    Smart Office

    Hello Vodafone… When Is 4G Coming?

    When will Voda join the 4G race?
    The telco has previously said it will launch 4G LTE services on 1800 Mhz spectrum in the first half of this year.

    But the launch of Vodafone’s 4G service will be “sooner rather than later” a spokesperson told SmartHouse this week, although failed to be more specific on timing.

    However, the telco appears to be concentrating on getting its 3G network in order, first of all, before it moves on to the next big thing in mobile networks, 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE), which promises much faster download/upload speeds.

    “It is on our list of priorities, but our focus is still on 3G,” the spokesperson said.

    Vodafone is investing over $1.7 billion into its 3G network, and faster 3G+ (Dual Carrier HSPA+) network upgrades after the network crashed in 2011, leading to a PR nightmare for Australia’s telco No. 3, with thousands fleeing the network.

    Vodafone believes the demand for 4G has not yet peaked, and only once the number of 4G-ready handsets increases, will consumer demand spike. Then it will pounce.

    However, it is very likely many mobile users upgrading this year will opt for a 4G device, as the telco’s push the technology more and more.

    Its base station sites are equipped with 4G-ready network technology and roll out of 4G service will be “rapid” once it kicks off.

    4G mobile service is still in relative infancy in Australia, and number of compatible handsets was, until recently, fairly limited.

    However, the release of 4G-ready iPhone 5, did a lot to promote the network technology, along with Samsung S III, Note II, HTC 8X and several others, all now sold here at either Optus or Telstra. 
     
    Telstra has the biggest 4G network covering 40% of the population, although they say this will increase to 66% by the end of 2013 with a $1.2bn planned expansion.

    The telco claims to have over one million 4G customers, although a large chunk of this figure is believed to be mobile broadband subscribers rather than smartphone users.

    However, Telstra would not be drawn on the number of 4G mobile users when contacted by SmartHouse, but a spokesperson said the information will be released at its half year earnings announcement tommorrow.

     

    Optus too are on the 4G trail, although its coverage is still limited to a smattering of metro areas in the main cities and Newcastle, NSW, as are iiNet.

    However, Optus has been shy of saying how many 4G customers it actually has on its LTE network, so far, although a spokesperson told us customer demand has been “strong but cannot provide customer numbers at this point in time.”

    3G + is still Optus’ “workhorse” and “still used by the majority” of customers, Networks MD Guenther Ottendorfer said in December, and is still investing heavily in 3G+ upgrades across Oz.

    But although it promises faster speeds, 4G is not all it’s cracked up to be either, as research shows 4G users are prone to higher data bills and ‘bill shock’, due to the inordinate amounts of data they consume without even being aware, due to the far higher data speeds.

    Telstra’s typical 4G download speeds are 2Mbps – 40Mbps while Optus says its 4G TD LTE network has typical download speeds from 25Mbps – 87Mbps.

    iPod Touch-Up: Apple’s Micky Mouse Revamp $219

    Clock faces, Minnie Mouse, cloud storage. It’s hardly a revolution. Either way, Apple is shouting loud over its revamped iPods which come with iMessage, iOS 5, iCloud.
    The new iPod Touch features a redesigned user interface, improved built-in fitness features, iCloud storage, while Nano features some slight retouches including fitness programme, new clock interfaces and bigger icons.

    Touch comes with iOS 5, Apple’s updated operating system, including over 200 new features including iMessage, Game Center, Notifications and Wi-Fi syncing to iTunes.

    iMessage brings the functionality of iPhone messaging to iPod, say Apple, allowing users send texts, photos, videos and contact information to other iOS users only and allows maintain one conversation across all iOS devices for free – and with notifications.

    The new iPod comes in three versions including an 8GB and 23GB, in black and white and will be available Down Under 13 October. This underwhelming launch comes as iPhone 4S failed to deliver the promised land Apple handset fans were hoping for, in California yesterday.

    iCloud storage pushes music, including iTunes as well as Photo Stream and Documents to the Cloud, that work “seamlessly” with other Apple devices like Mac or iPad.

    When content changes on one device, all other devices will be updated automatically. Handy.

    iPod nano has hardly changed at all bar slight software tweaks but now features larger icons for even easier navigation of its intuitive Multi-Touch interface.

    “You can (now) choose from 16 new digital clock faces, ranging from classic analog looks to your favourite Disney characters including Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse.”

