Yes, with the following notable exceptions:
- The iPhone enables users to transmit a much larger volume of data than "other" devices that use the 3g network as their primary means of connectivity
- "Other" devices, like PC's were not designed from the ground up to utilize a mobile network. The iPhone was.
It makes sense, that when you are designing a handset that is going to use huge volumes of data, you might consider a concept like data compression at least equally to something like an accellerometer that lets you shuffle your music playlist in a neato way
Then again, I am not an engineer.
