Wow – where did that come from? My use of the phrase 'blinded by science' was mostly in jest. I think the point was more that there are a large number of iPhone users who neither understand, nor want to understand, how the 'information superhighway' flows or what work goes into making it flow. They just want MMS, and tethering. I think that's probably what both Shobizz and I were referencing. I'm pretty sure neither of us found the video to be over our head. Oh, and I am certain I understood all the words, and did not need to infer a meaning anywhere, thanks.

If this video was over your head, you need to pull your head out of your ass and go back to school.

Hell, they broke it down for you with traffic metaphors and pretty pictures in the background. What else do you want? Puppets or something?

I agree that it did feel a little like an attempt to go all 'blinded by science' on us. But I do buy the part about iPhone being a 'special case' in these areas. I think throughout it's three generations, iPhone users have been proven to be much, much heavier users of everything on their phones – much bigger users of a mobile browser, of mobile apps. Even mobile uploads to YouTube went up by some huge %age after just a couple weeks of the 3GS launching. And I do believe that once MMS is out on the iPhone for a bit, we'll end up seeing stats that say the usage rate is ginormous compared to other smartphones as well.

It will be interesting to see if all this preparation and investment and talk lead to the network handling it well.

I'm also not a big user of SMS – and I'm not too fussed, in terms of my own usage, about MMS or tethering. I do feel as if it is an important thing for AT&T to get right though, to show their real commitment and ability to handle the iPhone going forward.

aflorence – sorry for the aggro with deleted comments. There are a series of words that are 'blacklisted' by the Intense Debate comments system – they include terms like cash, mortgage, lots of casino / gambling terms, and lots of ED type terms. I don't know of any other reason your comments would be getting auto-deleted. It's definitely not any of us doing it as moderators.
