While the Data usage feature is not an exact measurement, it does give you a good idea how close you are to your data cap. This is a feature of the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android (4.0), and will be available regardless of your carrier once you upgrade.

What electronics do you take when you go on vacation? When I packed the electronics for my family of six, I quickly discovered the quantity of items added up to some significant weight in my backpack. Any rational person going to Aruba focuses on swimming trunks and flip flops at a minimum. However flying with 4 kids under 9 years of age makes you consider how to handle flight and downtime entertainment in a different way.
