The convergence of mobile phones and other portable devices shuffled another step forward on Monday when Samsung launched a handset that contained a 1.5GB hard drive with a one-inch diameter.
The networking giant completes its purchase of software maker Okena, a move that boosts Cisco's presence in the network security market and could help fend off hits from rivals.
US carrier T-Mobile and Google overnight detailed the first-ever mobile handset running Google's new Android operating system.
Optus chief executive Paul O'Sullivan today declined to give any details on how the carrier's Australian success with Apple's iPhone handset was likely to affect the company's mobile data usage statistics or revenues.

A while back, frustration with my inability to get online outside of the office drove me to invest in a 3G data service from Hutchinson's 3. For $30 per month, I get 2GB of data that's accessible pretty much anywhere I go (I do all my work in metropolitan areas).
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.
When Coles introduced Fly Buys, Woolworths introduced Everyday Rewards. When Coles introduced petrol discount vouchers, Woolworths introduced petrol discount vouchers. It's a bold plan, but can it and Coles' inevitable copycat product change the prepaid mobile world for the better?

Those who can afford the Touch Pro2 will be buying a feature-rich smartphone with a unique conference calling feature and a decent suite of business apps.
Tossing the KF700 into a mobile market obsessed with the iPhone could be a tough pitch for LG. HSDPA data speeds and multiple methods of input could be what's needed to turn a few heads away from the competition.
Even with GPS and its expected lower price-tag the P3470 will struggle without Wi-Fi or 3G data speeds.
As Next G handsets go, the A551 isn't the best, nor is it the worst. Its middle of the road design and feature set is matched by a mid-range price tag.
