You’re a data hog! Oh no!
Okay, maybe not; but you could be, right? I know my kids certainly are, to the point where I had to disable their 3G data connectivity so that they would be forced to only download at home via wifi. But if you’re an Android user, SPB Software has a better way to monitor your data usage then getting a snarky email warning or having a huge bill drop into your lap one ugly month: their new SPB Wireless Monitor app for Android. SPB sez:
SPB Wireless Monitor prevents unwanted mobile service charges and gives subscribers control over their mobile data spending. SPB Wireless Monitor measures data traffic, calculates network charges according to the currently used tariff, sends warnings of costly data usage, and reports the specific data traffic each application generates. It supports various types of connection (CDMA, GPRS, 3G, and Wi-Fi) and provides users with the report on traffic per application allowing them to track the applications that are the most data consuming. The home screen widget provides fast access to the data traffic information.
The SPB Wireless Monitor is available at your friendly neighborhood Android store for an MSRP of $9.95. Download and begin monitoring today.

“With the growing popularity of Android platform the number of apps available on the Android Market increases very fast (the total number of applications available for Google Android Market today, almost 130,000, is 6 times the number of applications available one year ago)*. The more applications are downloaded the harder it is to track the data traffic and to control expenses on mobile internet. It can lead to the reduction of usage of any applications that require internet connection and, as a result – the limitation of apps choice for end users and money losses for mobile operators. SPB has created the solution that provides daily, monthly, yearly or custom period cost reports according to the pre-defined tariff rates and helps to avoid the unrestrained money spending” says Sebastian-Justus Schmidt, SPB Software’s CEO.
