Vodafone Australia has announced that it will be selling the iPhone in Australia later this year.
Despite the introduction of a range of enterprise-friendly features, don't expect the 3G iPhone to be welcomed with open arms in your office unless you're a SME.
Vodafone chief executive Arun Sarin has warned the industry to get creative about mobile services or risk becoming marginalised by the arrival of new kids on the block such as Apple and Google.
AT&T won the right to offer the hype-worn iPhone in the US and it looks like Spanish-owned operator O2 will get the same chance in the UK -- now the bets are on for which of the operators will bring the Apple handset to Aussie customers.
Sol Trujillo's winning smile may be slightly forced this Friday when the Telstra chief executive attempts to deliver the good news about Telstra's massive transformation strategy to reporters.
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).

From whether his mother should buy Telstra shares to Darryl Kerrigan in the castle, Dr Phil had it all. We've collated some of the best.
Second Life, with an alleged population of 7.979 million, is changing the way businesses think about what their customers want, and whether "virtual" is a viable way to give it to them.
Hosted customer relationship management (CRM) is showing signs of gaining critical mass with two emerging players gaining traction with both enterprise and small- to medium-sized organisations in Australia.

Although it's a good smartphone, the Treo 500v needs either Wi-Fi or HSDPA to deliver that knockout punch.
Vodafone's BlackBerry 7100v is a fair mobile email device so long as you don't need to handle graphics, large spreadsheets or complex documents. But as a handheld/phone combo it's eclipsed by more capable Palm OS- and Windows Mobile-based offerings.
Of the three mobile carriers attempting to lure customers to their next-gen mobile service Vodafone has the slowest data speed, but probably the best content.
