Tired of your phone or other device running out of juice when you're on the move? The Droidax PortaCharge may be the answer.

Dominant carrier Telstra has today launched Androidland – a section of its largest retail store that showcases the latest Android smartphones and tablets. Billed as a world-first retail collaboration with Google, Telstra claims its new Android section is a world-first store within its flagship Melbourne store.

Telstra has added new Android smartphones from LG, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, a Telstra-branded ZTE model and the BlackBerry Bold 9900 to its range in preparation for the Christmas sales boost.

  Sony will pay €1.05 to take full control of the Sony Ericsson handset business, including 'essential patents'.  

  There's a meme spreading that says Apple was right to stay with a 3.5in screen for the iPhone family despite calls for more real estate. The argument is that you can't easily reach the opposite corners when using a 4+in device one-handed, but I call shenanigans.  

Sony Ericsson has appointed John Featherstone as managing director for the Oceania region.

Sony Ericsson has a lot riding on the Xperio neo, which arrived in Australia late last month. It’s their most recent top-of-the-line handset, with a focus on an all-round great performance.

The nation's biggest telco Telstra has added to a string of exclusive launches of Android handsets, revealing plans this morning to launch Sony Ericsson's Xperia neo on 26 July.

Android is speedily becoming Australia's most popular mobile operating system, with sales of devices using it poised to outstrip Apple by the end of 2011. But the Federal Government's peak security agency this week clarified it hadn't yet started evaluating Google's Android platform for use within the public sector just yet -- seeing no immediate need.

Pretend for a moment that you're a handset manufacturer like HTC, Samsung, Motorola, LG or Sony Ericsson. After months of negotiating with local carriers like Telstra, Optus and Vodafone and working with head office in the US or Asia to get stock for Australia, you finally launch your high-end Android smartphone in Australia. Then just a month or so later, Apple unexpectedly releases the iPhone 5.
