ArcSoft MMS is a third party application that adds a new inbox to your messaging. While it works well, its not quite as smooth and well integrated as the "real" messaging is. For example, when composing an MMS using Arcsoft, you can't start typing the person's name and have it pull the rest of the number automatically like you can with the text or email composing screens.
It appears that what MS and Sprint are working on is a more native support for CDMA handsets, that will integrate better with the system.

SomeGuy MMS (sMMS) is even further removed from a native app... his app is just a fancy "skin" for the picture messaging web site that you could have logged directly into all this time from pocket internet explorer. If the website doesn't work, his application won't either. It also has absolutely NO INTEGRATION INTO THE OS OR MESSAGING AT ALL. That means that when you click send from the camera menu or HTC Album, you can't select smms and start composing since its not a messaging box.

Sprint TV for smartphones already exists. It was all over the net at first because it worked on ANY PPC device due to lack of security (people on ATT, T-mobile, heck even Orange in europe were able to install and watch free TV content at the cost of Sprint's servers). So, now they locked it down to only work on new devices that they can monitor, such as the Touch.
