Finally Skype is on the iPhone and it works!
Looks like us Aussies were able to download it before our fellow Americans since many of my U.S. Twitter friends complained that they could not even see it in their AppStore instance.

Skype for iPhone took a little longer to download than the average app but it eventually completed its journey onto my iPhone. This app is taking a spot on my first page of apps given it’ll be one of my most used.

Looks like HTC will finally get some competition in the Google Android arena. Acer has thrown in it’s hat, announcing that it too will have it’s own Android phone by as soon as Fall / September this year.
Very little is known about the Acer A1, except that it’ll have a touchscreen. Not really much to rejoice about.
Given Acer’s ability to adapt and succeed in new markets such as the netbook space, I have an inkling that Acer may just be a force to watch out for as it sets its …

Like everyone else, when it comes round to spending my hard earned cash, I like getting the most bang for my buck.  I usually search on the internet for the best deals, and try to find the cheapest price I can with a reputable merchant.  I also browse bargain sites daily, keeping an eye out for coupons and specials that will save me money when I make a big purchase.

One trend I am seeing on the increase though, is the policy of price matching.  Propagated by big chains and retailers, …

Computers are becoming progressively smaller as time goes on.  The renowned netbook maker, ASUS, is now packing a full fledged computer into a keyboard less than an inch thick, which can then be hooked up to a  monitor or big screen TV.

The EEE keyboard features Apple-like keys, plus an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, 1GB of memory, and either 16GB or 32GB solid state storage.  The kicker though is a 5-inch, 800 x 480 pixel touchscreen where a normal number pad should be – the intended usage is as a control …

I’ve been reading ebooks on my handheld devices for as long as I can remember (we’re talking about US Robotics Pilot circa 1997 here), and have been absolutely fascinated by the success of the Amazon Kindle.   For one, they’ve turned their entire retailing model from moving paperback books to an estimated $1 billion business moving ebooks.  With the launch of the Kindle 2 last month, Amazon has refined their ebook reader product and made it even sleeker and sexier to behold.

For me, the main attraction is the display technology – …

Baffled by the difference between the Blackberry and the iPhone?  What about the Android vs Palm’s WebOS?  Here’s a great chart by Gizmodo, explaining the differences between the major smartphone platforms.
Most smartphone platforms support touchscreens and/or keyboards, and let you browse the internet, run apps, view photos and play games/music/movies. And while they may act the same on a fundamental level, not all smartphones are created equal. Here’s where they match up, and where they don’t:

It’s fortunate that the iPhone OS 3.0 has been announced – if not for that, …

Yes, iPhone fans, the all-singing and dancing iPhone 3.0 OS has been finally unveiled, with a beta available for download and more!  The new features were publicised at an Apple event (view the video stream) and in my opinion, has turned the iPhone from a gadget into a true business tool.   Here are some of the highlights:

The Nokia E75 is a GSM/WCDMA dual-mode business smartphone supporting WCDMA/HSDPA, EGSM, and WLAN. The device features a side slider qwerty keyboard for optimal email experience.

Apple has announced a sneak peek at the iPhone 3.0 software at an event scheduled for 10 a.m. March 17.  With less than a day to go, the rumour mill is working overtime, predicitng features that every iPhone fan is secretly wishing in his/her heart, such as copy and paste, video recording and more.

The biggest rumours have been generated by Digg founder Kevin Rose, who is sticking his neck out and claiming the following:
