Tabcorp announced it will launch a self-exclusion service on Monday that allows gambling addicts to ban themselves from accessing their Internet or phone betting accounts.
The number of mobile phone users worldwide soared to over 3.3 billion by the end of 2007, equivalent to a penetration rate of 49 per cent, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) said in a report today.
Qantas passengers will soon be able to surf the Web in-flight, following the airline's decision to adopt a range of aircraft with connectivity for the airborne business traveller.
Microsoft on Thursday unveiled details of plans for VoIP and video products offered through Windows Live services that will include new VoIP phones and a click-to-call feature for address book names.
Telstra has launched a service called Business Secure, which provides subscribers with alerts and a video feed of their property to their mobile phone or over the Internet.
During a trip to the US four years ago, I rented a car fitted with an XM satellite radio which gave me well over 100 radio stations, each carrying a continuous stream of crystal-clear talk radio or music in a surprising array of genres.
A few weeks ago, I was in Shanghai, at the Intel Developers Forum. Intel was keen to show off what it hopes will be the bridging device between high-end mobiles and laptops: the mobile Internet device or MID. Intel was showing off a lot of interesting things at the conference. The MID, sadly, was not one of them.
If there ever was an opportunity for a broadcaster to showcase the potential of internet video, this was it, and Seven has blown it. Perhaps its executives should have rung their mates at NBC in the US and gotten some pointers on online coverage.
Internode has no incentive to provide free access to its Wi-Fi networks for any reason at all, apart from genuine love, and maybe the joy of finding a new way to flip Telstra the bird.
A while back, frustration with my inability to get online outside of the office drove me to invest in a 3G data service from Hutchinson's 3. For $30 per month, I get 2GB of data that's accessible pretty much anywhere I go (I do all my work in metropolitan areas).
As VoIP use rises, so does the number of questions about it. Here are some of the essentials.
Running a call centre is big business, but should it be yours? More and more companies across Australia are answering no and are turning to outsourcers.
Accenture researchers have been showing off a thin client system, which can recognise objects such as books, pictures and foodstuffs videoed on a mobile phone -- delivering relevant information straight to into your hand.
Google's recent announcement of Android has sparked a debate over whether the mobile Linux platform will prove more secure than Apple's proprietary iPhone.
Since its release, the iPhone has had more than its share of press. Love it or hate it, everyone's been talking about it and looking at its sleek, colourful interface, it's hard not to fall in love with it. But like most decisions based on emotion, buying one may not be the smartest thing to do at least, not yet.
The iPhone won't be supporting Java or Adobe Flash, so does that really mean it can run 'the real Internet'?
Club Builder asks whether Google's indexing of Flash content will be good for the Internet? Is Gentoo merely a testbed for rsync? And we show how Telstra wants to increase mobile phone data usage.
Nokia announces N810 Internet device. Nokia's answer to the iPhone.
Though Skype 2 suffers from middling voice quality when calling landline phones, it's still one of the best free VoIP services around, and its new Skype Video feature makes it even better.
What's not to like about Skype? It's free and ad-free and offers clear VoIP calls to other Skype users anywhere in the world.
Seeing or using the i560 is hardly a pulse-racing experience. People looking for a solid phone with navigation will find what they are looking for in the i560. Fashionistas should look elsewhere.
The Nokia N78 is a fun phone to use, and despite some annoyances it's likely to find fans in those looking for a feature-filled Apple alternative.
Even with GPS and its expected lower price-tag the P3470 will struggle without Wi-Fi or 3G data speeds.
