    Tap ‘N Go: MasterCard “Digital Wallet” Opens

    Digital wallet is now in the palm of your hand..on a smartphone.


    Click to enlarge

    PayPass Wallet Services, by MasterCard, is “a suite of technologies” that allows you make easy purchases in-store and online – regardless of the merchant – with ‘tap and go’ NFC technology.

    And best of all the service is free.

    After loading payment and shipping information, users can securely make purchases online just by clicking the PayPass Wallet button, regardless of the device you’re using.

    And once you’ve done it once you’ll never have to type in your credit card details ever again – or your billing and shipping details, for that matter.

    The digital wallet can be used in-store wherever you see the PayPass button, meaning swiping with EFTPOS cards could soon be a thing of the past.

    A PayPass Wallet mobile app is also on the way for iPhone or Android devices, Mastercard confirmed.

    However, there’s one snag – smartphones need to have Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to use the PayPass – meaning HTC One X, BlackBerryBold 9900 / 9790, BBCurve 9360 / 9380,  Nokia Lumia 610 NFC, Samsung’s Wave Y, Galaxy mini 2, Galaxy S Advance, Galaxy Nexus (GT-i9250), Sony’s Xperia S, Xperia P and  Xperia sola, are all compatible. 

    Some of these models are not even on sale in Oz and there are just a handful of NFC smarties on sale here at present – although this looks set to change this year. The new iPhone is also said to be NFC ready.

    The digital wallet works with MasterCard, Amercian Express, Visa, and Diners Club international and other branded cards – regardless of whether it is credit or debit.

    And if your worried about making a matrix of payments online, Mastercard say they have it covered with “multi-tiered security” built in and account’s identity verification controls.

    This new online capability complements the contactless PayPass system already in place at thousands of merchants worldwide. And the same wallet credentials used online can be accessed through the mobile app.

    Once activated, you can walk into any PayPass ready merchant today, tap your phone on the reader and the transaction is completed in seconds.

    JB HiFi has already endorsed the PayPass Wallet, which is due to be unveiled here in Q3, as have CBA and Westpac.

    “The future of retailing is about a harmonious experience both in-store and online, and with the PayPass Wallet Services we feel we’ll be able to provide innovative payment solutions to our customers to deliver on this,” says Richard Murray, CFO, JB Hi-Fi.

     

    Simon Black, CEO, Sage Pay also reckons its the way of the future:

    “A wallet on your smartphone promises convenience and security at a new level. Within just a few years the traditional wallet in developed economies will be a thing of the past.”

    “I’m delighted that PayPass will enable 40,000 Sage Pay merchants to offer their customers more choice of how to pay online, and over time, in store through contactless, for the fast growing number of consumers with NFC-enabled devices.”

    From Baker To Beckham: Samsung Hire ANOTHER Pretty Boy

    Samsung Electronics have announced David Beckham as the corporate face for its 2012 Olympic Games sponsorship.

    Soccer superstar and ladies favourite Beckham as brand ambassador will begin his role “with immediate effect” Samsung announced yesterday. 

    David Beckham was the electronics number one choice to be global ambassador for its sponsorship of London 2012 games.

    His success as a sportsman and his ambassadorial role in bringing the Olympic Games to London were among the many reasons for his selection, it said. 

    Born in Leytonstone, East London, just one tube stop from the new Olympic Park located in Stratford, Beckham will be on home ground.

     “I’m very proud to be part of the team that brought the Olympics to my home city, London.  It is one of the greatest events in the world,” he said.

    Gyehyun Kwon, VP & head of Worldwide Sports Marketing, said that Samsung and the LA Galaxy player shared a number of common values ranging from their mutual commitment to youth and their efforts to encourage participation in sports.

    Victoria Beckham’s better half will also be promoting the electronics giant’s role as Worldwide Olympic Partner for wireless communications equipment.

     “We’re delighted that David will be supporting our goal to extend the Olympic Games spectator experience to fans throughout the world using our leading smart mobile technology.”

    “David Beckham is a global sports icon who is helping to raise the profile of the London 2012 Olympics and attracting more of us to watch and to actively participate in the Games,” Gyehyun Kwon observed.

    “Samsung’s London 2012 marketing campaign will also place great importance on the value of engaging youth.”

