AT&T has given word that the much anticipated (and long overdue) MMS roll out for the iPhone will come this Friday. The carrier is nervous about the service’s roll out as unexpected traffic spikes caused a brief service outage yesterday. AT&T’s jitters comes from the carrier’s inability to keep with the massive traffic demands of the iPhone. While MMS isn’t doing anything differently than email on the iPhone has been doing since its launch mid-2007, AT&T is still taking the cautious route to make sure it can adequately keep with customer demand with whatever infrastructure it has in place already. Macrumor’s source gave us some information on the pre-launch jitters AT&T is experiencing: AT&T and its MMS partners are already seeing “record traffic during peak hours of the night” with just the users selected for testing. That early testing has been a little rocky, with AT&T seeing a fairly significant test outage yesterday that has them rushing to beef up their MMSC messaging servers. Estimates among those working on the project are that traffic on AT&T’s wireless network will be about 40% higher all day on Friday as iPhone users fire pictures and video at one another. If everything goes according to plan, thousands of iPhones will have MMS enabled throughout the day starting around “late morning Pacific time” which would be sometime after 12 ‘o clock PST and 3 ’ o clock EST. It is unknown whether or not a new IPPC file will be pushed to MMS-less iPhones through iTunes or if the feature will simply be turned on server side for those subscribers.

Hey, Apple: If a Zune can sync over Wi-Fi, why can’t an iPhone? I mean, it’s the 21st century. Why do I still have to fish out my sync cable every time I want to copy photos to my PC? That’s a question for another day. In the meantime, there’s WiFiPhoto , which, true to its name, wirelessly transfers snapshots from your iPhone to your computer. Any computer: Windows, Mac, Linux, etc., so long as it’s connected to a Wi-Fi network. To my knowledge, the only other app that comes close is Eye-Fi –but that limits you to 25 uploads per month (unless you have an Eye-Fi card) and requires a (rather annoying) desktop utility. With WiFiPhoto, you just select the photos you want to copy (from your Camera Roll or photo library), then fire up the browser on your PC. Enter the IP address shown in the app and presto: You get a Zip file containing the selected images. Obviously it would be nice if the app could copy photos straight to a particular folder, but that’s the price of a utility-free solution. Here there’s nothing to install on your system, just fast and easy photo transfers. You can see WiFiPhoto in action in the above video. If you like what you see, the app will run you just 99 cents. Definitely worth the money, in my opinion, at least until Apple paves the way for Wi-Fi syncing. Which the Zune has had for a couple years now. Just saying.
