| Lets see what kind of usage
Occurs around the holidays. First month or service is not a true test.
Also, is that 'first 4 weeks that the iPhone has been available' or first 4 weeks of use per user? Data may be skewed as the initial use of iPhones were not at day 1 for everyone.

Data may be skewed as the initial use of iPhones were not at day 1 for everyone. I'd say the first month is a GREAT indicator of usage. That's when a user wants to try everything and download tons of apps/games to try them out.
The novelty will wear off after a while and they will fall into a more consistent usage pattern much lower than their first month.

1 edit | While that may be true, I don't suspect that eveyone also had a true 'full month', if I read that quote properly (first month of a user may not be the same as first 4 weeks that the iPhone was available). Some had 4 weeks, some had 3 weeks, etc.
I suspect that 'kids' may end up with high initial uses, as you are saying, as its a new toy (youtube, facebook, surfing, just because, etc). Business users will use the device as a tool (maps, directions, email).
I'd suspect that holiday time (Thanksgiving through New Years) would have a serious spike in traffic for those that use the device for directions, online purchases, travelling, etc. Xmas day users could probably crash it down on AT&T though.
Weird that iPhone 3G users had 91% less than 100MB in a month though. I used Mini Opera on a Samsung ZX-20, and I'd hit 15-20MB/day... and I don't have email setup.
