Download movies via the iPhone was always a long and annoying wait. Well, it looks as if the iPad isn’t any different. Even though the image says 193mins it really probably took a little over 2 hours total, where my desktop on the same network could have done it in less than one.

I am not really sure why it take the iPhone and iPad so long to download movies via the iTunes store, but I must say it is kinda annoying and I would definitely recommend downloading via a computer and syncing the files if you have the option.

If anyone has any knowledge to why this is I would love to know.

After starting out strong with a $30 dollar truly unlimited data plan for the iPad, AT&T has to go a ruin it by only offering 2GB plans for 25 dollars from now on. I don’t know about you, but I can pretty easily use 1.5GBs on my iPhone a month, So I am sure I would kill this plan with a 3G iPad.

I know the average user isn’t me so maybe it is not that big of a deal, but this device could really become a desktop(laptop) replacement for some of the everyday computer users.

Guess only time will tell on what will happen next hopefully it is a sign to come hat Apple will finally drop the AT&T exclusivity and open up to more carriers, even if it is just T-Mobile to start with.
