Hi All,
It’s been a while since my last post so time for a run of some updates.
American telephony company AT&T has increased the download cap from 10mb to 20mb as long as you are using AT&T’s EDGE or 3G connection. Even though this will allow you to download larger files and a few more apps from the App store you will still need a WiFi connection for some padcasts and larger newspapers such as the NYT.
I’ve not heard any word on any of the UK companies following this cap increase yet but no doubt 02 will probably do it first as they have been there the longest. Vodafone will probably be last to follow suite as they don’t even offer unlimited internet with their packages yet, which I’m quite suprised at.
For now everone not in America on AT&T are still stuck with the good old 10mb for now.

Hi All,
Vodafone has made a large leap onto the iPhone cart selling 100,000 iPhones in the first week since they started selling it. Despite being 2 years late to join the iPhone market a lot of users have obviously been waiting for vodafone to catch up and it shows.
Vodafone had orders for 50,000 iphone in pre-orders alone and sold another 50,000 in the first week of sale. Huge expectations are expected once Vodafone start selling the iPhone on PAYG aswell.
Vodafone’s UK, CEO Guy Laurence, declared in a statement that “The demand from both consumer and business customers has been phenomenal. They want an outstanding phone on an outstanding network and we’re delivering that.”

It will be interesting to see who the big iPhone providers are in 6 months time from now, with Orange claiming to provide the best 3G cover in the UK, reputation that Vodafone has and the time 02 has had to build with their sales.
