Mobile phone manufacturer HTC is believed to be planning an Australian launch of a mobile handset based on Google's Android platform, with Optus and possibly other carriers to support the device.

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.