    Is This A Logitiff? Logitech Unleash Wire Free Mouse/Webcam But No Harveys

    Logitech go on a accessories blitz, but without Harvey Norman by its side.


    Click to enlarge

    The accessories maker announced today the “imminent” release of its new M325 Wireless Mouse, which doesn’t need a laptop trackpad, thanks to its ‘Advanced Optical Tracking.’ 


    It also boasts comfortable handling and a specially moulded contour shape. 

    The $59 mouse also features a precision scroll wheel and 1.5 year battery life. 

    However, forget traipsing the aisles of Harvey Norman for the device, as it will be available Australia Post, Big W, Bing Lee, Dick Smith, Myer, Officeworks, The Good Guys and WOW” only, a Logitech release confirmed today. 

    Yesterday, Smarthouse reported how Harvey Norman was dumping Logitech products in favour of other vendors due to a falling out over the latter’s decsion to sell direct. And now the proof is in the pudding. 


    And it looks like Gerry Harvey and Co. are not taking the online move lying down – Belkin CEO Ian Mclean has admitted that Harvey Norman had ordered additional “mouse” products from  to replace a “current” in store range. So, it looks like mouse wars lie ahead. 

     

    Last week, Logitech launched Webcam C170 for $29 which promises  a “better overall experience with improved low light performance, sharper images, smoother video and richer colours.”



    REVEALED: OZ Top Smartphone Duds

    Hint: Its Black and tastes like fruit.


    Click to enlarge

    BlackBerry and HTC are the two biggest smartphone duds around, and the ones that break most commonly, says repair gurus Mobilion.

    The Sydney based company should know as it repairs thousands of phones through its centres every year for companies like Zurich and Macquarie Telecom, who manage hundreds of Nokias, BlackBerrys iPhones and Android smartphones on their corporate networks.

    So, what are the top faults on a BlackBerry?

    The touchscreen on BlackBerry 9900 devices crash often and “don’t like low battery,” while the top faults on the 9780 and 9700 suffer from a loss of trackpad sensitivity and speaker malfunction.

    But the 9800 and 9810 are pretty crappy also, a Mobilion exec told SmartHouse.

    HTC devices experience a lot of software issues, often crashing and failing to reboot, which “happens a lot.”

    Worse yet, If its not under warranty, repairs can set owners back as much as $70 to get fixed.

    Apple’s ubiquitous iPhone is “pretty good” and hardly crashes at all, says the repair guru, although speakers and microphones are the top things that go on the much loved smartie.

    But of course the top fault with all smartphones are cracked screens, which for an iPhone can cost $120 to $170 in other repair outlets.

    Apple’s arch rival Samsung has “very good phones,” but are very expensive to fix.

    The Galaxy S II can cost as much as $250-$270 to repair the screen alone, considering it has a high end AMOLED display. (Ouch).

    Phone cases and covers won’t prevent the screen from cracking but will help, added the Mobilion guru. 

    Samsung are “killing it” at the moment say Mobilion execs, who reckon Apple has “lost it” as they have no TV, entertainment units to connect their mobile devices to, unlike the Galaxy maker.

    “Samsung is killing it and Apple can’t stop it” he admits.

    Comparing the iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S III is like comparing “chalk and cheese”.

    The Korean giant is “seasons ahead now which in the tech world is a long time” and compares Samsung’s popularity (recently emerged as the world top phone maker) to Nokia’s supremacy several years back with models like 6130 and Motorola with their early flip phones.

     

    But companies are sticking to BlackBerry despite its “issues” due to BlackBerry’s enterprise server (BES) which gives good security and password functionality that other devices can’t match. (This writer also noted the Mobilion exec himself owns a BlackBerry).

    BlackBerry is considered a work “tool” and can hold a lot of emails, whereas Apple iPhones and a lot of Android smartphones are seen more as toys, although Apple are making a lot of steady inroads with corporate clients within the last 18 months, he adds.

    In addition, international calls are cheaper than ‘Droid or Apple due to BES and users can still take email and work communication while roaming, for free, as long as you don’t use data.

    And BlackBerry devices can handle a lot more data and email than iPhone or other platform, which appears to be its saving grace.

    iOS rival Android do make for good business phones but one major company recently knocked it back as a fleet device as it just “wasn’t secure enough.”

