Rumor roundup: iPhone 2.2 firmware details

As always no significant new features here. 2.2 main purpose is to eliminate Yellowsn0w.

mms unreliable?
are you serious?
.5 to send onE?
what a tard since you pay for txt its included
DUHH

the update is available!

A vote FOR MMS, and also something I haven't seen anyone else mention much: sms forwarding. it seems extremely stupid to me that you can't do such a simple function unless you've hacked your phone and downloaded a special program to do it (which I have, but irrelevant), because I just want sometimes to send someone a long message I've received from someone else. And yes, sometimes i do the stupid sms chain forwards to piss friends off :P please give me forwarding. If not MMS at least forwarding.

Vote for MMS. But it should be included in the Text and Data Plan we already pay for. The iPhone is a Multimedia Device that doesnt allow Multimedia Messaging anyone else see this as an issue. If I can buy a shit clamshell and get MMS then my MULTIMEDIA iPhone should have the option. Also Where is Turn by Turn GPS, Background App Support, Flash Support, and all the other STANDARD CELL PHONE FEATURES that I can get from any other carrier on almost EVERY other phone even free ones. Oh yeah and how bout a better camera 2.0 mpx is kinda low for a MULTIMEDIA DEVICE....Is this really that complicated for you Apple.

Hi,
I work for a major European Mobile company and from the traffic stats I see MMS is dead technology, MMS messages are down 75% compared against last year. There's no revenue in it and you can guess where that puts it in the budget requests...

Most subscribers use a mix of Bluetooth (Apple are you listening because to protect the drm on sound files all you need to do is add a bluetooth tag like the email one to the picture library)... for very local phone to phone and email for distance or they're utilising portable client aps e.g. moveable type or facebook for direct upload to blogs...
SMS is thriving and likely to do so until a standard for Mobile Chat emerges, and basically it's required by the Providers to enable network options so it's not disappearing anytime soon.

Sorry guys but nobody I speak to in the carrier community is putting money into MMS, it was for us anyway bridge technology whilst we waited for smartphones to gain market penetration...

I don't get the votes against MMS either. Do these ppl believe they will lost other funcationality? Do they want other funcationality to be offered instead of MMS? I just don't get all the negative votes against MMS. Please explain it to me, in a manner that doesn't include "I dont' use it" or "there is e-mail". Becuase even with MMS, you can still chose not to use it. Also, there will still be e-mail and MMS app on the same phone. So, please, give me a GOOD reason why other than same standard I have seen over and over again ("I DON'T USE IT OR MISS IT" OR "YOU CAN USE E-MAIL").

Oh, yea, and the SIZE issue. 90% of the phones on the market are 3MB or less. Also, they have a feature that auto shriks it for sending it via MMS. So, unless you have a valid reason why....stop telling us you don't use it. This is about the people who do use it. Stop making it easy for APPLE to leave out functionality that exists on every other SMART/PDA phone on the market.

no landscapemode for txt or copy paste. storm has these outta the box.....

MMS for me too.

Having podcasts appear at all in the iPhone iTunes app is great. Since they now don't appear it all, this is a very good sign that they can be downloaded, just like the tunes now for sale.

However, it looks to me that "Get More Episodes" as it appears on the does not mean download more episodes, rather to get additional episodes to appear on the list.
