Ever gone over your data quota and racked up huge overage charges?

Ever gone over your data quota and got "capped" at x1RTT speeds instead of the much faster 3G?

If you answered YES to either, you need one of the apps here.

The primary focus here is on the apps ability to monitor data usage. If it also monitor calls, SMS, or other capabilities, they will be noted. Some of the special capabilities that a data usage monitor should have:

define quota: ability to define a quota, such as 250MB limit per month

add offset: ability to define data already used

usage predictor: predict usage based on previous patterns

hard limiter: ability to turn off data when about to reach quota

widget: put up a widget to display data and quota ratio

notification: display a notification icon to show status and quota

per-app breakdown: ability to show traffic separated by app

The test platform is my Motorola Droid on Verizon. The official data usage meter is the Verizon "Data Usage" widget.