    So how long should a consumer have to wait for a phone repair?

    Mobilion have a 24 hour turnaround time but notes rival repair company Phonebiz, who does HTC and have just taken over Nokia official repairs, takes a “minimum” of 2 weeks, and are said to have a slow service.

    Meanwhile, Telstra repair centres will fix a phone in as little as 5 days, while Vodafone and Optus repairs are slower and can take anything from 1 to 3 weeks for Optus. 

    REVEALED: Dannii Minogue Web’s “Most Dangerous Celeb”

    She may not be as good as Kylie, but Dannii Minogue is the Most Dangerous online celeb in Australia, while Nicole Kidman is No. 2

    Fellow homegrown beauties Isla Fisher and Elle Macpherson are not far behind, ranking No. 11, and 16 respectively if you are searching for the celebs using ‘.com’ search engines.

    That’s according to McAfee’s Most Dangerous Celebrities 2012 study which found the most dangerous online celebs are nearly all female and warn searching for a celeb’s “nude pictures” or “free downloads” means surfers are likely to run into malware or cybercriminals looking to nick your personal info.

    Emma Watson, Jessica Biel and Eva Mendes were the top 3 “Most Dangerous Celebs” online while Cameron Diaz, Megan Fox and Sofia Vergara also made it into the top 10.

    Three supermodels made the top 20 list, meaning searching for Bar Refaeli (No. 17), and Kate Upton (No. 20) can result in landing on a risky site rather than pretty pics.

    Aussie fans searching on .com.au sites for “Dannii Minogue” and the search terms “free downloads”, “nude pictures” and “fakes” risk running into online threats designed to steal personal information or downloading viruses and malicious software known as malware, warns McAfee.

    Almost one in 11 resulting sites for Ms Minogue were identified by McAfee as “risky – even higher than searches for Emma Watson, which identified one risky website in around every eight results.

    Cybercriminals often use the names of popular celebrities to lure people to sites that are actually laden with malware. Web users should also be on the lookout for ‘malvertising’, where cybercrims exploit a user’s browser without their awareness, or mask malicious URLs behind shortened URLs.

    “Cyber criminals often disguise security threats in what appears to be a harmless website and use celebrity names and free downloads to lure users to their site,” said Melanie Cole, McAfee Asia Pacific.

     

    “Australians, just like users around the world, are at risk of coming across malicious websites when searching for such celebrity content. So to keep safe it’s important to think before you click.”

    McAfee Tips to Stay Protected:

    · Beware of content that prompts you to download anything before providing you with content. You may want to opt to watch streaming videos or download content from an established site, such as ABC’s iView or Netflix

    .· Free downloads are significantly the highest virus-prone search terms. Anyone searching for videos or files to download should be careful as not to unleash malware on their computer.

    · Since most people use a variety of devices to search for celebrities, be sure you have up to date, comprehensive security for all of your devices. It’s important to have protection, such as McAfee All Access, on all Internet-enabled devices, including PCs, Macs, smartphones, tablets and netbooks.·

    Forget e-Mail, Aus Post e-Box Opens

    First shopping, now even post has gone online.


    Click to enlarge
    Psot box is about to go virtual

    And we’re not talking email.

    Australia Post announce a free Digital MailBox service to be launched this year.

    The move was in response to record numbers of Australians moving their lives online.

    However, physical post will still be in play, so Mr PostMan’s job is safe. For now.

    The Digital MailBox will allow businesses, government and customers to communicate through a secure online portal that can be accessed 24/7  “wherever they are,” declared Australia Post Chairman, David Mortimer.

    “Just as the traditional letterbox has been a vital part of people’s communications for the past 200 years, we think a personal digital mailbox for every Australian is the perfect complement to the letterbox in this online revolution”.

    And with the amount of online parcels coming through their doors, an additional 30 Australia Post superstores are to be opened in response to the 10 million Aussies shopping online.

    The Post Office delivered a whopping three million parcels extra during Christmas 2011.

    The new superstores will have a 24-hour zone with vending machines, parcel lockers and self-service terminals, as well as a Harvey World Travel store, an American Express currency exchange outlet and a concierge to help customers.

    The 24/7 zone will give customers around-the-clock access to post and collect parcels, pay for postage, purchase stamps and packaging products, pay bills and use an Australia Post ATM.

