Great news for all web application developers: David Heinemeier Hansson, the rails-core-team and many others from the rails community put an early present under the xmas tree: Ruby on Rails 2.0.1. Thank you!

Great to see, that T-Mobile can listen to the complains of their customers. At the start of the holiday season the big "magenta" touched up the iPhone-rates in Germany:

  • You don’t find any EDGE-bandwidth throttling in the rate description. Finally, the data-flatrate is a data-flatrate.
  • The Complete XL package is now extremely interesting for heavy telephone users: Any Minute above the included 1.000 free Minutes is charged at low rate of 0,09 Euros.
  • Also the additional Minutes of the smaller packages are cheaper, now.
  • The "Rate-Designers" of T-Mobile upped the ante by adding a weekend telephone flat to all the packages.

Overall, T-Mobile took severe criticism to heart. So, it’s time for kudos to the "Magenta"-team for that reaction! The other mobile operators can take a leaf out of T-Mobile’s book.

Also the first movers, who signed a iPhone contract can respire: All of them will benefit automatically from the new rates.
