The first mobile phone running Google's Android operating system will hit Australia on 29 January, with a company called Kogan Technologies announcing the imminent release of an Android-based handset it calls the "Agora".
US carrier T-Mobile and Google overnight detailed the first-ever mobile handset running Google's new Android operating system.
What a difference a year makes; new carriers and new ways to buy Apple's touchscreen wunderkind.
Apple shipped about 125,000 iPhones to Australia in the first two and a half months after the device went on sale on 11 July last year, analyst firm IDC said today.
CommSec, CommBank's securities trading arm, claims it has launched the first iPhone application in Australia.
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.
Our erstwhile Shanghai correspondent Brendon Chase wanders into a Shanghai tech market to sort the fake from the real and to see how the fake iPhones stack up to the real thing.
Join us on a tour through a Chinese "Shanzhai" market, where you can get an iPhone in any colour or shape and with features Apple doesn't offer. But are these mobiles legitimate?

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.
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.
Its camera is great and the screen looks amazing, but the UltraTouch is not a knockout. It's a weird mix of business looks, average apps and dodgy performance, and we just can't tell who exactly Samsung is trying to sell it to.
With webOS, Palm goes past matching its competitors and offers something more. The Pre might not be a home run, but it is an indication of good things to come.
We're not in love with the design and would have liked some additional features; however, the Google Android platform has the potential to make smartphones more personal and powerful.
While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.
