-==iPhone Limitations==
-Hello again.  I prefer to maintain all communication within Wiki; much more practical.  Regarding sending images as text with a first or second generation iPhone, it is NOT possible.  I know this from personal experience because I own one.  Perhaps it is possible in the newest version, but the article related to the iPhone in general.   As such, your comment is incorrect.  Happy trails!  --[[User:NayadethFigueroa|NayadethFigueroa]] ([[User talk:NayadethFigueroa|talk]]) 05:44, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
