Seven Network Limited has unveiled plans to build a WiMax-based 4G network in Perth via its new subsidiary, Vivid Wireless, by March 2010.
The HTC Magic will launch with both Vodafone and 3 Mobile, though close inspection reveals the handsets available will differ slightly between the carriers.
Telstra on Friday activated the HSPA technology needed to boost its Next G network to 21Mbps and made the first data call using the new speeds.
Online retailers have begun to flog HTC Google Android phones to Australian consumers, with the first copies having turned up on the Australian website of auction giant eBay site, although Australian telcos don't seem to have prepared for the imports.
Intel announced this week at the Intel Developer Forum in Taipei that its first working Moorestown platform for mobile internet devices (MIDs) had come out of fabrication.
Telcos would love to shift the cost of expanding mobile network coverage to customers with femtocells, but are they a good idea for customers?
More details on Telecom's XT network has been revealed, but why can't its wholesale partners have access to it?
Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
Writing a blog about mobile technology on 28 April almost necessitates holding forth on CDMA shutoff. But if you ask me, there's something far more disruptive happening in the wireless world right now.
Boss of internet service provider Exetel, John Linton, says the National Broadband Network should be handed to the only company that can build it Telstra and he's not impressed by NBN Co chief Mike Quigley.

Apple has made a push towards enterprise with the release of its SDK roadmap yesterday -- but will enterprise take the bait?
Skype sees the mobile market as the next frontier for its service, but economic realities in the voice market -- coupled with mobile operators who feel threatened by Skype -- could put the kibosh on large-scale adoption for some time to come.
The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
The iPAQ Voice Messenger is at best, mediocre. There's nothing here that HTC, BlackBerry or Apple don't already do better, and unless your company already has a great HP contract, it's hard to recommend.
Although it lacks an optical drive and a touchpad, and battery life could be better, this is a typically well-built ThinkPad. If you're a Tablet PC fan, it's a very good (if somewhat pricey) choice.
The Dell Latitude E is a glimpse into the future of laptops. With high expandability, configurable and a strong design, it should suit most corporate environments.
Market newcomer i-mate have recently released Australia's first HSUPA enabled smartphones in an exclusive deal with Telstra, the i-mate Ultimate 8502 and 9502. We had a look at the smaller sibling and were very impressed with what we found.
