The iPhone was released to retail during the summer of 2007.  That means, if the features conspicuously missing from the iPhone at the time were in fact missing due to bugs, then Apple has had well over a year and a half to resolve those bugs.   Yet, in January of 2009, our iPhones still can’t send media messages, and they still can’t record video.

Moreover, any attempts to develop apps that accomplish video recording and storage or media messaging using MMS have been blocked by Apple’s Appstore Nazis.  Why?

Does Apple have something so incredibly cool up their sleeve that they’re forcing would-be competitors to the sidelines while we all waiting in Lemming-like anticipation?  I doubt it.   If Apple had something that slick and revolutionary–having to do with mms–they wouldn’t need to worry about competitors or imitators in the app store, would they?

Seriously, it’s ridicululous that I can download a multimedia Fart catalog from the app store but I still can’t take video or mms on the iPhone.
