I wonder if malware will include anything that will cause too much traffic for AT&T. The app I most want is a one-touch wifi hotspot -- start it up, and all your laptops can share internet access over EDGE. Perfect for vacation, or hanging out at a wifi-less coffee shop.
I bet AT&T said, when we meant unlimited data, we didn't mean UNLIMITED data.
Huh? I have a Treo 600 with Sprint and no data plan. When I first got a Treo 300 through Sprint it had a "2 month free trial" data plan-- which I canceled after 2 months. I later replaced it with a series of treo 600s I've bought on ebay, and have activated without a data plan requirement.
Just call them and cancel it.
The Shinkansen in Japan use lots of small motors distributed among the cars. This gives them
excellent acceleration (important when stations are close together), but results in higher maintenance costs. Another problem is that it requires high voltage electricity (25KV) at every car; the Shinkansen solved this by putting a pantograph ( the spring-loaded contact bar that touches the overhead wire ) on every two cars -- and this increased the wear rates on the wire. French engineers considered these extra costs when the developed the TGV. Most subways use motors per car as well, but wear is less of an issue when contacting a third rail, and the 600volts used is much easier to handle.
