2:19PM Nick Broughall | As picked up by David Flynn at APC, Telstra CEO David Thodey has responded to a comment on the Telstra Exchange blog to announce that the company is “working with Apple to enable tethering on the iPhone”, although he can’t reveal any specific dates.

3:47PM Nick Broughall | Earlier this week, the guys at Pioneer let me drive around in one of their cars for a couple of days to test out the AVIC-F10BT in-dash satnav entertainment system. And now that I’ve tasted the supple delights of the AVIC, my own car’s stereo system seems old and tired, like a Hollywood starlet who’s let herself go. My satnav – once the pride and joy of my glovebox – now seems clunky and cumbersome. If I could, I’d take my car and the AVIC system to Vegas and get them hitched, because the simple fact is that they belong together. More »
