    Google V Groupon: G-Offers Bid For Deals As Facebook Jumps Ship

    But do we REALLY need another deals service? Just as Facebook ditches its Deals service, Google wades in to get a slice of the action.


    Currently only available in the US, Google Offers is now displayed on a prime retail site – its web search homepage.

    Offers, is one of the only instances Larry Page’s tech powerhouse has ever housed a service on its bare homepage, interrupting the clean design it usually abides by. 

    This shows Page’s Google is serious about its deals business, recently announced, and follows a failed $6bn takeover bid for daily deal market leader, Chicago based Groupon. 

    ‘Offer’s is currently in beta version confined to Portland, New York City, and San Francisco but is to roll out to other US cities in the coming months – and probably internationally, all going well. 
    Recent deals included 80% of a day trip to the New York Museum. 
    Google’s new business is joining the likes of Jump On It, Living Social Deals and the steady stream of others who have joined the market in the past year – globally the industry is estimated to be worth almost $4 billion by 2015 in the US alone, a 400 percent jump to its worth in 2010 – just $873m. 
    And it is an industry already well established here in Australia, with Groupon (formerly operating as Stardeals), joining the likes of Living Social, Cudo and Harvey Norman’s Best Buys. 
    On any given day, I receive around eight ‘stunning’ and ‘amazing’ 80% off daily deals and is fast reaching saturation point (and flooding my inbox). There’s only so many 60% off massages any one person can take. 
    Google’s websites combined attracted over 180 million visitors in the month of July in the US  and has plenty plans up Internet sleeve – meaning Groupon et al now has a serious competitor on its hands. 
    “We occasionally include a link on the Google homepage that points users to important information, whether it be about a relevant cause, a new product or an offer,” a Google spokeswoman said. 
    “Users can benefit from learning about great deals from local organisations.” 
    Stephanie Tilenius, vice president of Google Commerce has also recently admitted there will be more “density” to Offers, meaning possible integration with Google +, mobile commerce apps like Wallet or Shopper or maybe even Android itself. 
     

    No other deals website gets traffic or has resources of such titanic proportions at its fingertips. 

    Out with the old, in with the new 
     But as it expands this service, Google has decided to ditch some of its ahem, less successful ventures including Aardvark, Desktop, Fast Flip, Google Maps API for Flash, Google Pack, Google Web Security, Image Labeler, Notebook, Sidewiki and Subscribed Links. 
    But Google ‘The Innovator’ won’t be stopping any time soon – “We’ll continue to take risks on interesting new technologies with a lot of potential,” writes Alan Eustace, Senior Vice President, on Google official blog. 
    “We’ve never been afraid to try big, bold things, and that won’t change.”

    Google are taking to space along with Titanic director James Cameron.

    Larry Page, Google CEO, along Sergy Brin and Exec Chairman Eric Schmidt have backed a space venture, which is tipped to be lurking for asteroids and other natural resources.

    Microsoft’s Charles Simonyi and Ross Perot, Jr are also in on the venture which will examine the earth’s resource base.

    The start up ‘Planetary Resources’, announced yesterday, will examine “two critical sectors – space exploration and natural resources – to add trillions of dollars to the global GDP.

    “This innovative start-up will create a new industry and a new definition of ‘natural resources’,” according to a statement.

    According to the Wall Street Journal, Planetary Resources will explore the feasibility of mining natural resources from asteroids.

    The multi million dollar exploration venture also includes space entrepreneur Eric Anderson; former NASA mission manager Chris Lewicki and astronaut Tom Jones, Peter H. Diamandis will lead the commercial space venture “with a mission to help ensure humanity’s prosperity.”

    Planetary Resources will create a new industry and a new definition of ‘natural resources’, it says, although was scant on precise detail, reckons it will save humanity.

     

    All will be revealed at a news conference scheduled for tomorrow Tuesday, April 24 at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, however:

    “Join us to learn about our mission and how we plan to revolutionize current space exploration and help ensure humanity’s prosperity for generations to come.”

