Nick Bradbury has some great points on testing mobile apps. Our flat has truly shitty cellular data, and the WiFi doesn’t extend to one level of our basement flat - and it’s painful to see so many apps that appear to simply not have been tested on GPRS.
In developing Happening - which I recently retired from the App Store - I spent a tonne of time testing the app in the GPRS hotspot that was our previous office. The Network Link Conditioner in the iOS SDK is a great tool, but nothing emphasises the latency of GPRS like GPRS itself.
