Apple Thoughts: iPhone 3.0: MMS Added

Gone is the SMS app. Hello to Messages. In Apple's implementation of MMS (which will only be available on the iPhone 3G after the upgrade; sorry first gen owners) you can send pictures, web sites, contacts, and even location links (that's my personal favorite). In one example mentioned, you could theoretically send a friend a pushpin in Google Maps to exactly where you are. Sure will make those impromptu meetups at a new cafe a lot easier, right?

MMS is the only feature added yesterday that I don't care at all about, but I will say that the ability to MMS other info (map links, contacts, etc) makes it more appealing to me. I can only hope that AT&T doesn't decide to slam people like my wife and I who are paying for unlimited messaging already with even more fees so we can use the feature. I guess we'll know in a few weeks.
