An MMORPG I played implemented this pay-as-you-go sort of system about five years ago. It doesn't really work well because MMORPGs are time consuming by nature. If you pay $50 for a game, then only get the pay-as-you-go subscription plan, you're not getting your money's worth. It ends up costing more to use the pay-as-you-go if you get anywhere close to addicted to the game.

"As far as running Android 2.0, anyone with an Android phone can upgrade to that. That's one of the great things about Android in the first place." http://jkontherun.com/2009/08/17/no-further-android-updates-for-g1-no-sense-for-mytouch-3g/ Actually, there have been rumors that the G1 can't get any more updates for android due to hardware limitations. They just rolled out Text-To-Speech with Donut, and I am not sure what's coming out in Eclair, but I imagine it will be too hard on the CPU of the G1. Of course you can just root the phone and install it yourself.

Were you referring to China, USA or Great Britain? I can't really tell the difference anymore.
