Just to make it a little clear to you guys. The G1 has been rolled out to different countries than the US now. You may be thinking so what how does that effect things but the thing is i can tell you at a min Australia does not have unlimited data plans. I suspect many other countries will not have unlimited data plans. If you app consumes a lot of data is it that hard to state that or post a waring? Personally i run a few different apps to monitor my data but sadly in Australia it is easy to walk onto a roaming data service and the G1 does not detect it in a lot of cases and so far i have found no way to detect this. A way to control the data in your apps or to know what you are in for would be great.
