The Reader

Rick, yes, I would not want a solo diet of iPhone-sized movie watching, but there are times it is good. Like on a plane that is showing the same episode of "The Office" (which I hate) for the 100th time, dining solo in a strange town, in the doctor's waiting room. That way I can at least bring my own choice of content.

Kelly, so now streaming content over cellular makes sense to you. What happened to the data overage charges on your AT&T account, to change your mind in 4.5 hours? I had not sent off my earlier response to that. BTW, at the moment streaming movies to your laptop is free, why should it be an add-on to the iPhone? I don't see any mention of a charge to view on the iPad.
