iPhone 4 to hit Aussie shores July 30

The latest product to leave Apple’s headquarters – the iPhone 4 – will hit Australian shores on July 30, and if the reception in the US is anything to go by, it’ll be a big hit. Despite the plague of issues that have surrounded the phone since its launch, apple fanboys and others alike have flocked to the device since its release last month. Apple’s latest phone includes a lot of appealing features, including a super-high resolution display and the video chat software Apple calls Face Time. But only time will tell if the new iPhone lives up to its name over here.

The iPhone 4 will be out July 30 and available on all major networks.

Exploring Tech gets a new site!

So, we’ve migrated the site over to the same server as all of Mulligan Media’s other projects, which doesn’t mean much for you, but it helps us a lot. Along with the change, we have changed the site design to the fantastic ‘Swift’ theme by Satish Gandham, which I think gives the site a much more professional look, and is easier to read than the old blue.

We’ve also added a mobile version of the site, so you can check us out on the go! Simply visit http://exploringtech.com in your mobile phone’s web browser to view the site optimized for mobiles.

Just note that there might be a few bugs across the site in the coming weeks as we reinstate some of the features that we lost in the transfer, and in particular, some old images may be missing.

So, give us your thoughts on the new design, and the site in general!

Chime Brings Twitter SMS to Aussies

NOTE: Twitter and Telstra have partnered and Twitter is now available for those Australians with Telstra. Chime is still a great alternative for those on other networks.

Twitter has always had an sms update feature, for those in the us and uk, at least. But until recently, the only way for us over here in Australia to update twitter is via the international number, wich can be pretty expensive. That’s where chime comes in. Chime is a twitter SMS service for Australians, and it’s free: all you pay for is the cost of sending a local sms. We’ll road test chime after the break, but first… here’s the links:

New Rugged Tablet only $2,299.

This new tablet pc from Motion is one of the coolest pieces of tech yet. Boasting a 64GB SSD, Intel Core 2 Duo, GPS, Biometric Sensor, Webcam, Card reader, Bluetooth, WiFi, and it’s rugged too.


This thing is cool, and not only all that, the LCD is visible in daylight as well. Forget the Netbook, I want one of these.
