I have issues with the 3g data service during peak hours. When driving home last night at 11:30pm I was able to stream Pandora the whole way over 3G. Trying the same thing at 5pm or during my morning commute just does not work. It just consistently times out.
The iPhone is really amazing but the 'challenging' thing about is that it creates a higher expectation and need for consistent service. If you have a full HTML browser and you have 3g you expect a consistently faster / better experience. Anything less leaves you disappointed. Comparing this to my old BlackBerry 8700, I was just excited that I could render Woot in 30 seconds and make out what the product was. With the iPhone, I expect it to render in 10 seconds and to look like my desktop. Anything less is disappointing because of my increased expectations.

I am facing a simliar problem and for the interim we used Access for the front end and a SQL server for the back. Since MS distributed the Access runtime for free, we can minimize deployment costs. I believe you can just add ODBC references for MySQL to Access to hold the data. This is a descent solution in a LAN environment. If you have any remote location that don't access via Terminal server or Citrix pulling any data across will be painful.
The advertising revenue is huge. What else does a media giant do but sell advertising on it assets. They can tailor to the advertisers needs more effectively and probably more sucessfully than a TV commercial.
Think about broadband. What will the ads look like in 3 years streaming @ 100/Kbs?

we use this for all our ppt presentations and it works perfectly. we have the $129 model.
we use this everyday at my office to automate / consolidate information from various investors and then send them out via pdf. It works pretty well, but its not too fast..

This is completely accurate.

very well said. I have a ton of friends who think that they deserve $70K a year right out of school.
Just like everything else in life you have to put in your time before you get results.
Just suck it up and realize your in the real world now.

in case Google gets Slashdotted? if /. can bring down Google it has bigger problems than the logistics of the competition
