Probably, but it's good to have it anyway for foreign travelers who don't have data plans in the US.
Based on the internet in the resorts, my guess is that most US guests will be better off with their 4g or 3g or whatever.

Depends ... almost all carriers now have limited data, so if the system is data intensive with a lot of rich content (video, images, etc.) it could end up pushing a lot of people over their 2gb limit and then they'll get hit with huge bills.
Might not make them so enamored of the system if that happens. I think it's success is dependent on the wifi.

Not sure why they would change the name from Mobile Magic. Seems like a great waste of money in the marketing of that platform just to have to rebrand everything...

I believe, and I could be wrong, that the Mobile Magic app is/was a Verizon only app. To open this up to other providers, they would need to either pay Verizon for the rights or come up with their own platform/provider independent app.
This is only conjecture on my part. You may take it with a healthy dose of salt! LOL

I have At&T and have the Mobile Magic App. When opening the initial App screen does have Verizon on it so I think you may be onto something there!

Is the current application reliable? In terms of updating the audience with this amount of information, I hope the new app is accurate!

I added the app today. Logged into my account and I couldn't see any wait times or my reservation. I wonder if that info will show when I get near WDW (soon).

I haven't looked at every part of it yet, but I did not see a place to show my current reservations (yet at least), but you should be able to see the times even if you are are not near WDW. Did you try going to the Times Guide? There is one screen that just shows the hours attractions are open, but the times guide should show you the wait times.

I installed the app on both my iPhone and on the iPad. It looks ok on the iPhone. But, is much better on the iPad. Disney impressed me with this app on the iPad. Their track record for anything IT related had me skeptical. I am now anxious to see this when its full functionality is available.

Yes, I have installed it on my iPod touch and it worked. My iPod is a rather older one too.
