The rest of the world obviously has it better than the United States. The Asian markets gets iPhone robots and Square Enix games, Finland has the Roomba cat, and now Sweden gets MMS for the iPhone. What has Sweden given us? Furniture that lasts about a month.
According the Macworld Sweden, Apple have given permission to Telia, the Swedish wireless carrier for the iPhone, to develop its own MMS app for the iPhone. Lack of MMS has been one of the major complaints of iPhone owners and detractors. MMS can be found on almost every other current mobile phone in the world, but for whatever reason, not the iPhone.
Out of the box, the iPhone only supports SMS text messages. Methods to circumvent this include, using email for MMS messages and jailbreaking the iPhone to install third-party applications that bring MMS to the device.
All of this won't matter to Swedish iPhone users though, since it's obvious that their mobile service provider cares enough to create MMS applications. Will the success of this mobile carrier creating MMS applications influence other regional carriers to do the same? As of now, there has been no word of Apple giving the thumbs up to any other regional iPhone carrier.
Hopefully AT&T will follow Telia's lead because the AT&T system to receive MMS messages on the iPhone has go to be the worst workaround in the history of workarounds.
