Data sessions on your mobile

Data sessions on your mobile

Comments 1 comment

There has been a lot of coverage lately of Vodafone Australia’s decision to start charging data in 1MB increments on prepaid plans, a lot of it incorrect, misinformed etc. Other providers also do this such as Prepaid Optus 3G & Kogan. So let’s try and explain it a bit The 1MB increments refer to data sessions from your mobile device. On most smartphone platforms a push notification service will remain constantly connected in the background meaning you always have a data…

iMessage: Are you doing it wrong?

iMessage: Are you doing it wrong?

Comments 0 Comment

Over the past few weeks I’ve seen quite a few ridiculous comments on forums about people wanting particular iMessage email addresses for each iDevice they have. You need to think if that’s how you really want to use iMessage. That’s certainly not what it was designed to solve. If you’ve been living under a rock, iMessage is one of the new features Apple added to iOS 5 and is essentially free messaging across your Apple devices. If you take email…

Telstra, we have a problem

Telstra, we have a problem

Comments 2 comments

Over the last few months access to Telstra mobile data in the Sydney and Melbourne CBDs seems to be getting worse and worse. I manage about 25 iPhones and iPads, all connected to Telstra and complaints by users of having no data access are on the rise. During the morning peak, lunch time and evening peak everyday I will experience full signal but no data transfer at all. Resulting in failed iMessages, inability to send/receive email and a battery that…

And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the…

HTC Mozart: So after 2 weeks…..

HTC Mozart: So after 2 weeks…..

Comments 0 Comment

So after two weeks what is the verdict? Will I ditch my iPhone 4? Will I keep using the HTC Mozart? No & Definitely For users getting a smartphone for the first time this device would be great, however the iPhone (iOS) has had time to mature as a platform and so making the switch to me would be a downgrade. There simply aren’t all the apps available that I need (want) to be able to exclusively use Windows Phone…

HTC Mozart: First Impressions

HTC Mozart: First Impressions

Comments 0 Comment

Note: These are only some very initial comments based on about an hour of playing with the device The overall design of the phone is quite sleek and the build quality seems good when the device is in hand. It’s slightly lighter than the iPhone 4 (only by 7 grams according to the specs) but for some reason that’s noticeable. The phone was quick enough to setup. After entering your Windows Live ID and password to activate the device and…
