It was all good news and I was set to use it until now. But now I could be creating a support nightmare on 4.0. That *would* make sense, if "background sync" were the only possible thing that an app would use the internet for. It *would* make sense if a user sees "no internet connection " in an app, and immediately thinks, "oh, that must be because I disabled background synching". Not likely. More likely, they'll forget they ever used that setting and we will exchange ten emails. Maybe I misunderstand what "allow apps to perform background sync" is for. But I guarantee users will too.
