Now that Microsoft’s Windows 7 pricing has been unveiled, changing very

Premium), it’s clear that Microsoft’s policy of charging full price to
Linux and Mac users has changed very little, too.

weeks before any company launch, the long-awaited N97 has finally
launched on an official basis, along with the official Australian

Sygic’s turn-by-turn “Mobile Maps” GPS iPhone app is the first publicly
available app of its kind for the iPhone 3G and 3G S, has launched in

The launch of Sony’s new Z5500 series 52 inch LCD TV and its
“2nd-generation 200Hz” technology is competing with LG’s new 200Hz
models, while Samsung and Panasonic are upping the plasma ante with
“600Hz”screens they naturally say deliver better picture quality than
200Hz LCDs – but your eyes will have to be the judge!

Although Microsoft itself is lowering expectations of large new
hardware sales thanks to Windows 7, and could yet set its Win 7 upgrade
and retail prices lower in response to the $29 OS X 10.6 challenge, one
of Windows 7’s very touching benefits is something you’ll want to put
one, two or even more fingers on!

Although the iPhone 3G S launched with US dollar pricing known before
the keynote was over, Australian telcos are making us wait on finding
out exactly what an iPhone 3G S will cost to buy outright, upgrade to
or have to pay per month on a 24 month contract - should we expect any
surprises?

Yes, the iPhone 3G S has just launched, but Palm’s own webOS revolution
is doing well with a quick update, delivered over-the-air, to
immediately improve stability for some apps, a dozen new apps arriving
post launch, an SDK is on the way and at least 50,000 sold at launch.
Not bad, for Palm… but is it enough?

The Microsoft Windows “Laptop Hunter” TV ad campaign in the US that saw
one winner proclaim she wasn’t “cool enough to own a Mac” due to the

The rumour mongers had many things right in their educated guesses for
what any new iPhone 3G successor might bring to the table, but while
they had plenty of things wrong, too, the iPhone 3G S is still a worthy
upgrade to the world’s best smart phone. Apple also introduced OS X
10.6, with a US $29 upgrade plan, and cheaper MacBooks, including the
re-emergence of the Firewire 800 port on the 13-inch model.

We’re yet to see whether iPhone OS 3.0 launches for download in a few
hours time, along with a new iPhone itself, or if both will be delayed,
but the iPhone Dev Team has warned against rogue downloads promising
yellowsnow updates, fake 3.0 unlocks and even upgrading to iTunes 8.2

world, while a new iPhone itself now (and not in a few weeks) is also expected!

Can Russian “anti-monopoly” authorities stop Microsoft from further
slowing down the supply of Windows XP and replacing it with ever more

Palm’s highly anticipated Pre, touted as yet another potential iPhone
killer, launches in a couple of days in the busiest phone launch month
