When someone sends you an MMS, you actually get an SMS message with an identifier; then you connect to a server, give it that identifier, and download the MMS. Fine.

The catch is that MMS was defined in the age of WAP. The server you need to connect to is your WAP gateway, which does not accept connections on your regular Internet connection, only on your WAP connection--which is also an IP connection, but runs over the phone network differently, somehow.

This is fine for OSes which were written for phones. The problem Unix-based phones run into is that a Unix kernel assumes that every IP interface will have a separate IP address--and, on the phone network, it can easily turn out that your WAP connection and your Internet connection have the same address.

The Maemo community have apparently got a patch to the Linux kernel which lets it cope with multiple interfaces with the same address, and there's work done or planned to use that to add MMS to Maemo 5. Apple, though, seems to have taken a different approach, because AT&T had to do something special to work with 3.0's MMS support. I suspect they defined their own, more sensible protocol, and AT&T had to update their servers to speak it.]]>Oct 20th 2009 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/mms-for-iphone-2g-and-tethering-on-os-3-1-2-explained-not-for-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/mms-for-iphone-2g-and-tethering-on-os-3-1-2-explained-not-for-t/Oct 19th 2009 10:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/mms-for-iphone-2g-and-tethering-on-os-3-1-2-explained-not-for-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/mms-for-iphone-2g-and-tethering-on-os-3-1-2-explained-not-for-t/Oct 19th 2009 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/mms-for-iphone-2g-and-tethering-on-os-3-1-2-explained-not-for-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/mms-for-iphone-2g-and-tethering-on-os-3-1-2-explained-not-for-t/
