Buy a Mac and it'll just work!!!
Sheesh, guys... Lots of stuff DOES "just work" on a Mac (for example, when I was visiting my sister and wanted to print out my flight plan... I obviously didn't have MY printer, an Epson, but when I went to print it just said "Your Epson blahty-blah could not be found. Would you like to use the HP 5550 you just plugged in instead?), but ya can't expect an aircard to automatically know what number to dial, username, password, etc.
When I hooked up my Cingular phone to the internet, I had to find the proper modem script (I'd bought a phone that had just come out), and put in the proper login information, and that was it. Not 100% plug-and-chug, but about as close as could reasonably be expected in that situation.
oh..crap...wait....uhh---buy an Iphone!
Actually, I've been wondering how the iPhone thing is really gonna work. When I hooked my phone up, I called up Cingular, and pressed the proper buttons to get to an "Internet technical specialist" and I just asked them for the number, the username, and password. They were like "Huh?" and even the supervisor had no clue. Sheesh, gimme a break! I ended up finding them via Google. If it's this difficult to get the iPhone connected, the Mac-heads will not be happy!
I've also been wondering whether Cingular will crack down on tethering, or raise their rates for data service, or what once the MacGeeks all go get an iPhone and clog up the data network. Or, maybe Apple will use their considerable might to make Cingular get a bit better. I sure hope so.
