  • ANZ launches contactless Visa card

    Australia and New Zealand Banking Group and card provider Visa have launched a new transaction card that can make small payments without the need for a personal identification number or signature or even touching an EFTPOS terminal.

  • Windows users: Patch now or turn off Bluetooth

    Microsoft's June Patch Tuesday release included a critical fix affecting all Windows Vista and XP systems, which could allow attackers to wirelessly steal confidential information from laptops by exploiting a flaw in the Bluetooth stack.

  • Phones to buy at the CDMA funeral

    We're aware many people in rural areas of Australia are anticipating the shutdown of Telstra's CDMA network, on 28 April 2008, with some trepidation, to say the least. If you're still using a CDMA phone, here is a selection of "blue tick", or best reception Next G phones.

  • As CDMA closes, another data door opens for the bush

    While the relative merits of Next G vs CDMA as a mobile phone network will forever remain in question, no one seems to be arguing that Next G is winning out when it comes to data.

  • CDMA shutdown: Rural communities left in black spots

    The official word from Telstra and the Federal government is that the Next G Network provides equivalent or superior coverage to CDMA. Try telling that to the people of Mangoplah, NSW.

    Labor: Clueless on wireless?

    If there ever were concrete evidence that Labor is blowing smoke up the proverbials of the Australian population, it came earlier this month as Senator Stephen Conroy, the man charged with promoting Labor's fibre-everywhere policy while simultaneously taking potshots at his counterpart Senator Helen Coonan, put his foot squarely in his mouth.

  • Telstra NetComm Turbo 7 Series Wireless Gateway

    NetComm Turbo 7 Series Wireless Gateway provides an easy set-up, good coverage and modest speed. While this system gives you the advantage of portable wireless gateway, wireless services are less reliable and cannot match ADSL2 speeds.

  • ASUS Eee Box

    Despite a few useful features, the ASUS Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, while a low-end notebook can do everything it can do and more.

  • What's inside Intel's Centrino 2?

    The latest bundle of mobile technologies from Intel arrives late and somewhat piecemeal, but delivers a useful set of incremental enhancements.

  • Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router

    The Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router bears the same sleek, antenna-free design as its sibling the WRT160N, except features a four port gigabit switch. We are a little disappointed at the lack of a USB port, which means it can't act as a print server or easily facilitate network storage. It more than makes up for these lacking features, however, with excellent performance in CNET Labs' testing.

  • Dell Latitude XT

    This is a handsome and very usable Tablet PC, thanks to its excellent screen and keyboard. Battery life and performance are both a little disappointing, though, and the price becomes steep as you add in the options.