    But if Minnie Mouse isn’t enough iPod nano will at least keep you thin.

     

    Nano, priced at $149 (8GB) or $169 (16GB) can track the time, pace and distance of your run, the calories you burn, and the number of steps you walk.

    “iPod nano encourages you with motivational real-time voice feedback during your run, available in seven languages, while listening to your favourite music or FM radio station”. Users can also upload workouts to the Nike+ website.

    “iPod has revolutionised the way we listen to music and with over 320 million sold is the world’s most popular music player,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior VP, Worldwide Product Marketing.

    “iPod Touch, now available in both black and white, is the best selling iPod ever, and with iOS 5 and iCloud it is better than ever.”

    The new nano is available in seven colours including silver, graphite, blue, green, orange, pink and red adn goeson sale here today.

    Apple’s “holiday lineup” includes iPod shuffle cut priced at $55; iPod nano with Multi-Touch starting at $149.

    iOS 5 will also be available as a free software update for iPod touch (3rd and 4th gen) users allowing them to experience the new features.

    Facebook Tech Guru Quits

    The Social Network is one man down after technology boss leaves.


    Click to enlarge

    Bret Taylor, Facebook’s Chief Technology Officer, is leaving the network to start up his own venture in the coming weeks.

    Taylor joined the company  in 2009 after it acquired his social network aggregator FriendFeed and was one of the co-creators of Google Maps, reports Forbes.

    Taylor made the announcement Friday.

    This is one of the the first major staff departures from the network which began in 2004.

    Taylor said he was “sad to be leaving, but I’m excited to be starting a company with my friend Kevin Gibbs.”

    It is not clear what the mystery new start-up will be.

    The tech guru said he was “very proud of our recent accomplishments in our platform and mobile products, from Open Graph and App Center to Facebook Camera and our iOS integration.

    “I’m even more excited for the world to see all the amazing things these teams have coming.”

    Facebook’s fortunes have taken a tumble since it made it debut on the stock market last month with initial $38 price falling over 20%, although its share price rose late Friday.

     

    “I’ve learned more than I ever imagined in my time at Facebook,” Taylor said and gave “special thanks” his boss to Mark Zuckerberg.

    “You’ve not only been my boss for the past three years, but my mentor and one of my closest friends.”

    We’re Up: TPG Profit Soar 65%

    Cheap broadband is paying off: TPG are flying high on profits of $55m – up 65%.


    Click to enlarge

    The ISP announced its first half year financials to 31 January 2012 which saw earnings before tax increase 17% to $131.9m.

    Subscriber growth was driven by the TPG’s fiercely priced  ADLS2+ and home phone bundle plans, which grew by 49,000 subscribers during the six months, it said yesterday.

    However, there was a 23,000 decline in standalone ‘on-net’ services and ‘off-net’ subscribers (7,000), with total net increase of  19,000.

    And its fledgling mobile business launched in September is also showing “momentum” with net growth of 21,000 customers in the 6 months, bringing TPG’s total mobile base to 222,000.

    Cashflow was “very strong” at $76.6m (after tax, interest and capital expenditure), which enabled the acquisition of cloud firm IntraPower for $12.8 million last year and the purchase of “significant” shareholding in iiNet, which it was rumored to be keen to acquire also.

    Net profit after tax was $55.7m, a 65% increase over same time 2011.

    The Group is also “well positioned” to achieve its earnings guidance for the full year of $250m-$260m.

    During the half year the Group created a Corporate division with the corporate, government and wholesale businesses of TPG, Soul, and PIPE, which delivered “excellent” first half results, providing 44% of the Group’s total earnings.

     

    TPG’s fibre network expansion has also continued over the half with an additional 417km, a 26% increase over 31 July 2011, to a total of 2,264km.

    Earnings per share increased by 61% to 7.1 cents per share.

    In light of the strength of Group earnings, the Board of Directors declared an increase in the interim FY12 dividend by 22% to 2.75 cents per share (fully franked), payable on 22 May to shareholders on the register at 17 April 2012.

    HTC Gingerbread: Flash, Fast ..Do You Desire S?

    HTC’s new breed of Android 2.3 Desire S and Wildfire S Gingerbread entered the mobile arena with much furore last night.

    HTC Desire S

    The new HTCs running Gingerbread are updates to the original Desire and Wildfire, among the first Androids to hit Aussie shores last year. 

