Glenn Fleishman of TidBITS has posted an excellent article that supports my customer lock-in hypothesis.
Fleishman also notes that iPhone users will need WiFi's speed when downloading movies and TV shows to their phones. GSM, the mobile phone technology that is used by AT&T; and the iPhone, is too slow.
Glenn estimates that a 2 hour movie would download in about 9 minutes on a fast WiFi connection, compared to an hour or more with AT&T;'s fastest GSM connection.
He also has some nice information about AT&T;'s pricing model for WiFi customers.
Glenn claims that the Starbucks sandwich ovens are being removed to accommodate more coffee-making equipment behind each counter.
