AT&T is putting its act together to finally bring the most common service in this sea of smartphones, MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), something that our old school Alcatel enjoys without a major problem, now AT&T is pointing to September 25 for an imminent upgrade to the iPhone OS to have this feature added.

AT&T was daunted by the popularity of the iPhone and is promising record breaking in the MMS arena, so they’ve prepared their system for the massive use and abuse from iphone users looking for this popular way of communication.

Prological Solutions is launching a new licensing program that will let designers and engineers to link iPhone applications and accesories to create an even wider market for new accesory ideas and usage.

Or, build an app that logs and tracks the readings from an attached heart-rate monitor. The potential solutions are limitless.

Some news outlets are receiving the formal invitation to a Rock and Roll event this September 9th, the event will help dissipate some of the rumors about the new iPods, the Cocktail album format, the The Beatles catalog finally on iTunes and maybe the iPhone based tablet.

This will be a huge event depending on what is or what isn’t introduced or left behind, but the date is near the introduction of Microsoft’s new Zune HD (September 15th), the Creative Zii Egg and the Samsung Yp-R1 media player. September will be a crowded month.

This is a short sample of what is going to happen in a matter of 2 weeks, We are going to see a real threat to the iPod Touch from more than 2 different points, but there is a big opportunity to Microsoft with the newly announced Zune HD, a powerfull media player with tremendous processing and its integration with the Xbox 360 could be a real real winner in this area, but Creative is doing its homeworks too, they are launching the Zii egg, a rich-media player packed with excellent features, the Zii is a real beast and together with the Android could have a tremendous response from developers and manufacturers looking for a big piece of the mobile gaming and media player market. But all of these specs and features shouldn’t be compared to the rumored new iPod Touch, We are using the last known specs for the iPod because there’s not information available for this new models, just rumors.

According to a BBC report, Apple is denying any problem related to the cracks of some iPhones’ screen recently reported in France, UK, Holland and Sweden that have forced Apple to investigate the matter.

Rumors have been rampant about who will carries the iPhone in China and finally We got the official word from China Unicorn, they clearly state that they have reached a 3-year agreement with Apple to provide the iPhone in China mainland, launching the iPhone in the fourth quarter. Two or three weeks ago We heard about China Unicorn buying 5 million iPhone, something that was immediately shut down by Unicorn, but could end up being true based on the 140+ million user Unircond handles. Those 5 Million iPhones could mean a little piece for China Unicorn, but for Apple is the sign of its growing business.

Nokia has pledged to strike back at Apple and produce mobile phones that will compete effectively with the US technology company’s iPhone. Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, chief executive of Nokia, the world’s largest mobile phone maker, said that it was aiming to be “even more competitive” following criticism that it had failed to come up with a handset to match the iPhone.
