> downloading files, streaming music and watching videos should be done on your home broadband. You know, those things that people bought their shiny new iPhone or Android handset specifically to do.
I am one of these people and I do not download files, stream music or watch videos on the iPhone. I do use it extensively including the Internet browsing over 3G and never had my monthly usage go over few hundred megs.
Being a busy adult I also suspect that I am actually in the majority here. Just sayin'
Heaven forbid that people use their phones to do multimedia things! Who needs advances like being able to catch up on TV news while on your way to work, or using a smart DJ service like Pandora? Or even sneaking in last night's episode of [insert show here] on a particularly long commute?
Pshaw, clearly all of that is just for bored teenagers. No reasonably effective, busy adult would have use for anything but HTML and email!
Sorry for the snarky tone, but your implication that busy adults have no need for all of these data-intensive apps is somewhat insulting.
The Pandora app is great if, like me, you don't have satellite radio in your car and sometimes don't enjoy whatever's on NPR. If you have a specific song you want to play for someone, youtube is indispensible.

Huh, whoever downvoted the above comment care to explain why you did that?
