SwirlyMMS To Bring SMS/MMS Messaging To The 3G iPad

With a new update poised on the horizon, SwirlyMMS is set to bring MMS messaging to the 3G iPad.

SwirlySpace was the first group of developers to bring MMS functionality to the first generation iPhone with their app SwirlyMMS, and they’ve done it again. With a new update poised on the horizon, SwirlyMMS is set to bring MMS messaging to the 3G iPad.

So, just to be clear, this MMS is sent *natively* via carrier networks and NOT via our free and otherwise great service SwirlyNet.We are currently working on a new GUI for the iPad but as this movies demonstrates all technical pieces are in place that allows SwirlyMMS to send and receive MMS and SMS using the iPad!
