UK chip designer ARM is pushing technology designed to turn PDAs and mobile phone handsets into sophisticated gaming devices
The Open Handset Alliance, which promotes the use of Google's Android mobile operating system, added 14 new members this week, including Vodafone, the world's largest mobile operator.
Vodafone has picked Ericsson for its 3G network upgrade across rural and regional Australia, with future upgrades that could take the network to 28.8Mbps already on the cards.
Telstra claims its controversial Next G network is now officially better than its soon-to-be-defunct CDMA equivalent, after the telco sent a team to audit network coverage. Now government testers are hot on their heels.
Vodafone today announced its third-generation (3G) network would be commercially launched in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra this October with other capital cities to follow in 2006.
Telstra's New Zealand arm TelstraClear is one strange company ...
Telecom New Zealand yesterday launched its new XT 3G mobile network at a ritzy event in Auckland. But the network hasn't gone live yet, which is likely due to new hardware being installed to curb interference that is causing rival Vodafone a headache.
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.
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.
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.
Given the hype around anything with a single-letter prefix m-commerce, e-learning, iPhone last year's speculation over a Google "gPhone" sent the blogosphere into overdrive. The Android mobile phone platform that Google actually launched, however, took things in quite a different direction.

The days of the 3G brick are numbered, with Samsung's Z510 joining the Motorola v3x in the slim and sexy category.
The X1's good looks and strong hardware are hampered by frequent performance lag, an unintuitive user experience and its jaw-dropping price tag.
Sony Ericsson's Z800i takes 3G clamshells to the next level with a 1.3 megapixel rotating camera, Bluetooth, MP3 playback and a Memory Stick Duo slot for up to 1GB of storage.
Truly a handset for both business and leisure, the W950i is a Symbian-based smart phone that incorporates strong music playback features, 4GB onboard memory and 3G connectivity.
A fresh design and a colour screen at a reasonable price should see the youth market snatch up these mobile phones. Read our Australian review.
