Given that the new iPhone 3G S is rated at up to 7.2Mbps, you'd think Telstra would be all over it as a potential show pony for Next G's purported high-speed performance. Yet the opposite seems to be true.
The amount of attention the HTC Dream gets when I flash it around in New Zealand is quite remarkable; and the HTC Magic on Vodafone seems set to get even more.
Last year I opined that, even if Telstra did launch Apple's iPhone 3G, conflicting goals meant it couldn't afford to seriously back the product. This year, Telstra proved me right, and the reason is simple: Australia's biggest telco just wants to be a Mac.
Telstra has revealed it is considering plans to allow customers to tether their Apple iPhones.

For start-ups without a lot of time or money, is it smarter to develop for the iPhone first or the Android OS?
While it's not perfect, there's a lo to love about the world's second Android smartphone.
With excellent web browsing, email and access to apps, the HTC Hero is one of the few mobiles to truly challenge the iPhone this year.
Business users looking for a competent, no-nonsense smartphone will like the E72 for its breadth of features and stylish design.
