Almost 3 months on from purchasing an iPhone I recently reset the data counter back to zero. Since July 11th about about 900mb of data flowed into it, and out of the technological marvel. The data limit set by O2 is 1GB per month, so I doubt I’ll ever reach that, unless I deliberately try.

There are probably thousands more like me on the O2 network who will never get anywhere near the limit either. This makes me wonder why bother having a limit at all? 3 months from the 3G launch, O2 has enough usage information to review the data limitation. It must surely be time to give Irish users the same benefits as our UK neighbours. People aren’t suddenly going to start abusing the network if the data cap was removed. Or, maybe that’s exactly what O2 is afraid of?

The data cap was one of the concerns raised by many people before the launch. A good proportion of those overlooked those concerns, swallowed their pride and still bought. That means there are lots more still hanging about on the sidelines, watching and waiting. Although they will probably never reach the 1GB limit either, the mere fact the limit is there at all is putting them off.

Perhaps we will hear an announcement in the next few weeks about this, in time for the Christmas market? It would be a very welcome development and go some way to restoring O2’s somewhat damaged reputation surround the launch and subsequent supply issues.

iPhone Gelaskins Giveaway!!

I have a bunch (a bunch of 3 to be precise) of really really cool iPhone skins from Gelaskins to give away. They protect the device whilst keeping the sleek feel. Much better than any bulky cover in my opinion + they are very arty and eye catching. I have one and love it, and I’m probably the fussiest so and so’s when it comes to gadgets and keeping them pristeen.

Check out the range on Gelaskins.com and if you’d like one all you have to do is leave a ‘lil ole comment below with what your favourite iPhone app is and why AND what app you would really love to see.

Me? My favourite right now is Flycast and the app I would dearly love to see is a regular radio tuner and also flash capability. Don’t think a radio tuner is possible though, or it would have been done already?

More than 3 comments, it will be a random draw. Less than 3 comments, well I think I’ll give up on the blogging lark.
