Well I knew there would be a catch. I mean who's fault is this?
Apple or AT&T???????????

Unfortunately, it appears that iPhone users in the United States will be waiting longer for MMS than some other areas. Forstall noted that while iPhone OS 3.0 is capable of MMS, it requires carrier support to implement. Twenty-nine carriers in 76 countries will support MMS at the time of iPhone 3.0’s launch, according to Forstall. AT&T, Apple’s U.S. carrier partner, isn’t among them, at least not initially. AT&T will be ready to support MMS “later this summer,” according to Forstall. That news elicited boos from the crowd.

Tethering is another feature without AT&T. Tethering describes the ability for a Mac or PC to share the iPhone’s Internet connection. This feature is especially handy for mobile travelers who don’t want to be tied to the limited range of a Wi-Fi hotspot, and who haven’t purchased a 3G data card for their laptop. Especially given the absence of ExpressCard expansion slots on Apple’s refreshed 15-inch MacBook Pro line, this will be a bone of contention for some users.

iPhone 3.0’s tethering works over USB or Bluetooth, and works on Mac OS X and Windows. But in another slight to AT&T, Apple listed dozens of carriers that will support this feature, and AT&T was notably absent from the list.

You still on the AT&T network or are you using another cell phone provider?

I'm on T-mobile but it doesn't matter. You just jailbreak your Iphone which mean you can install hundreds of apps available on Cydia that Apple doesn't allow. If you decide to unlock it then you can switch provider. I have many friends with ATT with jailbroken Iphone so that they can install all these Apps.
Clippy is a good C&P program for the jailbroken peeps.

I know about the Jailbreak thing.
My issue is with a cell phone provider
not providing what is required in order
for a customer to use everything a device
is capable of doing.

If AT&T is not capable of providing the infrastructure
needed to support the iPhone then I believe Apple
ought to kick AT&T to the curb and add another
provider that will step up.
