Apple raises limits on downloads via 3G

Apple has doubled the previous cap imposed on iPhone owners when trying to download applications via AT&T 3G.
Until today, users could download apps with a limit of 10MB in size, with any larger downloads having to be done via Wi-Fi. Users can now download apps up to 20MB in size.

Although criticized, the caps are imposed to help AT&T save bandwidth on an already overworked network.

Or better yet, you can get an Android device and not have to worry about any of Apple's crap.
