iPhone MMS Update Available
Since the original iPhone was first launched on June 29, 2007. Since that day, iPhone owners have been waiting with baited breath to get MMS on the iPhone. It made sense that Apple pushed a few items to the side in order to make their launch date. The list of desired features and functionality for the iPhone is quite long; but MMS was always near, if not at, the top. Today, AT&T has finally launched MMS for the iPhone in the US after Apple announced the iPhone 3GS on June 8, 2009. Since then, AT&T has been working to make the experience the best possible and no doubt will have to continue to work hard to keep it up and running since wireless usage triples every year. Regardless, it's finally here! This morning, a Carrier Update was made available via iTunes. To enable MMS on your iPhone, simply connect to iTunes and click "Check for Update". A message will appear* advising you that an update is available and prompts you to install it:
The update will take only a few seconds. Once completed, restart your iPhone and ta-da!, you've got MMS!
*Note: The MMS Update is only available to those running iPhone OS 3.1.
As a coworker said... Welcome to 2003!
WTF Facebook?!
Three days and counting... even Facebook Lite is acting up! See people... this is what happens when you launch something before it's ready. I'm betting the new interaction between iTunes 9 and Facebook is causing these issues... although you'd think it'd affect Twitter too... *shrug*... come on Facebook... get on it!

An Update on iPhone MMS for our Mobility Customers
We know many of our iPhone customers are eager for an update on our rollout schedule for Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). We’ve been working for the past several months to prepare our systems and network to ensure the best possible experience with MMS when it launches – and today we can announce that launch date: September 25 for iPhone 3G and 3GS customers. MMS will be enabled through a software update on that day.
We know that iPhone users will embrace MMS. The unique capabilities and high usage of the iPhone’s multimedia capabilities required us to work on our network MMS architecture to carry the expected record volumes of MMS traffic and ensure an excellent experience from Day One. We appreciate your patience as we work toward that end.
We’re riding the leading edge of smartphone growth that’s resulted in an explosion of traffic over the AT&T network. Wireless use on our network has grown an average of 350 percent year-over-year for the past two years, and is projected to continue at a rapid pace in 2009 and beyond. The volume of smartphone data traffic the AT&T network is handling is unmatched in the wireless industry. We want you to know that we’re working relentlessly to innovate and invest in our network to anticipate this growth in usage and to stay ahead of the anticipated growth in data demand, new devices and applications for years to come.
We thank you for your business and look forward to keeping you updated on our initiatives.

This Time Lapse footage of the current LA fires... amazing & frightening at the same time! I got a great shot with my iPhone from my friend Richard's condo in downtown LA on Saturday, and Sunday night, while drinking some chardonnay, we watched the hills glow orange as you could see the actual flames!
