Our Mobile Data Usage
Category: mobile

I can get up to 3GB per month. I think it is because I listen to a lot of streaming radio and because my phone can multitask letting me leave the music on while I do other things. (e:matthew) uses about 1.5GB. (e:terry) on the other hand uses almost nothing. So far this month he has used 105MB.

As for text messages, he uses the most.I can't believe how many text messages he uses and it is only the 18th.

I don't text at all... I find it to be cumbersome. But then, I don't really call anyone either and around 5 people have my phone number.

I wonder if video chat will pick up with all these new video phones. I doubt it because it seems like people always favor the low bandwidth, low commitment, no preparation, plenty of time for thinking over a response style communication that comes with textmessaging. I mean you never have to comb your hair or put on clothes for text messaging.

I mean its the same with regular online chatting. There has been widespread, universal video chat capabilities for about 10 years via aim, yahoo, skype, msn, etc and I barely use it.

Just changed my plan - less talk, more text. :-)

I'm glad you posted this - it reminded me to check my usage. I'm currently on a 500 txt/mo plan (verizon-to-verizon is free) but since school ended I've been texting constantly and now am at 87% of my allowance for this month and still have five days left. My number 1 texter: (e:TERRY)! @34% of total. Phone usage: 99 min out of 900. <sigh>

Exactly why i left the ios devices
Category: crapple

I found myself in these type of situations all the time.

Everyone always brags about how easy it is to use apple products. Half the time, easy just means no options. The lack of file upload in the browser disgusts me. It has nothing to do with technological boundaries and everything to do with making more money by selling more apps with custom upload interfaces. I can't believe their own mobile me site doesn't work from the ipad browser.

privacy nightmare on droid incredible
Category: mobile

I wonder why they did this?

Check out :"Droid Incredible saves browser screenshots to internal memory, turns into a privacy nightmare?"

Safari does something similar with the top site page. The purpose is to display images of the site as a bookmark instead of text links.

That blows my mind. What could possibly be the utility of such a thing? Some widget makers must have sinister motives.