    Telstra Reveal ‘Secret’ iPhone 4S Plan

    Telstra cloak and dagger iPhone antics are ongoing – offering hush hush registration for iPhone 4S out Friday but have unveiled new plans.


    Click to enlarge

    Telstra iPhone 4S plans start at $59, $79, $99 and $129 – more expensive than Optus’ caps which range from $49 to $99 – but offering less data than rivals on more pricier plans.

    The $129 Telstra cap offers just 3GB data, with Optus offering the same 3GB allowance on a cheaper $79 deal.

    However, the $59 Freedom Connect cap offers a generous 1.5GB of data, $550 in calls and MMS, unlimited text, and costs an additional $4, $8 or $13 for 16GB, 32GB and 64GB iPhone 4S, respectively.

    This $59 deal is the cheapest way to get the new handset on Telstra Next G network.

    In contrast, Vodafone will offer the 16GB iPhone 4S on a $29 cap with an extra $15 monthly instalment for the phone: $5 cheaper per month than Optus’ lowest plan.

    Read Vodafone Fight Back: iPhone 4S $29 Cap

    On Voda’s Infinite caps, the new Apple is available from $45 to $100 for existing customers, but comes free on its high end $85 and $100 plans.

    Once a consumer has registered their details with Telstra online, they are met with the message:  “The secret is out…Thank you for registering.”

    However, David Thodey’s telco appears to think its fastest network speeds on 4G is enough to save the day, despite the higher charges compared to Optus and Vodafone:

    “We’re delighted to bring the highly anticipated iPhone 4S to our customers on Australia’s largest and fastest national mobile network,” Warwick Bray, Telstra Mobile, director, declared.

    “We know customers will love the speed and coverage available on the Telstra Mobile Network as they enjoy all the new features of iPhone 4S.”

     

    Telstra stores will open their doors at 8am to allow for consumers to get thier mitts on iPhone 4S but Vodafone are going one better and will deliver it to consumers, saying ‘why line-up for hours on end when you can get it delivered?”

    The red telco opened up pre-orders for iPhone 4S on 12-month plans today.

    Optus are also allowing customers who pre-order online to come into the store to collect the cult device.

    All 13 Apple stores in Australia will be opening at 8am to meet demand. One million iPhone have already been sold on pre-order, the highest ever record for an Apple device, it said yesterday.

    Tab Threat: LG Slash LCDs As iPad 2 & Androids Call The Shots

    TV is in serious trouble as LG is ‘likely’ to report losses in current quarter and slash investment.


    Click to enlarge

    Why? Two words: tablets and smartphones. 
    iPad 2, Android tabs and smartphones are increasingly eating into LCD and smart TV market share, it appears, with Korean giant LG the latest maker to report major woes in the category, cutting investment by a quarter, according to a Reuters report. 

    The dip in PC demand is also hitting LCD display demand and the global recession isn’t helping matters either, particularly in debt ravaged US and European markets. 
    LG, one of the top TV brands in Australia, releasing its 3D Cinema TV range with much aplomb in April and passive 55″ 3D technology just last month, now appears to be painting a much duller picture of one of its core businesses, TV panels. 
    “We plan around 3 trillion won ($2.8 billion) of capital spending next year and have no plans to build a new factory,” a LG Display spokesman confirmed. 
    In July, it reported 87.3% plunge in net profits for second-quarter of the year with LG’s display division posting a shocking 96 per cent dip in net profits from 554.8 billion won in 2010 to 21.3 billion won, the same period this year. 
    This comes as a sales of Android handsets grew over 350% during Q2 alone and although LG is a player in this market also with smarthones like Optimus, it is far from a front runner, unlike Korean rival Samsung, and the takeoff of the tablet category offering mobile internet TV has also gobbled display sales. 
    “LCD makers will keep 2012 investment plan conservative and LG is also likely to cut spending again as visibility is very low due to weak demand especially from Europe and the United States,” John Soh, Shinhan Investment & Securities analyst, said. 
    “LG is likely to report losses widening in the current quarter and the outlook for the next nine months or so is dreadful due to weak PC and TV demand.” 
     However, analysts predict its not the end of the road for LCD’s just yet, forecasting a demand resurgence in future quarters. 
     