    And how times have changed. And not just for Android. HTC is also making its mark in the market here, which was reflected in the launch turnout last night at Sydney’s upmarket Quarter Twenty One venue.
    So, down to the hard facts. What is the Desire S and Wildfire S bringing to the table that’s new and not already been done. And why would one want to buy it over the slew of Android’s hitting town every day?

    As pointed out by Smarthouse last month, HTC have released dated handsets on to the market here, such as the Incredible S, months after Europe and the US.

    The 3.7 inch WVGA touchscreen (480 x 800 res) Desire S is a “next gen” premium device and hits the sweet spot for people who want a “premium Android smartphone experience,” said Ben Hodgson, Manager, HTC Australia.
    Specs-wise it comes with HTC Sense, super fast speed with 1GHz processor, 5 MP camera (front and rear), HD video, and “presents multimedia content brilliantly,” say HTC. And if you loved the Desire, this “stays true” to the original model, say its Taiwanese maker. 
    The device is made from single block of aluminium making it feel solid and natural in your hand through a slimmer unibody design.  
    And for multimedia junkies it delivers crisp virtual surround sound via SRS WOW HD and microSD memory card (which is SD 2.0 compatible) and also supports Flash 10.2.

    HTC Wildfire S

    Up close, Desire S lighter than the original model the screen is crisp clear – the res has been improved 30-40 per cent, say its makers, and seems far more responsive and instant in functionality thanks to Qualcomm’s upgraded 1GHz 8255 Snapdragon processor.

    It also runs for longer (about 24 hours) without dying and the battery is bigger. 
    Gingerbread 2.3 has introduced 300 new Android changes including more widgets, skins and sounds. 

    Price-wise, it can be bought outright for $648 or on a $59 cap for $5 a month additional charge for the phone, identical to the Samsung Galaxy II if memory serves me correctly. (Hmm, funny that). 

    And what’s more, it will also be released just a day before the new Galaxy II on May 31, which is getting its Aussie media debut tonight.

    Wildfire on the other hand is the middle of the road option, “is affordable and compact without compromising the quality” and aimed at the younger market, Hodgson adds.  
    The 3.2 inch touch screen (320 x 480 res) Wildfire S is the small brother to Desire S and has some similar specs with  5 MP camera and the same microSD capability and also boasts a 600 MHz processor. So, almost as fast but not quite. 
    Wildfire S is also social networking friendly with Facebook ‘share experience’, Friend Stream (which groups friends’ networking updates including Twitter and MySpace together) and other extras including remembering friends birthdays and other vital information. 
    But, it does entertain and has really fast streaming to boot and offers mobile Foxtel capability offering up to 33 TV channels, straight to the Wildfire S screen. 
    It is also lightweight at 105 g (3.7 ounces) and comes with other quirks like digital compass and light sensor. 
    Both models offer the strong element of personalisation on the user interface which users love with HTC’s and these two new numbers are no different. 

     
    Price-wise, Wildfire can be bought for $360 outright but also come with plan although these have yet to be announced, probably before its release on July 19th. 

    Telstra has an “exclusive” grasp on both HTCs for now.
    “The original HTC Desire was a huge hit with our customers and helped usher in Australia’s interest in Android-powered phones,” said Andrew Volard, Director of Telstra Mobile Products. 
    We’re equally pleased to bring the affordable and compact Wildfire S to our customers. It’s tailored especially for our younger customers with strong social networking features and lots of entertainment options including Mobile FOXTEL from Telstra.” 

    Amazon: Hello OZ, We’re On Cloud

    Tech giant has arrived Down Under.
    Amazon cloud service, CloudFront, a pay-as-you-go for content and web delivery is now locally available to OZ players, with the establishment of a Sydney location. 

    “We’ve just added an edge location in Sydney, Australia (number 33, to be precise) to Amazon CloudFront and Amazon Route 53,” Amazon announced on a Web Services blog, dated June 20.

    The move was based on customer requests and a recent survey, the US e-tailer said.

    “We believe that this location will prove to be of great benefit to our customers, providing them with increased performance and reduced latency.”

    “CloudFront’s pricing model will provide Australian companies and global companies with a very cost-effective alternative to traditional content delivery solutions.”

    This new location will speed up the delivery of static, streaming and content to end users in Australia, and accelerate the resolution of local issues.

