When the hell is 4g coming out?!

I'd kinda have to agree that 3g (on my i-phone w/ at&t) is a bit worthless.
I run edge most of the time & it's perfectly sufficient.
It's only useful for pinpointing my location when using the Google Map function.
Still, Googlemaps on the iphone isn't anywhere as useful as a dedicated GPS device.
I suppose it's also good for running internet radio (I use pandora and KCRW music/news).

Few of the apps NEED the underwhelming 3G.
All it does is drain your battery life faster.

Net surfing with 3G is comparable to 56k dial up speed.
The i-phone screen is really too small for meaningful web browsing

I love smart-phones.
The main appeal to me is the apps.
I'm just not convinced 3G is needed.
I don't really like my i-phone that much either,
but it serves it purpose well enough for the time bieng,
and my company pays my phone bill.

BTW, God-damn i-tunes!
Words cannot express my frustration.