    “Once it recovers and the supply has not increased because panel makers did not expend production, the industry can return to a healthy state,” one analyst said. 

     LG is already said to have cut TV sales forecasts by 20% earlier this year, joining the likes of Sony and Samsung as it battles mobile display dominance. 
    The growth of iPads is however, a double edged sword for LG as it is one of Apple’s main LCD suppliers.

    EA Move To Web Portal – Star Wars TOR, Here We Come

    Want games? They will come from EA Origin from Friday.


    Click to enlarge

    Origin, is Electronic Arts answer to online games store, which is to be unleashed to the web this Friday with around 150 titles available for download, according to the Walls Street Journal. 

    As an E3 2011 teaser, EA revealed its forthcoming titles yesterday which includes Mass Effect 3, Need For Speed: The Run and multiplayer Star Wars: The Old Republic, which will be available exclusively online,  to name but a few.

    This “exclusive” content appears to be the first part in a major offensive to move gamers to the web, with their massive store network losing money at the tills in recent quarters with flagging sales.

    And its not just home PC’s Origin will target. iPad, smartphone and Facebook style casual games are all to be included in the mix.

    There will also be exclusive trailers, demos and previews for the likes of Mass Effect 3, FIFA 12, SSX, Madden NFL 1.

    And titles like Battlefield 3, it seems, are to get their very own mobile version for smartphones and players can amass additional points by using the mobile version of the game, so there will be connectivity between the two versions.

    EA games move direct to the web however won’t include titles for consoles like X Box 360 or Playstation as these control their own e-presence. Nintendo launched its eShop for 3D S console just yesterday bringing 3D titles such as Pok_mon into the third dimension.

     Origin will also offer social networking features like Facebook letting gamers create profiles, interact and befriend each other through its own network and send messages.

    And speaking of social, EA also launched The Sims Social, a Facebook Sims game that allows interaction with others players similar to Farmville.

     

    ‘From exclusive demos to full-game downloads, Origin is the place consumers will go for the best game experiences,’ says EA exec David DeMartini.

    “When I see you achieving and doing great things in your game, I’m more inclined to be more interested in that product because I have social proof that you’re having a great time,” he added.

    ‘Highly Addicted’: Smartphone Users Confess Regular Habit

    Pictured: Ashton Kutcher glued to his mobile at SXSX.

    Smartphones are the new drug of choice among people in the Internet age, Ofcom warned today.


    Teens are major culprits with an ASTONISHING 60% of owners confessing to being ‘highly addicted’ to their iPhone, Android or other smart mobile. But adults are guilty also – with 7 % admitting they cant stay away. 
    The survey, carried out among British users show over 25% of adults and almost half of all teens own a smartphone. 
    But this is a new trend with most having bought these in just the last year. 
    Smartphone owners make significantly more calls and send more texts than regular mobile users (81% make calls every day compared with 53% of ‘regular’ users).  
    And teens are also ditching other activities like watching TV or reading as they surf the web or text from their multitasking phone.  
    “The rapid growth in the use of smartphones – which offer internet access, email and a variety of internet-based applications – is changing the way many of us, particularly teenagers, act in social situations” says Ofcoms Communications market report. 
    The vast majority of smartphone users (81 per cent) have their mobile switched on all the time, even in bed, and use it socialising, during meals and over 20% of adults admitted using their handset in the toilet. Teens came out worse here – with almost 50% confessing to their toilet habit. 
    The line between work and social time is also becoming increasingly blurred, Ofcom research found.  Thirty per cent of smartphone users regularly take part in personal phone calls during work, compared with 23 per cent of regular mobile users.  
     

    Teenagers are more likely to have paid for an app download than adults, with games and music being the most popular. 

    Just a quarter (25 per cent) of adults had paid for an app compared to almost 40% of teens. 

