There is a diligent internet historian with a natural talent for collecting facts and weaving together stories who is archiving this furiously right now. In a few years, the movie rights to his book will be worth millions.
While it's not free ($.99), I highly recommend AppSniper for those who don't have it. It's great for cheap bastards like me since one of the functions organizes all App Store apps that are temporarily discounted/free.
They're in a tough spot, need customers to pay more money (either because of the nature of the market or through their own idiotic mistakes). It's not like tiered or metered pricing is unheard of...
But I'd be a whole lot more inclined to listen to these asstards if somebody would just come out and say "Look, we said 'unlimited' when we sold data plans. That was a mistake. We didn't realize how much data folks would use. We're sorry."
That's what gets me. When you offer someone $30/month for "unlimited data", then, when they use a lot of data, you think they're the ones who need an "education" (which they've hinted at elsewhere, also).
Jackasses. Every last one of them. Dudes, own your mistakes and we'll be a lot more cool.
AT&T needs to realize that their exclusivity is almost near at end. A lot of users including me will leave if AT&T doesn't carry iphone exclusively.
They need to focus on how to improve their network and stop thinking of way to reduce usages on their consumers. Look at what sprint did few years ago and now what is happening.
Thanks! After getting this iPhone I've become a bit more enthusiastic about finding new stuff for it, but after also jailbreaking it, it's downright addictive.
Hummmm…
It might rest on your shoulder nicely like that. Perhaps this odd device does have a place in this world. Cheap, hands free talking; just like in the old days when you held the phone between your shoulder and your ear while cooking dinner.
Most arguments against browser apps comes from a position of being completely uninformed.
With some of the features included in mobile Safari, it is possible to make a webapp completely indistinguishable from a native app.
There are a few exceptions to the rule, but this is an example of something that is just as easy to produce as a webapp.
Don't believe me? Go research: cache manifests, local databases, css transitions.
What it really boils down to is that most programmers are too lazy, or too incompetent to produce a good webapp. And, consumers are all too eager to cede as much control and transparency as possible.

Haven't gotten many useful attachments in general though. A FM adapter is about all I remember hearing about.