    Following successful parcel locker trials in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, Oz Post are extending parcel lockers to 10 sites in total, with plans for a national rollout.

    The superstore will even be kitted out with Apple Macs, iPads and digital screens to allow customers to shop or research online, arrange their parcel delivery electronically and navigate key products and services.

    To help small to medium businesses take advantage of the online shopping boom, Australia Post will open a further 16 dedicated Business Hubs around Australia by the end of June, in addition to the seven that are already open.

     

    The second superstore opens tomorrow in Melbourne, following the first opening in Brisbane late last year.

    The next superstores will be in Werribee and Collins Street West, Melbourne (VIC), Cairns and Capalaba (QLD), Queanbeyan, Shellharbour and North Sydney (NSW), Launceston (TAS) and West Perth (WA).

    Huawei Begs NBN Mercy On Cyber War Fears

    Chinese telco with suspected government links has been banned from NBN by Federal Government following fears of cyber attack.
    The Labour government has refused the Shenzhen based telecoms giant any of the multiple million dollar contracts for construction of the $36 billion National Broadband Network project, according to reports.

    Julia Gillard and Co, it appears, fear doing business with Chinese owned Huawei may put Australia’s broadband network in danger of espionage by the Chinese government following advise from the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), according to the Australian Financial Review.

    The refusal to let Huawei in on the lucrative NBN project comes despite its endorsement by NBN Co, the company charged with rollout of the high speed fibre broadband network, headed by former Alcatel Lucent boss Mike Quigley.

    There has long been fears surrounding the integrity of the giant which was founded by ex People Liberation Army engineer, Ren Zhengfei, in 1987 and is suspected to have shady links with the Chinese government, although this has never been proven.

    Huawei’s telecommunications equipment has also been suspected of being designed to allow unauthorized access by Zhengfei former employer the People’s Liberation Army and the Chinese government.

    The Chinese giant is one of Singapore-owned Optus’ main network partners and is currently helping build its 4G rollout, which was announced last week and due to go live next month, and also previously partnered on its 3G network. 

    Last August, Huawei appointed ex-British Government Chief Information Officer John Suffolk to head up cyber security across its international operation.

    However, this appears not to be enough to win over Julia Gillard’s government or the US government, who has also banned Huawei from involvement in development of its wireless nework due to similar national security concerns.

    “The National Broadband Network is the largest nation-building project in Australian history, and it will become the backbone of Australia’s information infrastructure,” a spokesman for the Attorney-General told AFR.

    “As such, and as a strategic and significant government investment, we have a responsibility to do our utmost to protect its integrity and that of the information carried on it.”

    Huawei’s Head of Public Affairs, Jeremy Mitchell, said the company was “disappointed” with the Federal government’s decision, but added:

    “We’re obviously disappointed but through looking at what we’ve done overseas, looking at what we’ve done in the United Kingdom, [hope] that we can put in place measures that help the Australian Government consider us as a partner in the NBN.”

    “We do believe we can play a role in the Australian NBN.”

    “Huawei’s track record speaks for itself,” a spokesperson also told SmartHouse yesterday.

    Huawei is building 8 of the 9 global NBN-style networks including UK, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and partners with every major operator in Australia and 45 of the world’s top 50 and “is on-track to become the world’s largest telecoms equipment vendor, this year,” the spokesperson added.

    “Individuals and governments around the world are still coming to grips with the emergence of the new China which is an innovation leader.

    “As China’s largest private company, Huawei is at the forefront of that. While network security is an issue… the real risk is missing out on the innovation China has to offer,” he warned.

    But it seems despite the snub, Huawei isn’t going anywhere and is “not reliant” on the NBN, the spokesperson insisted:

    “Huawei’s business in Australia is not reliant on the NBN. We are already working with all of Australia’s major operators and  invested in its Australian business for the long-term.”

     

    This blanket ban of Huawei from lucrative NBN contracts is despite prominent figures on its board of directors, including former Victoria premier John Brumby – who sits on the company board as an Independent Director, as does former foreign minister Alexander Downer, seen as an attempt to give the Chinese telco some lobbying power and credibility inside Canberra.

