Check this out. New reports are coming in that a very interesting memo is currently circulating internally at AT&T. Said memo reportedly lists a variety of features that will supposedly be included on the upcoming iPhone 3G. Among them is an exciting new service that - get this - allows you to send SMS-like messages that include multimedia attachments. Imagine! The service, cleverly named Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) supposedly allows users to attach one or more image, audio file or even video and deliver the message along with text. The recipient of the message will then see and / or hear the multimedia on his or her mobile. Nutty. None of this is confirmed as of yet, but how sweet would it be if a mobile phone had functionality like this?! Oh Apple, you’ve done it again! Next thing you know we’ll find out that Apple has figured out a way to copy text from one place and paste it to another. Ok, that’s just crazy talk.

    so hate to ask a stupid question - but will existing at&t customers who are not eligible for an upgrade at this time be able to get an iPhone?

    Let’s see how many iPhone copy cats will adopt this groundbreaking feature. I hope Apple patented it.

    okay…not to point out the obvious but doesn’t anyone else see “T-Mobile” listed as the current service of the phone in the image? I’m sure AT&T would not send out a memo with that sort of image.

    Well why would someone sending an internal at&t memo be using a jail broken iphone on T-Mobile to hype up MMS on the iphone on at&t?

    Yes, by why would the unlocked iPhone on T-Mobile be included in the AT&T internal memo?

    The only way that the phone WOULD be an unlocked phone is if the mms is embedded into the software update and actually available on the first iPhone. If not, why would there be a 3G iPhone that’s jailbreaked on an internal memo?

    THIS specific picture was not included with the memo, its simply an app for a jail broken iphone.

    That UI is horrendous — it has to be a fake. Apple wouldn’t make something like that. It would show a properly formatted phone number (or a name, if in your address book), and most importantly it would show a thumbnail of the actual image you selected — it wouldn’t show a freaking filename! Nowhere else on the iPhone OS do you deal with filenames. They don’t mean anything — the image *itself* means something to the user. So regardless of whether or not MMS is coming, those shots are either fake or from a program not written by Apple.

    There has also been a rumor that if you input a series of numbers, you could use the device in a fashion to communicate with other. How cool is that!
