I should imagine Apple know what they are doing. I still remember the uproar when they got rid of the floppy disk drive...

in the american market they might.......
Hmmm. I would have though this was a very basic feature of the modern phone. I know they want to cut it all down to useful apps but in the UK we don't really take on the mobile email and organisation concept as much as they do in the states.
I don't think it will stop me getting one, my mum tends to MMs me random stuff as does my other half but I hardly send them really.

I put my money on that MMS will be supported, in the App Store, and it will cost you like $10/£5 to buy it.
The hardware can do it, People want it, Apple knows it, therefore money to be made from it.
This way they tailor to the market entirely. Where in the US is not so popular, people won't buy it and won't miss it. Here people want it will buy it and they are happy that there is an option to buy it.

Why use capitals? Some things we aren't meant to know.
Maybe we can make our own or some 3rd party will after looking at the SDK from the keynote presentation.

Ayeesh, is this still going on??
If you want MMS - don't get an iPhone... simple as that! Or if you do - wait until someone cracks it and then install SwirlyMMS if needs be..
Personally, I couldnt give a flying whoojitz about MMS!
As has already been discussed umpteen times, Apple seem to have this magic ability to remove dead technology... the floppy drive on the original iMac being the first example..
MMS is useful, I agree - but I don't miss it, or rather didn't miss it on my V1...(now I've sold it..)

I live in the UK and I have never sent an MMS. I should imagine if there is enough demand one will be released now there is an SDK.
Whether it's 'old' or not, it should still be on the iPhone.
It's not a difficult box to tick in terms of things that the phone offers and would be useful for people who do MMS a lot.
I speak as someone who rarely MMSs but it would be nice to have the option.

I think every mainstream phone in the UK market has the capability and every mainstream network pushes it as a service so I don't see why they haven't included it. Being Apple they will have done extensive research and will probably shown as a service that isn't widely used but I don't see it as such a big cost to implement.
Stange behaviour. But as pioneers of setting the standards, they know what they're doing I suppose!

Like I said, may be they left it out on purpose so that they can make more money out of us.

I think I have received about 10 MMS' in total, and sent even less. Won't miss this feature at all.
If it "revolutionises" MMS in the way I hope it will, it'll stop people using MMS and start them using email. MMS is so rubbish! 35p to send a tiny image that the recipient won't even be able to see?! Bargain.
Maximum file size, not standard.
Megapixels != Image Quality. One day people will realise this.
who are these "people" you speak of? Have you done research? If they're using the device to its full capability then they'll already have people's email addresses and giving them out won't be an issue.
depends what you want to take pictures of - I never rely on a mobile phone camera if I'm going out for the purpose of taking photos. iPhone is more than capable of taking snappy shots.
I don't get the mentality of people who spend their whole night orchestrating posed fun moments in front of an overexposed, out of focus point-n-shoot camera when they could just be having fun. I have a friend that racks off hundred of photos on a night out - honestly don't get it.
Apple didn't say it, though. Don't rely on what you hear when it comes to stuff coming from them.
