That was mentioned in the article.  What was also stated is that quite a few
owners of the iPhone and now the iPad do not update via their computer. 
Whether it's because they think it's easier to do it directly from the device
or simply don't know how to sync using iTunes, was not specified.  One thing is
for sure, those that do their updating directly from the device are going to
have to watch their usage.  The overage fees that AT&T charge are ridiculous. 
(Not any different from other carriers though)

Any rumors about a new iMac line to appear sometime this month?  My son has
promised a new iMac for the ministry - but I told him to hold off for a bit.

Regards.
