Off-line sync on iPhone using 3g cellular
Can ́t see why this is restricted to Wi-Fi only, for those with plans that allows them to use their iPhone to its full potential. A compromise could be to add a warning with an indication of the required download in kB/MB and a clear confirmation from the user that this is understood. Or in combination with a fixed/configurable limit of e.g. 200 kB to avoid start of sync without fully understanding how much data that will be transferred.
After AT&T's answer to FCC we all know that there is no agreement between AT&T and Apple regarding use of 3g cellular so Apple should not have any objections. And even if there is such an agreement ;-) , I can't see how this could be valid in Europe.

Inappropriate?Of course what happens in actual use may not be clear, but if you download a track over 3G/HSDPA that may actually turn out to require less bandwidth than repeatedly streaming it which could be a possible alternate user behaviour. But the issue may not be bandwidth related anyway.
Is the issue that:-
1. Apple mandated that the downloads cannot take place over 3G/HSPDA, either technically or in the approval process? (Incidentally it's really strange that itunes does not allow more to happen on the device, all the features are restricted to the computer, why? Also note how by providing no means of allowing 3rd party apps to run in the background on the iPhone, the itunes player is in a advantaged position, bad apple!).
2. Or have the carriers mandated this restriction to save their network bandwidth and then this has been passed on to app developers as a requirement?
3. Or is it a design choice by spotify? (Why?)
Anyway apart from the background play issue, which is clearly apple's fault, it's spotify for the iPhone's biggest limitation IMHO.
I’m confused
