Why EDGE versus 3G matters less than you think

Filed under: Tech corner — atomicskate @ 10:11 pm — 727 Views

A really good and interesting article that would convince dubious people that 3G is not mandatory in order to enjoy a real mobile Internet experience ;-)

We’ve all read articles about why the iPhone won’t sell because it doesn’t boast the latest and greatest 3G technology, which can transmit data at 1.8, 3.6, 7.2, and in some places, 14.4 megabits per second. Instead, Apple chose to go with the more ubiquitous EDGE system, which tops out at 0.2 mbits per second here in the US, and presumably will do the same in the UK and Germany when the iPhone launches there next month.

But the question left unasked as been, "Does 3G really improve the user experience dramatically?" Most pundits would reply, "Well, of course Internet experiences improve with higher bandwidth. That’s why the world went broadband." And if the pundit is having a bad day, they’ll add "Duh."

Funny thing though. They’re wrong. Bandwidth doesn’t affect the mobile phone experience nearly as much as most people think. And in some cases, high bandwidth Internet is actually worse for the user than a low-bandwidth one.

- Les 10 conseils pour trouver du travail en Chine
- Guide de la candidature à la chinoise
