Only free up to 100MB it seems, and that's just about nothing.

That's more than enough for web browsing sans video (which will have to be over WiFi).

I don't think this will be very popular, its a nice idea and all, but I just don't see it taking off. A lot of poor people might buy it I guess. ;/

Hardly. I've mounted 400MB since April 24th on my phone and I use it for almost nothing but MC, a few other sites, and weather.

Yes, it's web only. That means you can email, chat, edit documents/spreadsheets, watch videos, play games, listen to music, etc.
99% of what people use their computer for on the web. What do you want?

Do you not understand when I point out the BANDWIDTH CAPS? You know, the ones where you must pay overage if you use too much data?

You have not used over 400MB on MC and a few other sites. MC is text and a few pictures, ditto for a weather site. Your leaving out something, large videos, or something else.
Remember: The Verizon part is only for when you don't have access to WiFi. If you are at home, at a coffee shop, near any open WiFi, at an airport, (possibly) at work, or many other places you don't have to dip into your monthly 100MB.

How often are you out of WiFi rannge? What would you be doing that required using more than 100MB?

You know, you're REALLY beginning to sound like a Google shill.
If you want to know, it's downloads and porn.

Hm. You're right.
I left out a single video I looked up a week ago. The Sith Progression for SWTOR in 320p, and I doubt that was any huge part of that 400MB.

It does, I am using it right now.

Why can't bandwidth caps just be outlawed already?

The free 3G 100 MB would be probably be enough for people to keep up on their email and such when they're away from a WIFI source, its not intended to be the sole provider.
Anywho no ones talking about the OS itself, or how popular this might, or might not become.

It has offline support too. Download your messages/documents at WiFi, even some news sites support it.
I'm sure it will be very popular, especially because of the optional $20/month plan. A lot of people aren't very good at saving money, and so this will make it seem like a much better option.
The average user will love it, the power user will pass it up.
