Its a big hassle to get online and you have to pay $7 or some nonsense. Apple should look more closely at real usage.
I love my iPhone, but Apple are holding it back from the stunning success it could have with silly deals and restrictive practices. Quit it, Apple!

Starbucks also have this closed attitude – when they have the opportunity to be the biggest wifi coffee shops worldwide, they want to monetize every little thing.
Dumb.

I can go across the street to a competing and cheaper coffee shop, get FREE WiFi that allows me to access the iTunes store AND the rest of the web. Why does anyone really care about the Starbuck's deal? As an iPhone owner I am, yet again, disappointed with Apple and their meager and paltry 'hand outs' to those of us who have been loyal Apple fans.
