iPhone TIPS: Save 80% of your 3G Data Usage [FREE APP]

- iPhone-tips-tricks.com - Q: What is it? A: Onavo [link FREE] is an iPhone app that saves money by compressing the iPhone’s data usage. Q: How does it work?

A: Once installed, users can go back to using the iPhone / iPad as normal. In the background, data usage from all apps is compressed, allowing users to double or even triple their existing data plan. The cool thing is that the app allows users to see which apps are costing them money, by showing a breakdown of each app and its data usage. This will make your very aware which app is toptalkers on your device. Whether at home with a capped plan or abroad paying data roaming charges, Onavo’s app lets users get more out of their data plans. Q: Is it safe to use it? A: Well what I have understood is that the mobile data will be compressed before sent through a intermediate server of the Tel Aviv, Israel based company. From there, the data will be decompressed and forwarded to the destination. The return data is the same thing. It insures that the mobile data is as small as possible, so you can save heavily on your expensive data usage. Most mobile providers are charging huge amount of money per megabyte, especially if you are abroad. Roaming costs per megabyte is known to be horrifying high, so there is a lot of money to save. So it is up to you if you trust this company to process your data. The video below illustrates the concept as simple as possible. more info at onavo.com

Q: What has happened? A: Today Microsoft has announced their net profit for the first calendar quarter of 2011. Their net profit was $5.23 billion. Q: So? A: Well, that is $760 million dollars less than Apple's $5.99 billion net profit over the same period.  It is the first time that Apple has surpassed Microsofts profit. Q: Wauw!

And that is not real money, it is just a number wnext could get in your pocket. A profit number is real money what you have in your pocket! I think greater profit finally justifies the greater market capitilization. Apple earns profit from the sales of the iPhone GS and iPhone 4, iPad 1 and 2. iPods, Apple TV 2, Apps, iTunes music and video and the complete Mac OS hardware and Software products iMac, Macbook Air, Macbook pro etc. While Microsoft is into the software licenses. Quotes from fellow bloggers you may interested in are:

iPhone TIPS: Why is White a better Color?

I have bought an white Macbook in 2008 because you can't see the dust on the keyboard, which is just fine. Little dust is not bad for your health. However you do see the dirt on the white keyboard, which is not the case with a black macbook for example. I clean the white macbook more often I think. Besides I do own 2  White iMac's which are occupied by my kids. I like white apple products. I am still waiting for a white Apple TV 3. My current Apple TV 2 is black because it is only in black. And you see the dust on the black Apple TV. Something that hasn't happened with the Apple TV 1, which has a aluminum white finish. So please, let the Apple TV 3 be available in white. And tomorrow, there will be a white iPhone 4 too, finally. I won't buy it, because I already own the black version of it. But for September's iPhone 5, I definitely go for a white version. Wait and we will see. 

Meanwhile check the source pictures by our fellow bloggers at BGR.COM. They were that lucky to had one today prior the official release date of tomorrow.
