Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Palm has announced in the US, its first CDMA Treo smartphone, offering 'broadband speeds' on 1xEV-DO networks.
The Treo 700p smartphone is similar to the Treo 700w but Palm says the higher data rate available on EvDo networks has enabled it to add some additional features. The 700p ships with Palm's first built-in streaming application, enabling it to stream mobile content such as live TV, movie clips and audio from radio stations, as well as training videos or company communications.
The 700p is also the first Treo Smartphone with built-in dial-up networking capabilities. It can provide broadband access for laptop computers by acting as a wireless modem via USB or Bluetooth The 700p also includes a 1.3-megapixel camera and camcorder, offering four times the resolution of a VGA camera.
Palms says the new product makes it significantly easier to create and manage photo and video albums. Once albums are created, a slideshow application allows users to add music, audio captions and transitions.
The 700p also includes Pocket Tunes from NormSoft for playing music files. The new application, with Palm-customised user interface, offers customers more options for sorting music and making play lists. By upgrading to Pocket Tunes Deluxe, users can play content from all music stores that use Microsoft's PlaysForSure/Janus technology.
The phone comes standard with 128MB of memory (60MB available to users). SD memory cards can be used to add an additional 2Gbytes.
Pricing and availability have not been announced. Palm says the 700p will be offered by both Verizon and Sprint, and the carriers will announce pricing and availability later.
