Apple raises 3G/4G download limit to 50MB

Apple yesterday bumped up the download limit for content over a cell connection to a healthy 50 megabytes. Previously, iOS users were restricted to downloading items no larger than 20MB unless they did so over Wi-Fi.

But when I attempted to grab a 100MB app, a message told me that the item was over 50MB, requiring me to use a Wi-Fi network or iTunes on my PC to download it.

50MB instead of 20MB. This feels so 1990 again. Are they boosting the connection speed from 9600 to 14400 too to bring back the old modem feelings?
