AT&T announced on their Face­book page that they will unlock the MMS (Multi-​​Media SMS) fea­ture for the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS this Fri­day, Sep­tem­ber 25, 2009.

AT&T had orig­i­nally promised to release this fea­ture to the pub­lic in late sum­mer… It’s a lit­tle late, but bet­ter late than never.

The fea­ture that I am most excited about is the iPhone Inter­net teth­er­ing release. AT&T still hasn’t released a date; they say that it will be “com­ing in the future.” This fea­ture used to be hack­able, so iPhone users know that AT&T has the abil­ity to sup­port Inter­net teth­er­ing. So why don’t they allow us to access it? My the­ory is that the cur­rent cel­lu­lar net­work would not be able to with­stand the load that teth­er­ing would create.

The only thing that we can do at this point is wait for AT&T to upgrade their hardware.