    Plan Manager: Telstra Online Portal To Eliminate Bill Shockers

    Telstra’s new phone haven manages bill spend and lets users view their usage, meaning bill shockers are a thing of the past.


    Click to enlarge

    The new online portal, announced today, provides postpaid customers better “visibility and control” of their mobile spend, which they can access directly from their smartphone.

    My Plan Manager, available for all Telstra postpaid’s tells users how much mobile data has been used, how many days left until the next bill and update BigPond settings.

    Customers can also add a mobile data pack and purchase an International roaming data pack for the first time ever, the telco said  on its blog today.

    Additionally, a ‘Daily Data Usage’ tab has also been introduced, which displays a view of all the day’s data activities, to alert of hitting quota ceilings or additional costs.

    This new service is part of Telstra $1 billion makeover plan which includes ramping up its previously abhorrent customer service and comes jsut days after it launched a series of colourful ads in the media.

    Earlier this year, it introduced an anti bill shock system, alerting users who were about to exceed data and plan quotas via text.

    The My Plan Manager is on the “My” Tab on Telstra branded handset and is unmetered within Australia, so no fees for use.

    More Australians than ever are using the mobile internet on their phones, with 61% now accessing the internet on their mobiles daily – making My Plan a handy tool to monitor the data consumption.

    “We recognise that we need to provide you with more convenient ways to deal with Telstra for certain types of transactions – and at times and places that suit you,” Telstra’s Mobile Service Director, Nick Ruddock said.

    Voda has revealed its iPhone 4S plans – its cheapest going for just $29 – hot on the heels of rival Tesltra who unveiled its plan, earlier today.

    ‘Cap’ plans vary from $29 to $79, while Apple’s iPhone 4S will be available on there Infinite plan(calls, text) deals ranging from $45-$100, Vodafone has announced.

    However the $49, $59 and $79 caps come with generous 1.5GB, 2GB, 3GB data, meaning you can download data ’til the cows come home (well pretty much).

    The cheapest iPhone deal from Vodafone is the $29 cap which comes unlimited Voda to Voda calls, 200MB data and the handset is free, regardless of whether its the 16GB, 32GB or 64GB model.

    Telstra’s cheapest deal, in comparison, is its $59 Freedom Connect plan, introducing the company’s $79, $99 and $129 offers, while Optus are offering the new iPhone on a $49 option. 

    Voda’s Infinite deals also comes with decent data allowances, particularly on the $65 (2GB), $85 (3GB) and $100 (4GB) and free calls and texts to any network in Oz, while Telstra’s data allowances, although on the faster network, are notably lacking especially on higher priced plans.

    Aside from $29 cap, on all other plans, handset instalments range from $8 to a whopping $57 monthly  – depending on the plan, although iPhone 4S 64GB appears to be the priciest option, while the 8GB model has minimal fees.

    But Vodafone have just announced another $30 prepaid Cap recharge aimed at the younger market, with $450 credit that can be used on standard and international calls, but also gives ‘Infinite’ texting, social networking on Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Linked in & My Space , plus 500MB data, in Australia.

    And Voda will even deliver the iPhone 4S to your door this Friday, when the device will go on sale nationwide at 8am.

     

    “We are pleased to announce pre-order for the iPhone 4S on 12-month plans for Business and Consumer (Vodafone Cap and Vodafone Infinite) will commence today,12 October, 2011 at 10am.”

    Vodafone also told SmartHouse yesterday consumer interest in iPhone 4S, announced by Apple just last week, has been strong:

    “Australia’s love affair with iPhone continues. Since pre-ordering opened yesterday, the appetite we’ve seen for the iPhone 4S has been very strong,” declared Noel Hamill, Vodafone, Director of Sales.

    “It’s the first time pre-ordering the iPhone has been available, and customers are definitely taking advantage of that to get in early.”

