Victorian energy company SP AusNet announced yesterday that it had chosen Motorola to build a WiMax network to connect the smart meters it is rolling out to 680,000 customers.
Apple has revealed Australian pricing details for the new hardware line-up it announced overnight in the US, with the vendor's new low-end MacBook laptop starting at AU$1299.
Seven Network Limited has unveiled plans to build a WiMax-based 4G network in Perth via its new subsidiary, Vivid Wireless, by March 2010.
Ericsson Australia's financial picture grew a little bleaker last financial year, with revenues falling $200 million to $805 million roughly $600 million less than its Telstra Next G boon year of 2006, which netted it $1.4 billion.
We blog live at Apple's WWDC 2009 keynote speech.
We take one of Intel's new 34nm SSD drives for a spin and find it a worthy hard disk replacement, delivering massive speed jumps when loading software. But watch out for a penalty when writing data.
Ever since Anand Lal Shimpi described using SSD drives as the single most noticeable upgrade you can do to your computer, I've been looking for the right price point to follow his example and make the SSD move. But at what price?
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.
Recent benchmarks of AMD's new 45nm Phenom II desktop CPUs reveal them to be very competitive when compared with Intel chips at similar prices, but is it enough to bring AMD back from the brink?
Intel demonstrated a working version of USB 3.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week. Here's what we can look forward to with the new technology.
Blade servers were once the saviours of the datacentre. Expandability was king. But do blade servers still make sense today? We find out if they're still worth it.
What's the best mid-range server on the market? We put machines from Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Lenovo through their paces in our labs.
A lot of the fuss behind virtualisation is focused around the datacentre. That's all well and good, but there is a whole world of virtualisation for workstations where competition for the best suite is red-hot and constantly improving.
There's no doubt that Ubuntu is a worthy rival to Windows 7 and even hands Mac OS X a cold dish of nasty in its stellar 9.04 release. Hats off to Mark Shuttleworth and his team: you got game.
Windows 7 will be one of Microsoft's greatest operating systems, if it fulfils the promise shown by the unofficial beta version we have been testing for the past couple of days.
What you give up in range at the 5GHz frequency, you make up in performance. Craig Simms explains.
A few other all-in-ones make this 20-inch iMac look expensive on a dollars-per-screen-inch basis, but none are as attractive or as capable juggling multiple programs.
A slight bump to the specifications for the same price in addition to a much appreciated option to upgrade the graphics means the 24-inch iMac keeps the Editors' Choice it earned last year when the brushed-aluminum-and-glass design was first introduced.
Apple's takes it already compelling iMac and beefs up the design and updated the under-the-hood components. The result is the best-looking PC on the market, that also compares very favorably against its Windows-based competition.
Behind its expansive display, Apple has packed one of the fastest all-in-ones available, and added a few useful extras to sweeten the deal.
Dell's Adamo brand of notebooks emphasise design as well as mobility, and its latest offering seems to have an abundance of both. But will breaking tradition help the Adamo XPS trump the MacBook Air?
The Apple MacBook may look the same as before, but it's had a Spring makeover and is now a better deal than ever.
Lenovo's popular IdeaPad S10-2 netbook has been slimmed down and its price reduced, making it a better netbook as long as you can live without ExpressCard.
If you find that the price is right and you are only planning on doing menial tasks, you could do a lot worse than the HP ProBook.
