Multimedia Messaging with WMA 2.0
The major addition in the WMA 2.0 API is the availability of multipart messages. Multipart
messages are specially designed to support the new Multimedia Message Service. MMS is
frequently found in 2.5G and 3G phone networks.
Essentially, MMS enables you to send and receive large binary messages in a manner
similar to SMS. The messages supported can contain multiple message parts; each of the parts
can contain text, an image, an audio clip, a video clip, or other multimedia content. For example,
a complete multimedia presentation can be sent in a single MMS, containing a SMIL script and
the individual media elements referenced by the presentation.
At the time of writing, there are very few phones supporting WMA 2.0. Since 2.5G and 3G
networks are not yet in widespread deployment, the availability of MMS is still scarce.
