AT&T: MMS for iPhone finally set for Sept. 25

By Ben Patterson / Yahoo! Tech (CLICK to read more)

"After a barrage of criticism, AT&T ends the months-long guessing game and announces a launch date for picture messaging on the iPhone 3GS and 3G, a few days after its self-imposed deadline. Still no word on tethering, though.

Through its Twitter account and on its Web site, AT&T says that MMS functionality will finally arrive on the iPhone on September 25—a few days after the 'later this summer' deadline that the carrier initially promised—through a 'software update,' presumably iPhone Software 3.1.

The news comes on the same day as this blistering article in the New York Times, which describes the 'dropped calls, spotty service, delayed text and voice messages and glacial download speeds' that iPhone users have dealt with thanks to AT&T's overloaded network."
