My iPhone Data Usage: November 2009 - April 201

I recently took the time to look at my iPhone data usage according to AT&T. This would be data usage on their network and not over WiFi. It seems I've peak at 340 MB. I make an effort to always use trusted WiFi when possible. Its clear from this that the more I travel, the more AT&T data access I use. However, I'm still well below 1 Gig. I could probably save money on a limited plan, but darn it, its nice not to think/worry about usage limits.

Earthquake Survivor Calls iPhone a Life Saver

There you have it. IPhones saves lives.

But I want to know, if he was stuck under the rubble for 65 hours, what did he use the iPhone for the remaining 55 hours after its battery died? Maybe God really was with him extending the iPhone battery - much like He did with the oil and the lamp - miracle of Hanukah-style. Kidding aside, this is a great story of survival. Our hearts go out to all those in Haiti.

jwz - Dear Palm, it's just not working out.

Believe it or not, this actually has nothing to do with my utterly nightmarish experience of trying to get my applications into Palm's app catalog, and everything to do with the fact that the phone is just a constant pain to use.

Jamie Zawinski, JWZ, of Netscape and Mozilla fame (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Zawinski) has abandoned his Palm Pre and bought an iPhone. His blog post outlines exactly why.
