WIT Software, which develops software solutions for mobile operators and the mobile Internet, has released an MMS application for the iPhone that enables iPhone users to send and receive multimedia messages, including images and video clips. Out of the box, the iPhone does not support MMS, though you will find one or two other third party apps if you fish around the web.
WITs MMS app follows all industry standards, and, the company says, is easy to integrate within the mobile network. The application is available as a white-label product and is targeted for licensing to mobile operators worldwide.
After several months of development followed by a friendly-user trial, the application was certified by Apple, and is now available for download at the iTunes Apple Store from Portugal. The development cycle and the user-trial were done in close co-operation with Vodafone Portugal, which has become the first operator to roll out the application.
This MMS application brings the iPhone up to speed on mobile messaging features, allowing clients to make use of the iPhone camera and image gallery to express their feelings, says WIT CEO, Luis Silva. This iPhone application will be important for mobile operators that want to create a new revenue stream with MMS messaging.
