Google's Android mobile platform wasn't robust, Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo said in an interview published yesterday, where he also disclosed he owns an Apple iPhone, among other handsets.
Despite a slowdown in mobile device sales, next year's enterprise mobility market will witness a face-off between the Apple iPhone and the BlackBerry Storm for enterprise hearts and minds.
BlackBerry maker Research in Motion has confirmed that its BlackBerry application store, App World, will not be available in Australia just yet.
Apple has captivated the general public with the iPhone, but has it convinced the business world to take the plunge?
Global banking giant HSBC is considering ditching the BlackBerry and adopting Apple's iPhone as its standard staff mobile device, a move that could result in an order for some 200,000 iPhones.
As the iconic BlackBerry goes from strength to strength in subscriber numbers, so do the threats to the device and the business model.
Around one third of Australia's telcos have shut their doors over time, but that isn't stopping new ventures hoping to chip away at carriers' mobile call bonanza. By fighting carriers at the smartphone rather than the home phone, could the latest two contenders be onto something big?
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.
What a week it's been for mobiles.
Steve Jobs' backflip on a key aspect of the iPhone stood out from a normal day -- broadband furore, antagonistic marketing, personal attacks and government inaction -- in the world of Australia's telecoms market.
Australian mid-cap miner OZ Minerals should have picked Apple's iPhone instead of Research in Motion's BlackBerry.
Apple has captivated the general public with the iPhone, but has it convinced the business world to take the plunge?
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.
Apple has made a push towards enterprise with the release of its SDK roadmap yesterday -- but will enterprise take the bait?
In 2005, Canadian wireless company Research in Motion (RIM) came from relative obscurity to steal a global lead in e-mail equipped mobile devices with its BlackBerry. Could 2008 be the year that BlackBerry falls off its perch?
The timing couldn't have been worse. What with Android phones now hitting the market and updates to Apple's iPhone and RIM's BlackBerry, Microsoft is telling partners to expect delays receiving Mobile Windows 7. On the CNET News Daily Debrief, Charles Cooper speaks with Ina Fried, who broke the news of the delay.
At the Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO of Salesforce.com, announced the company's latest venture. With Force.com Sites, customers can build, host, and allow individual users to customize a public Web page using Force.com technologies. Along with Parker Harris, Salesforce co-founder and executive vice president of technology, he demos the way New Jersey Transit uses Sites to keep their riders updated--even on the go with iPhones or Blackberrys.
The iPhone is not compatible with Microsoft Exchange or push e-mail services, like RIM's Blackberry, which could mean users will bypass corporate security safeguards in order to get their hands on the long awaited device.
Not convinced Apple's iPhone is the 'must have' device it's been heralded as? We take a look at a few alternatives that provide some advantages over the iPhone in its current incarnation.
It's been a long time between 3G phones, but RIM has finally unveiled the successor to the Bold 9000. This new Bold is smaller, lighter and makes use of an optical trackpad instead of a jogball.
With the BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM has done a good job of creating an affordable phone with all the right features, although you might miss 3G connectivity. Just make sure you get it in black.
We wanted a "Baby Bold" but instead we got the "Bold lite". Not having 3G seriously cripples an otherwise excellent BlackBerry.
