In the early videos where nokia reps showed the N900 they said that MMS would come in a update..
Maybe they have said they won't support MMS in maemo 5...
Said that, we have no intention of supporting MMS in Fremantle ourselves. That was and is our plan.
We have contacted frals to congratulate him for his work, and to offer him concrete help in areas where help is missing. Nothing new, we have been doing this with other Fremantle stars (I guess nobody doubts that frals is a Star). We will help him with the UI in the lines of the UX Meets Code hackfest, and we will also help dealing with some Maemo interfaces fMMS needs (the release of the wappushd-dev package in the last Maemo SDK update was a first step). In fact we have invited frals to visit the Maemo headquarters in Helsinki, so he can meet our developers and designers face to face.
