I use the WiFi hotspot functionality mainly when traveling. On pre-paid, the cost is most of the time 1ct/MB or less, which - for me - is quite acceptable as I normally use only 1-2GB/month at most. > >- 'GPS' (navigation device) > >- Music player > >- eReader (for eBooks) > >- Podcasts > >- RSS reader > > All sound good ideas, thanks.

It's mainly/also for use by *other* people than 'you' (who has a new(er) smartphone).
