It only took, what, 3 months (more or less), but iPhone MMS has finally been activated on AT&T's network. As the flagship carrier for the hot device, AT&T took a lot of flak over the missing feature, available on most other carriers from the day the iPhone 3GS and iPhone OS 3.0 launched.

AT&T is about the set MMS free for iPhone users.

That can't be confirmed though and it could be random Facebook users egging people on.

You'd think the guy had been missing for some time or something. Wednesday's Apple event, which was billed as the typical annual music-focus Apple event, covered a lot more than just that, as well as re-introducing a certain CEO to the audience.

What's great about the iPhone is if you want to check for registered sex offenders in your neighborhood, there's an app for that. I'm not making this up. The iPhone sex offender locator app is called Offender Locator and uses the GPS in your iPhone to locate registered sex offenders living near your current location.
