Incidentally, the strongest added functions to the 3.0 software are not yet supported by AT&T in the U.S., MMS and Internet Tethering, both of which were available here in Hong Kong as soon as we updated our iPhone. Photos appear in the Messages app along with text messages. Click on the photo to see it full screen. If the same person sent more than one photo, you can swipe to see the other pics. Internet Tethering connects to my MacBook Air effortlessly, either with the USB cable or wirelessly via Bluetooth. And the speed is surprisingly fast, even on Bluetooth. So imagine when iPhone 3G S comes to Hong Kong next month, the 7.2Mbps bump will make surfing the web on-the-go almost indistinguishable from using Wi-Fi.
