Let's hope so. This would be great and would be downloaded too many times to count. I'll be first :-)

Re: Swedish provider hints at MMS on iPhone
The worst thing about the iphone is that it is made for the USA. There is no reason for apple not to support mms. There is no reason for the iphone not to make video. There is no reason I can not cut paste and copy text in my sms and forward my sms. I've seen them do it with hijacked phones. Apple must take better care of their costumers as normal cellphone users and not only as sophisticated business man or spoiled brats that want only fun. The truth is that most people still don't have email at all or never check it. Email apps don't replace good sms and mms and email is slower and heavier. That's the truth. Apple wake up!

Re: Swedish provider hints at MMS on iPhone
I dont think the lack of mms is a big issue. But i agree that cut and paste and the video no no is an important shortcoming. But whats really strange is the bad Bluetooth support. Why isnīt it possible in 2008 to send av VCard via Bluetooth on iPhone 3G? Or connect to a stereo bluetooth headset?
Apart from that the iPhone 3G is a fantastic piece of equipment. Sony Ericsson did have a chance with the P800 some years ago but after that they just lost it. The future belongs to Apple. And eventually the iPhone will replace the laptop.

Re: Swedish provider hints at MMS on iPhone
I agree with most of what you said with the exception of email. While email is mainly used by business users it's more common place now with regular consumers. I use multiple email accounts, one for work and the other for personal use. Both are used heavily. As for not having features such as MMS and video recording it's unfortunate as these are already available on jailbroken iPhones provided by third party developers that couldn't get their apps approved by Apple for the App Store. So they now post these apps in the third party installer Cydia where they let the market decide, not Apple. In the end this hurts not only Apple but also the consumer since not everyone wants to jailbreak and several customers will continue to hope that Apple will be more flexible with their approval process. Letting the Swedish provider post their MMS app in the App Store may be one such step in the right direction.
