Australians have made more than 20,000 complaints a month against telecommunications companies this year as figures rose despite a campaign to lift customer service.
Samsung Australia was expected to launch four handsets in its Icon range yesterday, but instead launched five, adding the Samsung Jet to the group of touchscreen devices on show.
Nokia has soft launched instances of its Ovi downloads store to handsets in Australia, ahead of the global launch later this week.
Vodafone and Hutchison executives have confirmed that they would make staff cuts to reach the $2 billion in savings they hope to achieve from the merger, but analysts doubt whether it will lead to a better outcome for customers.
Vodafone Australia's acquisition of Crazy John's has paid off, according to CEO Russell Hewitt, as the company recorded a net increase of around 110,000 new customers in the last quarter to 31 December 2008, but its average revenue per user has continued to fall.
Turns out that the "developer preview" of Google's latest creation, Google Wave, is not as open as one would expect, with the preview only being open to attendees of Google's I/O conference but there is another way to see it in action. And forget wanting to use IE6 with it.
Relaxed Melbourne-based start-up Stateless Systems won't be the next Amazon or Google, but the founders are already internet legends and likely to become even more cool as they launch more quirky products.
Pronouncing that a given device doesn't need any more storage is a near-foolproof recipe for looking stupid somewhere down the line. However, I'm sceptical that many people need a 16GB mini-SD card for their phone.
You've only got to hang around a datacentre for about 30 seconds before someone starts raving on about virtualisation. While the cost benefits of virtualisation are obvious, the management challenges often get swept under the carpet.
If the Internet is God, and the browser my shepherd, I am a lost lamb who has been waiting for the Prophet to answer my call: What are those icon-less buttons at the bottom of Internet Explorer 7?
Why won't Adobe make licensing its software easier for school IT directors?
The footage Four Corners displayed of a suspected Melbourne fraudster's house and technology during a police raid last week hardly fits the profile of a master fraudster.
Twitter is not the great evil for journalists and media. In fact, it is helping to renew the media and bring that great lady called "journalism" back to her rightful throne.
In the heady days of January 2008, database maker Oracle had finally captured the prize that it had been courting for many months, BEA, and in an instant became the largest middleware player in the market. But are the real results yet to appear?
If mainstream media cannot be trusted to provide an objective, poison-free analysis of the issues of the day, then it is the responsibility of this government specifically, my department to come to the citizenry's rescue.
Sony Ericsson's Naite isn't a heart-starter but let's face it, the reason you'd buy the Naite is for the secret pleasure of knowing your phone is slightly less of a burden on the environment than those wretched iPhones.
MSI's VR603 is a perfectly fine budget laptop marred by the use of the Sentelic touchpad.
Looking for an affordable business desktop to roll out? We look at the major players available in the market today.
The Dell Inspiron Mini 10 looks to be an improvement on the Mini 9, although the initial low resolution screen, lack of WWAN and three-cell battery option could hamper initial sales. We'd recommend waiting for the updated model coming later this year.
MSI's EX720 isn't a bad laptop, but it certainly strikes as one with too many shortcuts taken. Still at AU$1,649 it's affordable, and if you're budget and technically minded you'll likely get some decent mileage out of this laptop.
