News round-up: 30th June 2009
Vodaphone buying T-Mobile is the big telecoms rumour in the UK at the moment. Personally I cannot see how it could possibly go through because Voda and O2 are working together on one network and T-Mobile and 3 on another. It would effectively put Vodafone in a dominant position and involved in 4 seperate networks.
A new video has been posted at Nokia Conversations showing a range of Nokias from days past. It is likely that you have owned at least one of these phones in the past, I certainly have.
The final version of Skype 3.0 is now available for Windows Mobile devices. File transfer and text messaging are included in this version. v1.1 has also been released for the iPhone which adds the same features.
The Dev Team is keeping the iPhone 3GS jailbreak on ice, supposedly to stop Apple being able to patch it quickly. It is expected after the iPhone 3.0.1 update.
Seidio has released an extended battery for the Palm Pre which sounds as though it is badly needed. It is rated at 1350mAh and is the same size as the default one.
That’s it for the moment. News feels a bit quiet after all of the fuss over so many new devices recently, but there is still lots around that we can cover and discuss.



















I don’t know if you are aware, but here in Australia, Vodafone and 3 merged, although at the moment they are retaining their own brands. So in a degree, the boundary you mention has been crossed. I have no idea how the Australian Vodafone operations effect Vodafone elsewhere, but it pose interesting thoughts about how murky business relationships could get.
