I would like to have MMS. I would also like to have a Sling player for the
iPhone and the ability to use the iPhone as a wireless modem.

Sling player is rumored to be coming. Wireless modem ability is also
rumored to be coming. MMS is rumored to be coming if you live in
Sweden. I don't need any of those but I would like text selection and
to be able to delete the selected text.

That's quite possible, yes. There are definitely cultural differences
in these things - for example, the Japanese use the "emoji" emoticons
that were added in 2.2, but as I understand it, nobody else does.
Americans use SMS messages much more rarely than Europeans, I am told.

Apple is the actual gatekeeper here. The 10MB limit might be a
capitulation to AT&T (and other "partner" carriers,) but the limitation is
Apple's, not AT&T's. My wife has an unlocked iPhone on T-Mobile USA, and
the PHONE refuses to download files larger than 10 MB- despite T-Mo's
network having no such limitation (other than the user might grow old and
die first waiting for more than 10MB to download at 2G!) ;-)

How does she do that with the app store, Vic?

Again, the limitation seems to be hard-coded INTO THE PHONE by Apple, not a
network message generated by AT&T, else non-AT&T users like my wife
wouldn't see it, and other AT&T phone users would also be hampered by the
limit, but apparently aren't.

Thanks for the tip. Next time my wife wants to download an 11MB app, I'll
tell her to flag down a passing cruise ship! ;-)
