The fact people still want to MMS boggle my mind. It's outdated and only exists to make money. |
The only thing wrong with that is the greedy carriers charging for it. Especially on plans where you have data, SMS, MMS should be free. I don't find nothing wrong with the technology itself. It's easier to send a quick SMS or MMS than an email.
The only phone you could say SMS and MMS is useless is the BlackBerry, where messaging is so well integrated and easy to use.
Also, this looks like a patent troll to me, as there are phones out that can do file transfer, wether you're on a call or not, therefore "infringing" on Apple's patent once it goes through.
