"Google is slowly but surely taking over your life." I sure hope that is tongue-in-cheek. Even if it isn't, if it had said "Microsoft is slowly but surely taking over your life", There would be no end to the righteous indignation and flames. I remember when Apple was the anti-establishment champion (1984) and look at them now. What is the saying, power corrupts and absolute power.......
Where's the iPod icon?
There is no way this is going to benefit the consumer. Right now I would expect that AT&T already can and does throttle users that exceed 5G per month. Regardless of what you say, the contract you signed says that is 'unlimited', and they can do that. Am I right? Do we have gluttonous users out there that have hit their 5G? What happens? So would tell me they can't support the traffic that exists now. If you simply charge less for less usage, i.e. below 5G, in some tiered approach, AT&T will just get less money, if nobody changes a thing. Same data usage, less revenue. Unless you believe that there are really enough excessive users that their extra cost for data above 5G will offset this. I don't believe that. Not requiring data plans doesn't help. You just lose the revenue from those likely not causing the problem in the first place. The only thing they can do is try to get you to use less data, in a way that doesn't cost them money, in minutes, texts, apps, etc. Can't see any option there that isn't going to be bad for me. I'm a very light data user, and I just see myself paying more for exactly the same thing I'm doing now, because there are too many folks in big metro areas using too much data for the network there.

I sort of liked the idea of taking all those folks that are the data hogs, and setting them up on another carrier.

And this to people who have bought unlimited monthly bus passes.
Yup, sitting here with my abandoned Axims and abandoned Dell Jukebox, convinced they are in this for the long haul.
@Endadget DefPoet doesn't mention where he/she lives, though mentions it is cold in Finland. Where I live, I darn sure wear gloves when it is +15° F, and it is a pain to have to take them off to even answer my iPhone. The screen on my resistive HTC Pure is easily as responsive as my iPhone's, BTW.
Could stand another one of these as a gift.
Gotta give this one a go.
OMG, it's my favorite color. It would match the cover on my iPhone.
Got 80% of it on there already. Just missing the voice.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
