Today at the World Wide Developer’s Conference, Apple made note that MMS would be included in the new 3.0 software update – but that it would not be available on AT&T until “this summer”. That’s painful, but then I just noticed this on Apple’s web site:
“Tethering is not currently offered in the U.S. and some other countries. See your carrier for availability.”
