If I had done that on my old AT&T pre-iPhone plan's ridiculous data rate of 10¢ per kilobyte, that would have cost me an astounding $1,065 a day... or $129,930 for the 122 days I've owned my iPhone!
Color me shocked!
and I've talked on it 8 days, 8 hours...
In my case, a lot of my regularly checked bookmarks tend to be preset google news searches. If a lot of others are doing that, it would tend to show up on their graphs. IOW, instead of typing in new searches all day, I just click my saved bookmark buttons whenever I’m bored and since it is a new search every time I click it, that’s probably what they are seeing on the graph end. The iPhone really is the most wonderful pocket sized gadget/toy ever invented!
Swordmacher,
I was back on another extended road trip. WiFi is so frustrating. It is nice to see starbucks offering free WiFi in the future. Most frustrating are the number of airports not offering free WiFi.
I had a free morning and spend a few hours in an Apple store checking out Leopard, iLife and MacAir.
Observations:
MacAir is an amazing computer. Seemed plenty fast and amazingly light. The screen and keyboard are a definite step up. The USB port is a bit recessed to I’m not sure all USB device will fit (Verizon USB wireless adaptor). Also forget using your old chargers and any video cables.
I would gladly forgive these transgressions if MacAir came with a 3G or even 2.5G chip set and $20 data plan. In lieu of this it would be nice if once the iPhone SDK came out somebody would turn the iPhone into a bridge: Mac -> iPhone -> carrier network.
I am constantly trying to find a way to get my Rush 24/7 podcasts without finding a WiFi hotspot.
iMovie8 is a step backwards. Time to get FCE for even minor editing.
iWeb is an improvement but they need an iWebPro which would facilitate more advanced programming with PHP, MySQL etc.
I love the education you get no matter your level of experience you can get by talking to the people that work in the store.
AppleInsider reports that Google has seen 50 times more search requests coming from Apple iPhones than any other mobile handset. They were so shocked, in fact, that they suspected that they had made an error tabulating their data. ... In related news Rene Obermann, CEO of Deutsche Telekom AG, says iPhone is driving up average wireless data usage as much as 30 times higher than on other phones. The average Internet usage for an iPhone customer is more than 100 MBytes. Which is 30 times the use for their average contract-based consumer. AT&T's announcement of new business and international roaming plans and their replacement of T-Mobile as the Wifi provider at 7,000 U.S. company-owned Starbucks stores nationwide should only accelerate data usage in the months to come.I don't understand this at all. I mean, how much porno can one enjoy in a public place without getting arrested? And on that little screen? ;')
Apple keeps making these stupid over priced products that no one will buy or use.. and they will fail !!
