Re: T-Mobile set 1GB G1 3G cap: threaten throttling for heavy users
Sending bar codes and getting back useful data about where the item is priced lower; using GasBuddy et al to find out where low gas prices are; reading mail; checking calendars; checking news feeds; watching some YouTube videos while waiting in line; streaming MP3s and video... you know, all the functions the device was meant to do, all of these take bandwidth. I think that a lot of people will hit 1gb/month without even trying if they're using Android as it was designed.
I blame

for most programming problems.

I can definitely agree with that... Especially if you are purchasing a ton of music off the Amazon site... That can add up pretty quick.

Watching old episodes of your favorite TV series will eat up your bandwidth too. That is if you're viewing from the show's website.

Again, you will not be able to download any music from Amazon over 3G. That's part of the TOS. All Amazon store downloads will have to be done over WiFi, thus not affecting the "cap".
(Need to find the source for this I think...anyone have a link?)

Oh really? Wow, I was def not aware of that. Are they blocking you from certain sites and services then? Interesting...
Re: T-Mobile set 1GB G1 3G cap: threaten throttling for heavy users
No, they're not blocking sites and services. They're limiting the use of their Amazon application. But I have just found that you WILL be able to browse the site and listen to samples over 3G, which could definitely eat into your cap, but you will have to be on WiFi to download. I wonder if they will have a queuing feature built in?

I see. Now, do you know if there will be an app that will keep track of all of our 3g usage from month to month? I hope so...
