Am I the only person who’s had a problem with the iTunes App Store’s handling of updates at times? Sometimes it will tell me it has an update, I’ll install it, then it’ll tell me an update is available for the same version of the same app. It’s frustrating and makes me wonder if I’m downloading anything at all, or if the old version’s still the one being downloaded from Apple and the version data changed, causing iTunes to get confused. Another issue I have with the App Store is that updates shoud be skippable. Sometimes, updates to applications bring more problems than they do solutions and you want to downgrade. Yes, this can be done using Time Machine to recover the backup, but I’m still going to be told I have an update and I just hate seeing that badge and not being able to dismiss it.

“Apple has generated major revenue and margin growth based on its iPhone business — while AT&T largely has been unable to cash in on the growth in data services beyond monthly access fees,” said Jagdish Rebello, PhD, senior director and principal analyst for iSuppli. “This is making it difficult for AT&T to make the required investments to upgrade its network to support greater bandwidth. The net result is a deterioration in the mobile broadband user experience.”

This is a very interesting post regarding AT&T’s issue with high bandwidth users. I recommend giving it a read. I do agree that AT&T gets the shorter stick out of such a deal. Unfortunately, it’s tough to charge more for your service unless you charge more for everyone. “Unlimited” should be just that.
