example, a user can send a clip of his or her own personal rendition of “Happy Birthday”.

Pictures and themes

By using either a digital camera attached to the T68i with a cable, or a snap-on camera accessory, users can take a snapshot and immediately send it to a recipient. The ability to send pictures is one of the most exciting attributes of MMS, as it allows users to share meaningful moments with friends, family and colleagues.

Mobile picture transmission also offers inestimable utility in business applications, from sending on-site pictures of a construction project to capturing and storing an interesting design concept for later review. Editing a picture by adding text allows users to create their own electronic postcards, an application that is expected to substantially cut into the traditional postcard-sending market.

Themes (downloaded or pre-defined) can be exchanged via MMS.

SMIL presentations

SMIL stands for Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language and is pronounced “smile”. SMIL in the T68i allows the user to the create and transmit PowerPoint-style presentations on the mobile device. SMIL is an advanced XML-based protocol, and Sony Ericsson MMS supports a subset of this protocol. Using a simple media editor, users can incorporate audio and animated GIFs along with still images, animations and text to assemble full multimedia presentations.

The idea of SMIL is to allow the user to customize the page timing in Powerpoint-style presentations. The user can decide in which order the image and text will be displayed, as well as for how long the images and text lines are to be shown in the display

Benefits

Essentially enabling the mobile terminal to serve as image processor and conveyor, Multimedia Messaging accommodates the exchange of important visual information as readily as it facilitates fun. Business and leisure usage of MMS will be dynamically merged, resulting in enhanced personal efficiency for users and increased network activity for operators. In short, MMS affords total usage for total communication

Because MMS uses WAP as its bearer technology and is being standardized by 3GPP, it has wide industry support and offers full interoperability, which is a major benefit to service providers and end users. Ease-of-use resulting from both the gradual steps of the messaging evolution and the continuity of user experience gained from interoperability is assured.

The MMS server, through which MMS messages are sent, supports flexible addressing (to both normal phone numbers (MSISDN) and e-mail accounts), which makes user interface more friendly and allows greater control for operators. The MMS server, moreover, is responsible for the instant delivery feature of MMS.