    Downer defended Huawei yesterday, branding cyber security fears as “absurd” and insisted it was legit, with presence in over 100 countries. It also has an innovation centre here in Oz.”This is a very straightforward, albeit very large, company doing an astonishingly good job in terms of providing telecommunications to a world hungry for improved telecommunications,” he told ABC.

    But it appears it is not just Downer and Brumby whom Huawei are looking to win over. A federal register shows the giant has courted senior Labor politicans and even gave one a branded tablet.

    The Chinese company recently paid for three Liberal politicians to be flown to China including deputy leader Julie Bishop, finance spokesman Andrew Robb and Shadow Minister of State Bronwyn Bishop over the past eight months.

    Julie Bishop’s trip included a flight from Perth to Hong Kong, as well as internal flights from Huawei’s HQ in Shenzhen to capital city Shanghai and a trip from there to Beijing. 

    The generous telco even shouted Bishop her accommodation from January 4 to 9 last, reports ABC.

    Mr Robb and Bronwyn Bishop were also treated to business class trips as well as accomodation on separate Chinese excursions.

    Huawei denied any special treatment was afforded the Libs inisting no particular political party were targeted as part of a PR offensive. However, it seem Labor ministers refused Huawei’s generosity, ABC News reported yeterday although former Labor NSW Premier Kristina Keneally was also treated to a Chinese trip by Huawei.

    The No. 2 telcoms supplier globally is also said to be sponsoring Canberra Raiders in a bid to boost its reputation among Australia political elite.

     

    A NBN Co spokesperson refused to comment when contacted by SmartHouse, saying: 

    “We don’t discuss the detail of tenders, so I am unable to comment further.”

    Is HTC ‘The One’?

    Techies give a thumbs up for HTC’s latest bid to stay in the smartphone game. 

    Is this The One? Image credit: Wired

    The HTC One is “undoubtedly a striking” device, declared Julian Jest, Analyst at Informa Telecoms & Media.

    Announced in London and New York overnight, the 4G HTC smartie boasts a 4.7″ Full HD (1080p) screen, 1.7 Ghz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, runs Android Jelly Bean for “blazingly-fast browsing” and spits out a massive 468 pixels-per-inch (PPI).

    Jest also commends HTC on “an industrial design rivalling any handset previously released” by HTC or high-end smartphones on the market.

    The One will debut in Oz tomorrow night.

    The device is highly distinguishable from the “Android mass” in terms of usability and elegance of design and will help “HTC to differentiate its brand from the typical Android identity,” he believes.

     Mashable’s Pete Cashmore agrees.

    “The HTC One might be the most consumer-conscious smartphone ever made.

    “HTC says it built the One to address the way people actually use their phones today, as opposed to building high-tech features for their own sake (hello, Samsung Share Shot).

    “And with a metal design that feels high-end, it’s also a phone consumers will actually want to hold in their hands.”

    Wired.com said: “the One is a top-notch, beautifully designed handset packed with the best specs and a ton of compelling features. It also runs a unique, fresh take on Google’s Android operating system.”

    “Impressive design, superb look & feel. Now down to getting it in shops in March,” tweeted Ben Wood, Mobile Wireless Analyst for CCS Insight, following the unveiling of One in London.

    HTC Sense TV, UltraPixel Camera (300 % more light than traditional smartphone camera sensors) and Blink Feed are just some of the new features found in One.

    But its 4.3 Mp camera may still be a drawback for some, in a world where smartphone cameras are 8-13MP normally. 

    “Blink Feed” home screen is similar to live tiles perused by Windows Phone 8 devices and is  “particularly unique” says Jest, and “should prove popular with consumers” as it  dynamically provides a view of all relevant information.

    However, such functionality could shorten the battery life “quite significantly.” 

     

    The analyst says HTC pounced “an ideal time – iPhone sales are slowing down and advanced users are now desperately looking for more innovative devices” to satisfy their appetite for newer and faster technology.

    HTC is currently the No. 2 Android smartphone maker in Australia behind Samsung and ahead of LG and Sony.

    However, HTC has to get the pricing right with the One, the Informa Telecoms analyst warns.

    But if HTC get it right, it “may just give it the head start it needs to grow its market share ” ahead of Samsung.

    But you only know something is The One when you can feel it.

    Aussies can cop a feel at Optus, Telstra and Vodafone stores from March.
