O2 have just launched a HSDPA service. The info on their data card claims speed up to 1.8Mb/s. I saw one today, and the guy who owned it claimed he was getting close to that. 3G devices are ubiquitous now in the UK, and HSDPA is very close behind. So EDGE is just a complete waste of time. Apple would be better off installing their Email and Google Maps software on the iPod Touch for use over WiFi, and forgetting about the iPhone until they can package HSDPA with a reasonable battery life. This is a different market to the US, and EDGE isn't going to attract anyone when the competition is so much faster.