    The CloudFront location in Sydney supports the entire array of CloudFront features including support for dynamic content, low minimum content expiration periods, live streaming to multiple devices using FMS 4.5 or smooth streaming, streaming media, private content, invalidation, and custom origins.

    Michael Malone has resigned today from his role as CEO and Board director of iiNet.

    Malone, who has been on a sabbatical from the telco since November, made the decision to leave permanently while on leave. 

    At the time, he said he was taking leave to recharge his batteries. “Over the past three months, I’ve had the opportunity to pursue activities I’m passionate about, and taken time out to meet many inspirational individuals from across the globe,” Malone said. 

    “During this time away from the business, it became clear to me leading iiNet and its passionate staff requires 24×7 commitment, energy and enthusiasm. I have been able to achieve that for over 20 years but have come to the point where I want to dedicate my time to other opportunities.”

    He admitted it will be “incredibly hard for me to move on but I plan to keep a strong relationship with the company and all of its staff, many of whom are close friends.” 

    It is not known what his next move will be. 

    “This is an ideal time to leave – iiNet is in the best financial shape it has ever been and has a strong growth plan for future success.”

    Australia’s second largest DSL Internet Service Provider reported net profit after tax up 19% to $31 million for the half year to December 31, and sales up 4%. Malone founded Perth-based iiNet in a garage back in 1993. David Buckingham will continue to act in the role of iiNet CEO for the interim, but could be made permanent if another suitable candidate is not found.

    The Board will be conducting an international search for a new CEO appointing a search firm in the next few days, and hopes to conclude the process before 30 June. “The board will ensure that the next iiNet CEO is the best available. If that turns out to be David, we will be delighted,” said iiNet Chairman, Michael Smith.

    Smith paid tribute to Malone, saying, “Michael is a legend and a telecommunications visionary; he has been the foundation of iiNet’s success. 

    “We are committed to ensuring his legacy and story lives on through a continued commitment to service excellence, challenging the status quo, thinking for ourselves and growing.”

    After Nexus…Apple To Ban Samsung S III Next?

    After slapping a ban on Samsung Tab 10.1 and Nexus could Galaxy S III be next on Apple radar?

    Maybe, but if Apple decides Samsung’s Galaxy S III infringes upon more of its technology patents, it will stall the patents trial between the sparring duo due to kick off again at the end of the month.

    Samsung Galaxy S III is its critically acclaimed new flagship 4.8″ phone, released last month in ths US and globally, dubbed the device the forthcoming iPhone 5 must beat, and is to sell a total of 10 million in July, Samsung said last week.

    Apple won its case Friday last and was granted a preliminary injunction allowing the ban of Google Nexus for sale in the US –  the smartphone it co-created with Google and is the second Samsung casualty in a matter of weeks.

    The Cupertino giant is claiming a string of Samsung devices including Galaxy S II, Nexus, Tab 8.9 and Tab 10.1 all infringe on unique Apple mobile technology and “slavishly” copies its look and feel of iPhone and iPad.

    The Nexus was given the injunction by Judge Lucy Koh, who ruled the smartphone very likely infringed Apple’s “Siri patent” relating to unified search technology along with three others.

    “Apple could attack the S III with the Siri patent,” patents guru, Florian Mueller, told SmartHouse this week, but, notes, ” the judge indicated an attack on the S III would delay the July 30 trial.”

    Still, “if Apple moved for a preliminary injunction against the S III now over the Siri patent, it would be very likely to win,” Mueller blogged following Friday ruling in the US banning the sale of Google Nexus.

    Early last month, Apple did apply for a second motion against Samsung, “to supplement the record regarding Samsung’s Galaxy S III ” claiming it infringed the Siri ‘604’ patent and ‘647 data tapping patents. 

    However, arch enemy Samsung insisted the Court would require Apple to file a new motion and allow the parties to develop a full factual record on all four factors, notes Foss Patents, and the request was denied by the Californian court.

     

    Last week, Apple did manage to get a preliminary injunction against the sale of Samsung Tab 10.1 in the US, also an Android OS device, which was similarly banned in Australia last year, although this was later lifted late November.

    And the head to head tech patents battle between the two tech giants, which kicked off in 2010, is not confined to the courtroom. Samsung previously tried to get the iPhone 4S banned in several countries including OZ, but was refused.

