Federal Communications Minister Stephen Conroy today said he was gearing up to buy one of Apple's in-demand 3G iPhones, describing the handset as a "sexy gadget".
Australia's competition watchdog has warned consumers to carefully consider their data allowances when using 3G mobile devices to avoid exorbitant excessive data charges, known in the industry as 'bill shock'.
People were apparently switching their brains off before joining the 3G iPhone queues, so it's somewhat surprising that considering an appropriate amount of storage was quite a high priority for many buyers.
Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
There's an argument against the usage of USB sticks which has been discussed many times in this column: they're a potentially massive security risk. But there's another case you could make against having your business life stored in 4GB or so of flash memory it's a total support nightmare.
Keen news readers would have heard about the strong earthquake that rocked south-western Greece on Sunday. Fewer may have realised that the quake was not so much an act of God, as an act of Jobs.
A few weeks ago, I was in Shanghai, at the Intel Developers Forum. Intel was keen to show off what it hopes will be the bridging device between high-end mobiles and laptops: the mobile Internet device or MID. Intel was showing off a lot of interesting things at the conference. The MID, sadly, was not one of them.
HTC has announced the Australian availability of the Touch Diamond in Sydney today, with the phone set to hit these shores between the end of July and early August.
Given the hype around anything with a single-letter prefix m-commerce, e-learning, iPhone last year's speculation over a Google "gPhone" sent the blogosphere into overdrive. The Android mobile phone platform that Google actually launched, however, took things in quite a different direction.
The explosively popular BlackBerry has recently had a new incarnation: the BlackBerry Bold. Will it be an iPhone killer? Check out our photo gallery and decide for yourself.
With all eyes on the Australian iPhone release, HTC has stolen some of the limelight with the release of the Touch Diamond. Coming in glossy black, with a large touch screen and an array of features, everything about this phone screams iPhone rival.
If you listen to Intel, the last hold-outs against the x86 instruction set are about to fall with super-powered Nehalem swarms mopping up the high end of massed Power PC supercomputers, and sneaky little Atoms nibbling away at the ARM embedded market.
At IDF, Anand Chandrasekher talks about Moorestown, a chip that has been designed for the next generation smartphone market and is expected to hit the market before 2010.
At the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, Mozilla Foundation Chairman Mitchell Baker talks about the company's plans to enter the smartphone market with Fennec, a mobile version of its Firefox browser. She also discusses how the new, open platform will encourage Web 2.0 application development.
If you need an all-in-one communications, navigation and imaging device and don't mind charging it every night, Nokia's N95 raises the bar in the mobile world.
While we like the E71 better, the E66 is a great smartphone with class leading features. If you want the functionality of a business phone without the bulk of a PDA form factor, the E66 is the phone you've been looking for.
HP's latest iPAQ, the 612c Business Navigator, is a solid offering with lots of features and good battery life. It's a bland-looking and giant handset, but good performance and crisp touchscreen somewhat make up for the poor keypad.
The Asus P750 may be chunky, but it packs in a huge array of features. Combined with an equally impressive software bundle, the result is an excellent multifunction handheld that should appeal to a wide range of mobile professionals.
The Bold is what BlackBerry fans have been waiting for. It's feature-rich and sharply designed, let down in small measure by some cumbersome software.
