Apple raises 3G download limit to 20MB
Apple has raised the maximum size of app downloads over a 3G connection to 20MB, in what developer site Appadvice says is preparation for the iPad launch.

In the past, iPhone app downloads were limited to less than 10MB over a 3G connection. If you wanted to download larger apps, you had to use Wi-Fi. This limitation may have been placed on the iPhone at the request of wireless carriers in an effort to preserve bandwidth.
iPad apps will be larger downloads, mainly because they will have to support higher-resolution graphics. New apps such as the iLife suite for the iPad will probably demand a large footprint.
Should Apple remove these restrictions completely? Or raise them more? Let use know what you think in the comments.
Updated 02/21/2010 at 5:05 PM PST: According to various sources limits have also been relaxed for all other media downloads available in the iTunes Store. We called Apple last week for confirmation, but Apple hasn't responded yet.
If you don't want Jobs & Co controlling how you use your device, grab a BlackBerry, WinMo, Android............ etc.

- Before I entered the Peace Corps, AT&T Wireless set up a "military suspension" to hold my account until I got back, and told me my phone was unlocked so I could use it in my assignment.

(6 Comments)Now I'm here but they are still billing me full price each month and my phone doesn't work. After a week of sending emails back and forth, they say Peace Corps is not eligible for the suspension and it is impossible to unlock the phone (they blamed that one on Apple). Both are the opposite of what they said before I left, and at a time I had a chance to do something about it.
First tier support says I need to CALL someone named "Anthony Gose" but MY PHONE DOESN'T WORK! It's not toll free, of course, and he has refused to start an email conversation about this without reason. Can't stand these guys and won't buy any more Apple products if they are tied to AT&T this way.
