]]>The S1 Ultra builds on the success of the S1 Pro, the world’s first ductless air conditioner, which raised around US$1 million (A$1.45 million) on Kickstarter and drew major attention at last year’s IFA.
The new model expands on the concept with five-in-one functionality: cooling, heating, humidifying, airflow, and ductless operation.
Drawing inspiration from aircraft engines and featuring subtle wood design accents, the S1 Ultra (pictured below) aims to bring both performance and style into modern homes.

Other launches include an upgraded Fusion Kettle and Toaster Set, now with an ergonomic handle and minimalist wood-inspired finishes, alongside new concepts such as the Infusechill Flavoured Ice system, the MixChill 3-in-1 Ice Maker, and a fully automatic espresso machine.
IFA Berlin has become a key platform for Morphy Richards to strengthen its global reach. The company, which was founded in 1936 and now operates in 26 countries, has recently gained international visibility, including exposure during the Paris Olympics.
Looking ahead, Morphy Richards says it is prioritising sustainable manufacturing, strategic partnerships, and broadening its appliance range to make advanced home tech more widely accessible.
Visitors to IFA (September 5–9) can experience live demonstrations at Hall 7.1C, Booth 105.

]]>Australians are about to get a major internet speed upgrade, but outdated home hardware could leave many households paying for speeds they’ll never see.
From September 14, government-owned NBN Co will ramp up its broadband plans, with 100Mbps tiers jumping to 500Mbps and new “mass market multi-gig” options promising up to 2000Mbps.
NBN chief executive Ellie Sweeney said the initiative, called ‘Accelerate Great’, could help unlock a $400bn economic boost by 2030.
But she warned that the long-in-the-tooth, if still functional, equipment many Australians continue to use was the biggest challenge to delivering on that promise.
“Across the board, we have customers who may not have changed out a modem for 10 years,” she noted.
A Wi-Fi 4 router bought in 2013, for example, maxes out at 100Mbps, far below the new wholesale speeds.
If you’ve got a dodgy connection, the NBN probably isn’t to blame
Even top-end Wi-Fi 7 modems can struggle with signal loss across large or multi-storey homes, raising the prospect that 8K TVs may still pixelate despite higher-cost, premium NBN plans.
“The risk is people are going to be paying for these high speeds, but they’re not going to experience it because their hardware is out of date,” Andrew O’Connor, TPG’s general manager of fixed line, told The Australian.
Research conducted by TPG highlights the problem facing telcos selling high-speed internet.
More than 80 per cent of consumers think telcos are responsible for Wi-Fi strength, with just 13 per cent recognising they need the gear that can handle a high-speed connection.
That disconnect has driven complaints and confusion, which telcos are now seeking to respond to.
For instance, Vodafone is bundling Wi-Fi 7 modems and mesh units with new NBN and 5G plans.
Likewise, Telstra is advising customers to check their hardware and offering free fibre upgrades on eligible services.

]]>COMPUTEX organisers Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and Taipei Computer Association (TCA) cited the ongoing COVID-19 crisis as the cause for the cancellation.
Previously, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, organisers had pushed COMPUTEX back to 28th-30th September 2020, from early June 2020. The next COMPUTEX fair is now scheduled to take place on 1st-5th June 2021 in Taipei.
Last year COMPUTEX hosted 1,685 exhibitors and attracted 42,495 attendees from 171 countries.
In the meantime, TAITRA has launched a series of online events, including #COMPUTEX Online Talks, where key executives from Intel, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Supermicro, Deltra Electronics and more shared tech trends on AI and 5G (the livestream was watched by more than 400,000).

]]>SAN FRANCISCO – Following Facebook’s adoption of a permanent remote workforce, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has pulled up the anchor to set sail from Silicon Valley, following three months of lockdown to combat the coronavirus.
But he also dashed a Silicon Valley dream: that tech workers would be able to take their generous salaries with them and fulfil fantasies of working long-term from tropical beaches while sipping pina coladas.
Alas, that’s not to be, it seems. Zuckerberg, a bit of a killjoy, addressed employees in a publicly broadcast livestream on his Facebook page and said that salaries would be based on an arbitrage of where workers live.
The company, one of Silicon Valley’s biggest employers, is giving US workers who are approved to work remotely until January 1, 2021 to let the company know where they plan to base themselves. Zuckerberg said he expects half of Facebook’s workforce to take him up on the offer over the next five to 10 years.
Even as many tech workers dream of a future in low-tax states, others fear that the shift to remote work could push wages lower and warn that being far from headquarters could steepen the climb up the corporate ladder.

]]>On a 24 month contract the show piece device is only going to cost $112 per month for a $2,600 smartphone.
So why should you consider buying a flip phone.
The Wall Street Journal wrote recently?
In case you hadn’t noticed, our phone screens have gotten unmanageably huge. And smartphone sales have slowed, as we see less incentive in upgrading from one black rectangle to another.
Meanwhile, flexible and foldable screens are rapidly evolving and dropping in price. What better way to get us to buy a new thing than sell us a new thing that actually looks like a new thing?
The new reimagined Motorola Razr can now be seen in-store across ten Telstra retail outlets in Australia.
Danny Adamopoulos, General Manager of Sales, APAC for Mature Markets, Motorola said “The Telstra partnership adds to the device’s availability from JB Hi-Fi and the Motorola online store.
said the partnership with Telstra will provide even more options for those consumers looking to purchase the Razr.
“I’m delighted we are able to partner with Telstra to bring this revolutionary smartphone to their customers. The original RAZR was a fashion icon that defined a generation and became an integral part of pop culture. With its clamshell-style flexible display, the reimagined Razr offers consumers the upgraded smartphone experience they are after, with some iconic elements they know and love.”
The Motorola Razr features Motorola’s architected, industry-first, patent-protected zero-gap hinge that allows both sides of the customised polymer flexible display system to remain perfectly flush when closed and protects the display from debris and dust as well as re-engineered antennas to fit in a space twice as small as today’s smartphones, with water resistance and splash-proof protection.
