 Apple's kept it quiet, but the company has been quietly developing a way iPhone users can send MMS messages to friends using the device. At least, that's the latest rumour spreading on teh 'Net.

Seems an internal AT&T email has emerged regarding a service which lets users attach images, audio and video to a normal SMS. 

Related stories see Rogers Wireless, Canada's exclusive iPhone 3G carrier announcing today that monthly service plans for the handset will start at $60 for 150 anytime minutes, 75 outgoing text messages, and 400MB of data.

"As Canada's leading wireless carrier, Rogers is thrilled to not only bring the iPhone 3G to Canada but to make it affordable and accessible to as many customers as possible," says John Boynton, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer, Rogers Wireless. "We've designed a pricing structure that offers affordable, flexible voice and data packages so Canadians can truly unleash their iPhone 3G experience on Canada's fastest wireless network."

Finally, Apple and China Mobile have cleared the main hurdle to a deal for China, meaning iPhone could ship in that country before the end of the year. It's understood Apple's move to abandon insistence on a revenue-sharing deal was the barrier to doing the deal in the first place.

Check the carrier at the top of the iPhone screenshot. From what I've read, this is an unofficial app for jailbroken iPhones and T-Mobile in the status bar tells me it's not an official app.

IS that the send button? Really? It seems lost...

Yeah it's clearly a jailbroken phone running SwirlyMMS

You'll notice that the article refers to a memo, and it makes no assertions that the images are meant to represent any MMS software that Apple has created. I think the images are just for illustrative purposes only.

 Images for illustrative purposes only...hmm - I can change it if you like?

He never says that there is a leaked screenshot, just a rumor. The pictures are sometimes just pictures to relate to the story, not an actual screenshot.

You can tell its fake. its not Apples style. since when do they use a button (send) like the one above and entry fields are just plain square. Nice try...

I agree this is a total fake. I've read this same story on multiple websites and non actually refer to the picture, it's obvious that everyone is just copying the same lame fake story spreading on the web. I'm so sick of mac sites publishing this unconfirmed crap just so that they are not the last on the block to report it!

How can it be a fake when it doesn't claim to be an Apple image? You people seem a little brain dead.
