Have you read the latest on how AT&T is treating those of us hanging onto
our "unlimited" plans? (I do the same thing) I've seen demonstrations of
how they throttle your connection once you exceed about 2GB per month. You
pay as much as someone with a 3GB plan, but beyond 2.1GB or so, you get
rough
It's just my assumption, but I would think that the *vast* majority of
Android users leave in place whatever is on their device. It takes some
geek-ish effort to root, and most people want nothing to do with that.

I rooted my iPhone ONLY because I could tether it without having to pay YET

Point taken. But it should also be mentioned that Apple got rid of it's BSD

erm... not my experience with Apple at all! If you don't want updates, you can
tell Software Updates to not check! In fact even if it DOES check, you ALWAYS
have to enter a user and password to install them. In fact, one of my great

Some of us like being able to tailor our OS to our tastes and needs.
My stats are showing just over 60% of my app users are on Gingerbread, with
the rest spread between everything else. The paid apps tend to be more
weighted towards the later versions, and the free apps towards the earlier
ones, maybe the people with the newer phones are more willing to pay f

It is apparently not illegal to "jailbreak" or root an iPhone either, according
to fairly recent court decisions. However, rooting a device CAN void a
warranty, so be advised. And there are lots of places in the world where you
don't have to do anything technically illegal to be thrown in jail,
Wouldn't it be great if the Android market had one large agency powerful enough
to force the cell companies to keep the devices updated? That way people would
be able to just expect that the latest and greatest were available to them.
They would have to be able to control the hardware too of cou

Hi Joe,
Price varies wildly. I am on a medium city 20 minutes from Rio, I live
on the prime part of it, so I pay more than people who live 1 hour
away from me, a lot more.
A milk bottle with 1 liter will cost you about about USD 1,50
A pack of sliced bread will cost about USD 2,00
We pay heavy
Andre, for perspective: how much do basics such as bread and milk cost in
Brazil?
Thanks, Joe Wilkins

Unfortunately, here in Brazil there are a lot of Android 2.1 devices.
They are still popular because they are extremely cheap.
Brazilian cheap is not the same as U.S. or Europe cheap. For example
the iPhone 4 here costs 1000 USD with a contract, I don't want to
think what it would cost without a c
