I'm really confused about development of MMS. Can anyone help me. How does one develop an MMS ready image with text? What format does it take? Is it smil or .jar? | |||

I think this document will help you. It gives a good view on MMS. http://www.forum.nokia.com/ndsCookieBuilder?fileParamID=3340 | |||

To add to Marty's comment ... SMIL is a presentation mark-up language. It gives you the ability to have a slide show type of presentation in an MMS message. An MMS message usually contains a SMIL file, and one or more other multimedia objects (text file, image file, video file, etc.). How you then combine those components into a single MMS message entity then varies depending upon the MMSC or MMS service through which the message is being sent. The Nokia document that Marty reference is a good one, but it gives a perspective that is Nokia specific. Generally speaking, you are going to use one of the following interfaces: 1.) Compile the MMS message into a binary "application/vnd.wap.mms-message" MIME type (MMS Encapsulation defined by the Open Mobile Alliance). Submit this message to an MMSC via HTTP using the Nokia EAIF interface, or via WSP (WSP = WAP's Wireless Session Protocol) using the MM1 interface. 2.) Package the MMS content into XML/SOAP content according to the MM7 protocol defined by the 3GPP. HTTP is used to transmit the message to an MMSC or MMS service provider. 3.) Package the MMS content into a multipart MIME message in SMTP e-mail format. SMTP is used to transmit the message to an MMSC or MMS service provider. You can find some details and references to these formats in the documentation for our MMSC/MMS gateway at the following URL: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Submitting_MMS_Messages.htm | |||
