I wondered when this was going happen. They must be thinking of the "Wac-A-Gopher game. I just love it.

A great way to avoid all those RIAA/MPAA trolls lurking on the Internet spying on "Your" data links with your friends. Aren't all your friends somewhere close by? |

"Download speeds are about twice as fast for those people using the AT&T EDGE network rather than a standard Wi-Fi connection."
Either the program was designed to throttle the faster connection, or DSLReports got it all wrong. |

Here, I have G enabled and can send/recieve at 22-24mbps.
Trust me, MP3s are a bit faster than 3 minutes. 3-4 seconds maybe.

Look at that contract it said email/web unlimited. If people make a habit of this AT&T could begin to enforce that.

Not really. From the AT&T EULA;

PROHIBITED USES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, USING SERVICES: (I) WITH SERVER DEVICES OR WITH HOST COMPUTER APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WEB CAMERA POSTS OR BROADCASTS, CONTINUOUS JPEG FILE TRANSFERS, AUTOMATIC DATA FEEDS, TELEMETRY APPLICATIONS, PEER-TO-PEER (P2P) FILE SHARING, AUTOMATED FUNCTIONS OR ANY OTHER MACHINE-TO-MACHINE APPLICATIONS; |

Re: Service Charges on Edge
Hmmm... Generally folks that are using unlocked phones are not using AT&T either... Guess AT&T's TOS don't apply in that case... |

Its a interesting idea but its a waste of battery life. This is best left on your own computer if your going to do it.

Yeah, I think "Filesharing on Jailbroken Phones" would have been a better headline.  |

Considering this is about unlocked iPhones, does T-Mobile have a similar clause? |

Re: Mistake?
I want to know on what planet is AT&T EDGE speed twice as fast as even the crappiest WiFi connection.
Whoever wrote that statement has obviously never used either AT&T EDGE or a WiFi connection. Out in the boonies, I have been forced to use a few long distance very low signal strength WiFi connections, but even the worst of them still beat using an AT&T EDGE connection (which I only use if I really, really need internet access and nothing else is available).

Hmmm.. Guess that means not using the built-in GPS offerings on the I-Phone, eh? I.E. Google Maps.
Interesting.

Wifi is an int resting creature. Anything could have affected that transfer. Also consider that processing power of the iphone. Files will transfer faster on your laptop than your mobile device due to the processing power of your device and how fast it can shove it in and out of ram.
I would be really surprised if you could transfer ~5MB of data in 3-4 seconds to your iphone over 802.11g. I would have to estimate, maybe 10-25 seconds. And that's a rough estimate. Just my thoughts. |
