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
PIM communication with MMS
With MMS in the T68i, it is easy to send and
receive business cards, calendar entries and
notes.
Business card (vCard)
With MMS in the T68i, the user can send his/her
business card.
Calendar entry (vCal)
With the vCal function the user can enclose a
vCal entry when sending a meeting request via
MMS.
Notes
The T68i supports vNote. Notes can be sent via
MMS.

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.
