One huge oversight. Alot of apps now and days request internet permissions. Lots of background data, even notifications. Its more like 250mb a week.

If I want to use my tablet while out and about, I’ll hook it up to my phone’s hotspot (included in Verizon shared data plans)… I don’t need to spend an extra $200. I’d rather spend that on more data, if anything.

My sarcasm is fine, clearly your comprehension isn’t.

You do realize it’s the “same” internet you’re connecting to regardless of whether you are connecting via your cell phone’s wireless or your own home Wifi, right?

I am pretty sure the 3GB data plan from AT&T is their standard $30 a month plan. It will not be an additional $30 a year.

You should have wifi if you are taking a crap. The 250 is meant for small usefull moments while outside of wifi. I do agree AT&T will make out on this, cause this thing is going to sell like hot cakes to the non tech world.

Who is using < 250MB/month on LTE? 250MB is < 5 minutes of data at LTE speeds.

But 2 hour movies are gonna run over 250 mb especially in hd on 4g, because the people getting the data plans more than likely don’t have wifi at home.

The way its worded on Amazon.com it sounds like this is just a one year promotion. I did not watch their unveiling, did they say whether or not this was a yearly deal? Meaning $50 a year every year.

Dirt cheap data isn’t valuable when you receive a proportional amount of data in return! 250mb is only enough to check emails with. I’d be amazed when you pay $50 and he a 2gb monthly allowance. Or maybe the you pay $10 a month and get unlimited data. Then I’ll be amazed.

Just goes to show you how much $$$ carriers make from those of us with data plans. Oh yeah, but their tiered data is what’s best for the customer.

Use your phone for wifi at home and tablet for data on the road an extra 6 bucks for 2-10 gigs is worth it
