I _could_ listen to NPR on the radio - or (apparently) listen to CD's - but I have everything I want accessible on my phone and tablet so I'd rather use those.<br /><br />It's frustrating that variable data cost is a factor for so many people. Hopefully that'll improve over time.<br /><br />FWIW Google Music lets you "pin" music for offline access, Google Maps / Navigation lets you save offline maps, and many other apps (like podcast players) offer similar functionality -- so you can actually use most of the functionality without connecting to the Internet using mobile data.Reto Meierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04583545000534514486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735231.post-49563034691008320252012-08-29T22:18:40.336+01:002012-08-29T22:18:40.336+01:00Very nice - but how much data do you use per month...Very nice - but how much data do you use per month? Without unlimited data, this would get expensive fast, no? Listening to NPR on FM would be free.