    But figures out today showing Samsung still lead Apple in the critical US market with over 25% marketshare, and could inflame Apple’s rage against its Android rival, especially since the S III is now of the most preordered tech devices ever.

    REVEALED: Internet Traffic To Boom 7 TIMES

    NBN will have its work cut out, if these figure are correct.

    Internet traffic will grow 7-fold by 2016 in Australia, network giant Cisco has forecast.

    Traffic will reach 708 Petabytes – thats 1 million Gigabytes – per month in 2016, up from 97 PB in 2011 – or to put it another way its equivalent to 2 billion DVDs per year.

    Cisco forecasts Internet usage among Aussies will grow 49% every year until 2016.

    And the gigabyte equivalent of all movies ever made will cross the Internet every 8 hours, according to Cisco’s VNI Forecast.

    But it seems we will also be accessing the Net via our smartphone and tablets even more – with mobile data traffic to grow 14-fold in the next four years, at an astonishing 68% growth rate yearly.

    There will be 142 million networked devices in 2016, up from 93 m in 2011.

    We will be watching more web videos – 14 billion minutes per month – whether its posted on YouTube or streamed content or catch up TV from the likes of ABC iView, compared to just 4 bn now.

    Or to put it another way, Aus Internet traffic in 2016 will be equivalent to watching 242,418 DVDs per hour.

    And we will each use generate 30.1 GB of Internet traffic per month in 2016, on average – thats a whopping 577% rise from the paltry 4.5 GB we currently use.

    And almost 13% of all Internet households in Oz (757,889) will be generating more than a massive 100 GB per month in 2016, up from 54,692 last year.

    However, it seems our internet speeds will also be faster – 95% of broadband connections will be “faster than 5 Mbps in 2016” the forecast also indicates.

     

    Last week NBN Co Chief Mike Quigley revealed 37 % of active users on high speed fibre network are opting for the fastest speed tier, 100Mbps down and 40Mbps up.

    NBN service is said to be partly completed by 2015, just in time to deliver the high speeds hungry Internet users in Oz will demand.

    BigPond Movies, Foxtel, iPhone: Bin Your DVD’s Telstra Fires IPTV Artillary

    iPhone remote control, FOXTEL on T-Box, and BigPond on tabs. Cancel your video membership, throw out your DVD’s, Telstra are in TV town with IPTV on tap and say web TV content is now “reality.”

    The telco have added Foxtel on T-Box for its ADSL customers in “selected areas” of NSW and Victoria, which  gives its broadband users access to 30 new channels.

    However, its reach is limited to just NSW and Vic, for now, and follows the switch-on of the service for cable customers in June.

    This comes as the telco said in July it would scrap its BigPond movie rental service.

    But all is not lost – BigPond Movies service is “coming soon” for tablets, it announced yesterday, as well as iPhone free app, which it says is Australia’s ‘first’ and gives T-Box users the ability to change channels, record and even mute the sound by shaking their smartphone.

    The app, which puts the T-Box remote on a smartphone screen allows users browse through channels, record a program from anywhere in their home, meaning if you’re in the bath and realise ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ has just started on the box, this is your job.

    But not to worry Android’s, a version of the app for the green man will be available “soon”.

    The new IPTV services come as research indicates more than 67% of Aussies haven’t hired a DVD in the past month due to “more convenient” way accessing movies, say Telstra, who are going gung ho on internet content as Optus makes a play for the IPTV user with TV Now mobile service.

    “Internet-enabled entertainment is fast becoming the norm as products like the Telstra T-Box and smart TVs become part of the furniture in living rooms across the country,” says Telstra executive director of media, J-B Rousselot.

    “The technology has evolved from being a novelty for technology enthusiasts into something anyone can understand and use.”

     

    The telco say they are “delighted” with the early take-up of the service, however, with less than 10% of Telstra cable customers  switching on the FOXTEL T-Box service.

    Since the launch of Telstra’s T-Box, more than 200,000 devices have been sold and 1.8m BigPond movies downloaded.

    And its a booming market if its internal research is to be believed. 34% of Aussies now have an IPTV product like a smart TV or set top box on their shopping list for the “immediate future.”

    “There’s no question the future of home entertainment is digital and the new services launched today, as well as the live AFL content arriving next year, is set to accelerate demand for the service even more,” Rousselot added.
