If that * thing is true, the free stuff on boost isnt free. Example when i go to Weather(free) everything in the menu has a * next to it!!!

Yes the content marked "free" is indeed free. Zero rated until 31JAN05.

Might just pay to check, If Telecom are anything like Prgressive Enterpises or The Warehouse, the price will indeed be different to what's on offer.

I have had it appear on my bill and in the Prepaid platform (VSP) on standard 027 but the charge is $0.00
Matching Vodefone's offer for the free email, news etc on Vodafone LIVE over summer.

Maybe even though it say things with * are $0.35, It may still be free. Boost probably need to edit the pages, * must be a mistake
