Have Iridium improved on their dreadful 2400bit/sec data rate?
On the unit I was quoted today ref data speeds, Iridium will give you up to 26kbps throughput when used in combination with the AxcessPoint accessory.
I am no expert what that means but quite committed now to putting what I hope is a usable package together for the ipad and have received some useful info from Pilots doing this quite successfully in Germany.
