iOS NSURLConnection and EDGE/3G

[patrover]

is there a way to distinguish whether the data that is sent/received through NSURLConnection is transmitted using EDGE/3G or whether using WiFi ?

thanks

i thought i heard either evan or allan mention in one of the stanford videos that we couldn't; i'd normally trust their word as they work for apple (evan does anyways, he led a session at wwdc), but a quick google query gives you this:

then again, i probably mis-heard as i was only half listening while watching those videos.

Look at the reachability sample: you can tell at a given point in time of you are on WiFi or not. Once you have the data you can't...
