What a difference a year makes; new carriers and new ways to buy Apple's touchscreen wunderkind.
The party-hearty mobile operator today launched its new-look branding and members' lounge alongside a new CBD store on Pitt Street in Sydney.
Apple unveiled the next version of the operating system that powers the iPhone, dubbed version 3.0 offering users expanded functionality like MMS, copy and paste and a landscape keyboard.
Nokia's newly announced E52 will manage eight hours talk-time and 23 days standby, according to the Finnish manufacturer.
One week after the Australian launch of Apple's much-anticipated iPhone 3G handset, locals keen to buy the device are still queuing outside the company's only Sydney retail store.
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?
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.
Mobile phone companies have seen the green bandwagon go by and are flinging themselves on it faster than you can say "lazy, greenwash-spewing me-too merchants" but in the pantheon of would-be eco-friendly mobile makers, Nokia is coming up with some of the best and worst ideas on the market.
A few weeks ago, I was in Shanghai, at the Intel Developers Forum. Intel was keen to show off what it hopes will be the bridging device between high-end mobiles and laptops: the mobile Internet device or MID. Intel was showing off a lot of interesting things at the conference. The MID, sadly, was not one of them.
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.
Since its release, the iPhone has had more than its share of press. Love it or hate it, everyone's been talking about it and looking at its sleek, colourful interface, it's hard not to fall in love with it. But like most decisions based on emotion, buying one may not be the smartest thing to do at least, not yet.
Word of tiny queues in the US and UK didn't stop Australia's iPhone faithful from braving the cold to queue for the iPhone 3GS.
The real beauty of the Palm Pre is the webOS. Check it out in action with these screenshots of the various features and apps of the Pre.
It may have had its share of teething pains, but medical clinic chain Medi 7 has used its VoIP and open source Asterisk PABX rollout to improve call routing and slash thousands of dollars in telecommunications costs.
It seemed to be an obvious recipe: take two popular emerging technologies and stir vigorously. But the end result isn't to everyone's taste.

Pundits are predicting a slow tech year, but that doesn't mean that there won't be gizmos to catch your eye and snag your wallet.
With so many excellent phones to choose from, Nokia hasn't done nearly enough to make the 6720 desirable. It does the basics well, but struggles to justify its price.
The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
