Setup for data channels is currently prohibitively long. Applications that are not specifically targeting mobile users will have abysmal performance on mobile networks initially. Expect the radio to remain on constantly. I expect that many developers will come down on the wrong side of the tradeoff, especially since we give them such an awful set of choices - massive latency or massive battery use. Natural selection of a sort will prevail. I suspect that problems will surface pretty quickly. Mobile applications that are bad at this tend to get a reputation pretty quickly and people stop using them. --Martin
