After months of speculation (and frustration) MMS for the iPhone 3G and 3G S is officially arriving on September 25, AT&T has confirmed.

And following the release of the documents sent to the FCC, it would seem [...]

All responses are in to the Federal Communications Commission’s query asking why Apple put Google Voice for its iPhone on ice.