    There are three ways to pre-order the iPhone 4S from the telco, in-store, online (www.vodafone.com.au/iphone) or call 1300 300 404.

    iPhone 4S: Why Topless Virgins Are Best

    Cheeky Virgin has come running to give its tuppence worth to Aussies with tasty iPhone 4S deal as Telstra, Optus and Vodafone jostle for marketshare. Why, the iPhone can even be bought topless.
    Virgin Mobile made its iPhone 4S strategy public today – unveiling $29, $39, $49, $59 ‘Fair Go’ caps as well as a ‘Topless’ iPhone 4S deal and the fledgling telco appear to be giving rivals a run for their money.

    The cheapest, $29 cap comes with 250MB data and $17 monthly instalment meaning Apple cult phone will set you back $46 monthly for the 16GB model.

    On comparison, Vodafone $29 and $30 cap appears to be still cheaper than Virgin (with unlimited Voda to Voda calls, 200MB data and the handset costs $15-$25 depending on16GB, 32GB or 64GB model) competes very well with Virgin’s cheapest deal.

    And Voda’s new $30 cap unveiled yesterday is also a pretty sweet deal on low budget offers $450 credit that can be used on standard and international calls, ‘Infinite’ texting, social networking, plus 500MB data. The telco also appears to be one of the only offering the cult handset on a 12 month contract.

    But Virgin have also just this minute unveiled a ‘Big Cap’ $29 and $39 plans offering everything it can muster including – unlimited Virgin to Virgin, international calls, rollover and free voicemail as well as 250MB and 500MB data respectively. (Phew)

    Meanwhile further up the scale, a 32GB model on $39 ‘Fair Go’ will set you back $57 on Virgin Mobile while on $49 cap will cost $62.

    $39 and $49 caps are sadly lacking on Telstra with Freedom Connect starting at $59, while Optus iPhone 4S plans begin at $49.

    However, Virgin’s $59 cap that really comparable with Telstra Freedom Connect equivilant $59 deal which offers 1.5GB of data, $550 in calls and MMS, unlimited text, and costs an additional $4, $8 or $13 for 16GB, 32GB and 64GB iPhone 4S, respectively.

    Well tough luck Telstra, as Virgin appear to wipe the floor with you – the Optus owned telco is offering $59 Fair Go with a substantial $3GB data with $700 credit and either $10 (32GB) or $15 (64GB) phone fee.

    And its Topless plan is going for $89 which gives unlimited standard calls/text as well as zero fee on 16GB or 32GB with a measly $3 fee for 64GB model, which appears to top Telstra’s $79 or $129 deals.

    However, the edge Telstra has is its speedier 4G network, a feature its 3G rivals lack.

    And Aussies’ comparison website WhistleOut predicted as much:

    “If the past year is anything to go by, it will be the smaller Virgin Mobile which will be most competitive on pricing as Virgin Mobile have had the most competitive prices on both the iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy S 2 for the past 12 months,” says Cameron.

    However, Telstra has priced the new model far more aggressively than the original iPhone 4 model.

    And if you’re dizzy from all the iPhone 4S plans, its hardly surprising: the iPhone 4S release has inspired a whopping 200 new plan combinations in total and pricing is far better than under iPhone 4 regime, say WhistleOut.

    “At these price points, the new iPhone 4S model is definitely a better deal than the pricing on the original iPhone 4 16GB and 32GB models.”

    Telstra’s new iPhone 4S prices in particular are squarely aimed at taking the fight to Optus and Vodafone and are far more competitive and evenly matched than before, even undercutting Optus on the iPhone 4S 16GB on the $59 Cap which has been one of the most popular and competitive price points,” says Cameron Craig, Director of WhistleOut.

    “Overall, it is a great picture for consumers: when the original iPhone 4 prices do drop, there will be respectable price points for every category of consumer. The exception is the new 64GB variant which is the diamond of the iPhone range where the only $0 phone repayment options are $100 per month,” says Cameron.

     

    While it looks almost identical to the iPhone 4, there have been significant internal changes, including a faster processor, a more advanced camera, and a new antenna design.

     “When it launched, the iPhone was a prestige phone, while now it is ‘mass-tige’, with an offering at every price point.
    However, this is not necessarily a good thing as although it is now “accessible”, it is less “aspirational” Craig notes.
