Singtel to support MMS and tethering for iPhone 3.0

According to the WWDC slides of Apple senior vice president of iPhone software Scott Forstall, Singtel will be supporting both MMS and Internet tethering for the iPhone when OS 3.0 is released worldwide on June 17.

While talking about both MMS and tethering (using your iphone as a wireless modem for your laptop or desktop) on Monday in San Francisco, Forstall's slides clearly showed the Singtel logo when he spoke about the carriers worldwide that would support these features immediately.

However, it looks like Singapore is not on the list of countries to get the new iPhone 3G S when it is released on June 19. Apart from the US, the other countries to get a first bite at the new iPhones are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. Another six countries will get it about a week later. The new iPhones will be rolled out to the rest of the world in July and August.
