Default Androiders Use More Data!

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUS...E6B721X20101208

"Users of Google's Android phones, such as Samsung's Galaxy S, use more data services than those with other smartphones, threatening to choke wireless network capacity, an industry study showed. The growing popularity of Android-operated phones -- made by companies including Asian vendors HTC Corp and Samsung Electronics -- comes as handsets look set to overtake computers as the most used device for browsing the Web."

We've been hearing for years that our increased data usage (on phones, on computers, anywhere) is going to choke networks. I'm thinking that supply will meet demand with only minor glitches along the way. What I want to know is why do Android users use more data? The article mentions better cameras and video editing abilities, although I wonder if they're just more fun to play with!
