Subscribe to Open Source RSS feed In the Swedish edition of Macworld, a statement was issued - confirmed by the head of Public Relations at Telia, that they will be launching an MMS client for their iPhone customers within the coming months. Obviously MMS is a "not insignificant" feature lack in the iPhone, certainly for the European market.
What Telia brings is an interesting value proposition that I'm sure lots of European iPhone users would be interested in. Of course, there are MMS options today like Swirly, but then you require a jailbroken 2G or 3G iPhone.
Some additional news leaked today, indicating that a product from Mobispine is powering the Telia offering.
I'm looking forward to understanding what the Mobispine offering provides
- does it support SMIL message receiving and composing?
- camera & pics gallery integration?
- on 3G only or also in WIFI?
- and most importantly, how does it integrate into the existing messaging infrastructure of the operators to enable authentication, roaming support, standard billing, etc?
The solution supposedly supports typical iPhone features like Address Book look-up / autocomplete, the mobispine blog, indicating this it is indeed an iPhone app.
