This is, IMHO, very frustrating. Who does travel with only device in 2011? We're on a family vacation and between tablets, computers & smartphone, carry 8 devices.

If I have 3 devices, I really only need to connect to one of them. Phone, ipad, and computer? I mean c'mon.

I feel it is fair to require 1 connection per person. If you're a couple, 2 devices. If you have a child who really needs to be connected, another connection for each child seems fair.

But, asking for 8 devices for $15 is pushing it, don't you think?
