Whether it's the access they have to data-connect applications, the ability they possess to stream video and audio, or how they utilize the Web browsing experience in general, iPhone owners as a group use more data than the average smartphone user."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1260721987.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>I suppose if you need to keep close tabs on your usage because of your plan, or if you just want to get a screen shot and email it to de la Vega to show him that you aren't a data hog like <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/12/09/att-to-new-york-and-san-francisco-were-working-on-it/" target="_blank">he says</a> you are, then you might want to get this <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/consume-usage-monitor/id337064413?mt=8" target="_blank">$2.99 USD application</a>. This also monitors your home broadband usage for a limited number of carriers, they list them on their <a href="http://bjango.com/help/consume/providers/" target="_blank">website</a>. It isn't too useful for me now but in version 1.2 they will be adding AT&T to the mix so perhaps. </p>
