MMS and Video capture.. wait and see

[mtfield]

Steve made a note to say that the features he showed today were just "some" of the new additions to 2.0.. I would wager that mms and video might be in the final release, but just not displayed today due to time constraints. I mean the thing ran way long and those features just aren't that important to the developers they were showing this off too... agree disagree?

Disagree.
If he was showing you SOME of the features
you'd think he would show you the stuff that people want first, right?
so if video capture and mms was in it, i'm close to positive he would have mentioned it first

never saw the keynote but if true that would shut up a lot of whiners

People are going to try and build MMS and camera apps. If they were in the firmware developers are the first people they'd tell.

I'd agree - we saw a preview, not a locked feature set. It's got a cam, it's able to do video if coded for, and it might be waiting for some other unmentioned Apps in the App Store to integrate with. They had a lot to go through, and Jobs isn't really rushed. (enough with the calculator...) The presentation could have been shorter I think, but they were putting all the points across they wanted to.

I'd imagine they'd show video, if the function was there, when it's integration into other apps was complete.

as for developers - Apple would be able to steer developers away from any MMS or camera app building if it wanted to.

i read on the macrumors live updates that the iphone has the capability to save photos you receive, what did that mean?

If you get an email with a picture in it(or from the web if rumors were true)
you can save it to your photo album on the iPhone.

Its similar to how you can drag off a picture from Safari on OS X or Windows, on put it on your desktop(but the iPhone doesn't have a desktop)

That's a big reach. I mean it wouldn't take that long to say the iphone now does mms and video recording.
