Nice article. Very interesting to say the least. Not sure why the hullabaloo over the authors credentials though? He is basically reporting someone elses findings. Thanks for the link.
I never deem anything a failure. However even you can't deny that if ATT caps iPhone data and Apple needs to go to TMobile which is the only place they can go besides ATT that doesn't exactly spell a great future. At least in the US.
Is that really the strongest point of the argument that you've been backed into? IF ATT caps iPhone data and IF Apple NEEDS to go to TMobile....
If those are your strongest points, the big guns you bring out when cornered, you're pretty much done. As a HEAVY iPhone user (Exchange server, maps all the time, downloading podcasts over 3G most days), my current iPhone stats show 10.8 GB of data downloaded in the past 15 months. IF ATT caps iPhone users to 2GB or higher, I won't bat an eyelash and either will 99% of non-jailbroken iPhone users.
That's what, #1 in customer satisfaction 6 years in a row now? Record Mac sales quarter after quarter going back to at least 2008 with notebooks in the lead?
You're either posting misinformation because you're ignorant, or you are lying outright. So which is it?
When the majority of your customers are brainwashed and pretty much overlook any fault its easy to keep a high customer rating. That tells me nothing.
By the way what am I lying about. I know you get really upset easy so try to calm down and just remember we are talking about a cellphone.

Time to give it up.
Sorry but its a fact that ATT has strongly suggested they will cap the iPhone. That isn't some myth I made up. Apple can only go to TMobile because Verizon will not have them and neither will Sprint. If you think ATT network is bad you need to check out the stellar coverage TMobile has...lol
"I won't bat an eyelash and either will 99% of non-jailbroken iPhone users."
Is that funny these are the same people that flip out when someone talkings about breaking EULA with OSX. Funny how selective some Apple users can be when it comes to that. I guess there are different types of stealing.
For the past two years half of the Macs sold were to people buying their first Mac. Are you proposing that the only way Apple can sell computers is to brain wash people? How exactly does Apple do that?
I guarantee you any company would pay you big money if you could explain it to them.

I see no delusions here. Just amazing results for an amazing product. And the better the iPhone does, the louder the haters, the envious, "the award-winning creative directors" and the just plain frustrated will scream.
You are taking what AT&T said out of its proper context.
The proper context is that AT&T's data usage has risen 5000% year over year and taxing its network. AT&T wants to discourage those use excessive bandwidth. Its likely the majority of those who use excessive bandwidth are people tethering their iPhones.

Yeah but you are in the deep dark woods in Canada. You guys are use to settling for things like socialized medicine. A data cap and an overpriced contract is nothing for you guys.
For someone from Georgia to say that is classic. You guys are an Atlanta away from being a West Virginia.. bahaa.
anyways- You have no idea what you are talking about, and are lucky people give you the time of day with pertinent info.
Some people open up and learn, and some people clam up and hold onto their ignorance with a death grip. have fun with that skater. I doubt you're an "extreme" skater.. unless you are a mountain dew brainwashed advertising patsy.

Seriously, get help or counseling. To worship an inanimate object and compare it to Jesus is Very Disturbing.

There are endless people in the IT world enshrined with accolades unwarranted. Nothing new with this one either.
Nothing wreaks of pathetic more than you posting the man's own footnote of self aggrandizement.
Apple sux! You need proof? Look at their miniscule global market share!
Wait, what? People are buying iPhones in not insignificant numbers? Well, it must be because those people are insane, delusional or brain-washed! Because "Apple sux" is a bedrock article of faith, which cannot change. Therefore, phenomena in the world must be rearranged to account for whatever success this horrible, loathsome company may come by.
In this way I prove Apple customers are irrational zealots.

Why would I scream. If I wanted an iPhone I would simply go and buy one. Am I not allowed to buy one? If that force field still up around the Apple store? Yet again to sure why I should feel like screaming for should be jealous? Your the one that seems to be losing it at the thread go on.
They DO, however, mean something to everyone else and the entire industry. Which is really all that matters.
I suppose being relegated almost overnight to somewhere barely perceptible in the "Others" row after spending years in the top spots means nothing to MS, either.

We're really disappointed. In fact, we're so disappointed that we just keep buying Macs.

Yup. If Apple customers are so satisfied, year after year, they MUST be brainwashed!
Seems Apple products are just that good that we're wiling to overlook some of their faults in favour of the benefits. Wow, well that IS impressive!
You post BS, I post facts, numbers, trends. The things you like to ignore.

Google envy.
If only there were something to be envious about. Perhaps when the Google?Android?HTC? phone is actually released, we will.

Actually, most of the industry analysts agree that Android will surpass Apple in the mobile phone arena in 2010. Do your research.
This is based on the number of mobile manufactures introducing Android on all networks worldwide.
