Andre – how are you linking Apple stock increase/decrease to a mortgage and real-esate issue ("Subprime meltdown)?

Those two aren't linked at all?!?

IPhone users are accessing the Internet 50xs more than on other phones. Gee what does that mean? It means iPhone users are using the hell out if their iPhones. How could that be? I thought the iPhone was supposed to be a useless paper weight in a pretty box that people bought to be cool.

Philip,

You do realize the entire premise of your blog is flawed because AT&T does not charge extra for more data used.

There is a flat fee of 20.00 for unlimited data.

George

ex ped: Well, maybe not the entire premise. But you (and the others who commented on it) are right about AT&T. I've taken that sentence out of the post.

"AT&T (T) has said that its revenue per iPhone user is nearly double that of the average customer because iPhone users tended to sign up for large data packages on top of their voice calls. And in December, O2 reported that more than 60% of iPhone users use over 25mb/month of data, while only 1.8% of O2’s non-iPhone customers go over that mark."

Actually, iPhone users signed up with AT&T are required to get the $20 unlimited data package, which is the only one they offer. You can't not sign up for it or get a bigger package.

PED: The last paragraph doesn't sound right somehow.

All of the AT&T iPhone plans come with unlimited data for a flat fee of $20. In fact, that data plan is more or less mandatory. You can increase the number of minutes and the number of text messages. So does saying that iPhone users tend to sign up large data packages imply that users of other data-capable phones on AT&T don't sign up for them?
