As I was introducing the mobile platform to some of our coworkers last week, I really was blown away by the iPhone. Not the technology, but how Apple has managed to make people adopt a data plan.

First I asked for a show of hands to see who has a data plan, a few hands came up. Then I asked who has an iPhone, some hands came up.

Then I asked, who has a data plan, but no iPhone? Silence.

I remember back in the early 2000s, T-Mobile tried so hard to sell me a data plan. However it simply was not justifiable. “You can check your local weather” wasn’t too exciting. How things have changed.

Time for me to find a few phones to test out our system.
