In 2008 the line between cybercrime and legitimate business will blur, Australians will find out just how many data breaches occur, smartphones will attract malware, and people will decide which group is worse: social networking sites seeking to monetise page hits or identity thieves.
Paris-based computer security firm Intego late last week said it had released the first antivirus software for Apple's iPhone handset.
A Brazilian company has claimed to be the first to have found a way to unlock Apple's new iPhone 3G, getting around restrictions that require users to sign up for calling plans with exclusive carriers
Its immense popularity may turn the iPhone into a painful experience for Apple, if predictions that the mobile device will be a major security target in 2008 are realised.
While Australia waits for the iPhone, time is quickly closing in on the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the iPhone, one that could signal just how far Apple can take its maiden voyage into the smartphone world.
I can't wait for the new iPhone to come out mainly because I'm so dog-tired of listening to the never-ending screeds of rumour mongering nonsense speculating on what functionality the device will have that come out every single day. So I've decided to join in. I'm 100 per cent convinced the new iPhone will run Vista and have WiMax connectivity. In fact I'd bet my house on it.
If the iPhone does as expected and takes a decent chunk of the growing smartphone market then the overall penetration of OS X will skyrocket and attract some serious attention from malware writers.
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).
Victorian Web start-up My Perfect has a strong story and rationale for why it will succeed. But it has to overcome some challenges and design flaws first.
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.
Work is coming along at the soon-to-open Sydney Apple store, although the high-security site is wrapped up to resemble a Steve Jobs skivvy.
If you listen to Intel, the last hold-outs against the x86 instruction set are about to fall with super-powered Nehalem swarms mopping up the high end of massed Power PC supercomputers, and sneaky little Atoms nibbling away at the ARM embedded market.
Industry analysts are always predicting what will happen in the future. David Braue went back in time five years to see how analysts expected the mobile comms market to evolve, and then compared it to what actually happened.
Early this decade, Microsoft weathered unrelenting criticism over a controversial set of technologies known as Palladium, which the company envisioned as creating a kind of secure vault to store passwords or medical records.
Alan Noble is the engineering and site director for Google Australia. ZDNet.com.au sat down with him to find out about the future of Web, and what Google really thinks about Microsoft's move into online applications.
While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.

We take an early look at the long-awaited iPhone -- a beguiling combination of touchscreen iPod, mini tablet and quad-band smartphone.
Tossing the KF700 into a mobile market obsessed with the iPhone could be a tough pitch for LG. HSDPA data speeds and multiple methods of input could be what's needed to turn a few heads away from the competition.
The W760i is a solid performer, and we've found it hard to fault this handset during our tests. Yet, with strong competition hot on its heels, the W760i falls short of bowling us over.
