iPad 20MB limit over 3G?

Is this limit also imposed on the iPhone 4S, I have put my name down for my first Apple device ... , not that it is a hardship, as wireless works where available but ja ...
 
Its weird how the iPad 2 costs so much (over R4000), but you still have to do things like jail breaking your iPad 2 or following complicated steps (as mentioned by the vodacom rep above) just to get more apps. Why buy iPad 2 if it is this annoying with apps?

It's not general browsing though or normal HTTP.

It's the App Store (purchases or upgrades), Facetime and I think Newstand too (on the iPad anyhow)

Is using one's cell phone as a personal hotspot complicated?

Personally I think this 20mb limitation issue is being blown totally out of proportion.

There half a dozen incredibly easy workarounds to circumvent the restrictions. Pick one and get on with your life :)

Yes, but they cost you money, and inconvience, that should not be ... , not at the premium price you pay for Apple products, if it was happening on a Telefunken tablette, then ja, well, no, fine ...

You pay more for a Samsung tablet and the restrictions exist on Amazon's android market too so your point is moot...

Using your phone as a hotspot is not that complicated, but not all phones has this feature and I don't have a data sim in my phone. Really inconvenient for me as I don't have a micro sim adapter to do the whole swapping of sim this, and then I also don't want to do that.

I don't think its being blown out of proportion, as it is a mobile device, but it doesn't want to work to its full potential on our mobile network which isn't a limitation of the hardware itself, but a choice by the manufacturer.

I don't have wifi at my office or when I am travelling, so there isn't a work around for me until a jailbreak comes out for iOS 5.

Yes, it does. But at least there you have an alternative. I don't even have the Amazon market and I would think most android users don't either. It came out default with the normal market which works over 3G.

I am currently seriously thinking of getting a iphone 4s or galaxy nexus just so that I can get the micro sim into a phone so I can create a hotspot (And the fact that I can flash my SGS anymore as I broke my mini usb and it can't be used as a flash drive anymore).

Android, has alternative marketplaces, and Wi-Fi access is not universely available or free, and why must the customer be forced to go to extra expense, and inconvience for a senseless limit, imposed by the phone manufacturer.
