The third iteration of the iPhone hits our shores June 26, but until then, the ZDNet.com.au iPhone resource guide contains everything you need to know about Apple's highly anticipated mobile device.
Optus, Vodafone and Three have long struggled to match Telstra's reach outside the capital cities. Vodafone's major network upgrade is the best chance yet to dilute Next G's rural monopoly, but questions remain.
We're not thinking outside the box enough on the problem of copyright criminality. I would like to propose a solution to that.
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?
One of the more curious aspects of the iPhone phenomenon has been the disconnect between the device's capabilities and carriers' willingness to support them.
With its new taskforce, the government has got straight back on the web 2.0 horse after taking a nasty fall last year with Communications Minister Stephen Conroy and Finance Minister Lindsey Tanner's blogging trial, but how long will it stay on?
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 team at Brisbane-based Social Horizon has come up with aMAP.to, which they believe is the world's first service that shortens Google Maps URLs down to something manageable.
May fever has hit New Zealand's mobile carriers. Telecom New Zealand and Vodafone both have big initiatives under way ... and is that three? NZ Communications (formerly Econet) kicks off a third competitive network to give the big guns nightmares.
The ACCC is concerned that a Vodafone-Hutchison merger will stifle mobile competition, but after new figures reveal systematic deception by carriers it's prudent to ask: could the merger really make things any worse than they already are?
Sure, better 3G coverage is good for competition, but it's what you do with the 3G that will ultimately make the difference. As Vodafone expands its network footprint, the practice of selling 3G-enabled netbooks like mobile phones should really resonate with end users.
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.
It's Patch Monday, ZDNet.com.au's weekly podcast that looks at the big stories within the Australian IT community.
If I choose to upgrade the engine of my car, Holden will not recall it at some point in the future to restore its default configuration. Yet to most users, this behaviour is perfectly acceptable for devices.
All of the start-ups created during the second Startup Camp Sydney, which was held several weeks ago, have been placed for auction on SitePoint.com.
Australian online radio publisher and distributor, Stripe, late last week admitted it had slimmed down somewhat as it had finished building its technology platform and populating its online stations.
