add theirnumber@carrier to their contact info on your iPhone. If they have a smart phone then just freakin email it, the pics show up in better quality. If it weren't for the incredibly pointless forwards and the occasional actual really good reason to send a pic, MMS would disappear. Someday email will be simple enough to replace even SMS, especially if it stays limited to 160 characters and they never end up caring that we can't send a doubly long SMS between carriers.</p> @Greg Do you picture message with all 300 contacts?

Of course the only drawback is you have to know the recipient's mobile carrier, but that's a small matter and allows MMS to work well enough until it is completely obsolete.

Honestly, of all the things the iPhone can't do, MMS is one I hope it never does, and I hope other phone manufacturers follow suit, swiftly ushering MMS right out the door.

Now ask me about video recording or a wider use of Bluetooth on the iPhone, and I'll definitely join in your rants!
