If you’re in the market for a new TV – Perhaps check out this story from A Current Affair last night

Let me know what you think in the comments below…
FOXTEL have a fantastic iPhone application which allows you to search the program guide, browse channels, set reminders and – if you are a foxtel user – even set programs to record remotely even when you are no-where near your Foxtel box!
It’s such a handy thing if you have Foxtel IQ and suddenly remember that show you wanted to watch but forgot to record! With the iPhone app you can ‘hit record’ no matter where you are.
At the same time, Foxtel have a fantastic website version of their Guide, which also – if logged in – allowed you to record programs from any internet connected PC.
Today, FOXTEL announced an extension of that app/site… read on for more information
Apple today opened its latest Retail store – this time in the North West of Sydney at Castle Hill’s popular Castle Towers shopping centre.
I headed along to the launch, and have posted some some thoughts a video and photos below – click Continue Reading for more..
The Seven Network today announced they will launch a ‘third’ channel on Digital TV in late September – Named ’7mate’
According to the press release, republished at Mumbrella, the channel will commence with a broadcast of the AFL Grand Final in HD.
There’s a stack of content on offer – like “New episodes of FAMILY GUY, AMERICAN DAD, PARKS AND RECREATION and LAST COMIC STANDING will lead the primetime comedy schedule. 3O ROCK, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, THAT 70’S SHOW, SCRUBS and CRANK YANKERS round out the laughs.” – however, what I find interesting is the decision once again to remove HD from the ‘main’ channel – just like the ABC has done
More programming details are below. … Continue Reading
Leaving aside the standard technology which we often take for granted (TV Cameras, Broadcast Satellite, Radio ISDN technology), this could be a great year for watching the Election – as boring as it might be given the nothingness of the campaign, we are in for a real treat when it comes to the coverage.
At the recent General Elections in the UK, the BBC among others went absolutely tech mad – it was fantastic. I can recall the use of Holograms by CNN or the BBC (I can’t remember) during the US Elections, but for the BBC in the UK election the key tech was the touch screen interface to a big screen TV, and also a ‘white room’ which was totally interactive.
One of the key features of the iPhone 4 that sets it aside from the previous iPhone 3G and 3GS is the iMovie application. Available for $5.99 in the App store, iMovie is the portable version of Apple’s successful Movie editing software for Mac.
With 720p video recording on the iPhone 4, what better way to make use of the videos than to edit them up and share them.
How often have you shot video and never used it.
Tonight, on my way home, I was frustrated by Traffic. I got someone to hold the phone and shoot some basic footage.

Over the weekend, I had two iPhone 4 devices to play with. One with a Telstra SIM, one with an Optus SIM (MicroSIM to be precise)
As you may know, I haven’t yet decided which carrier to choose – should I decide to get an iPhone 4.
How did they perform? … Continue Reading
I don’t think it’s as big as buying a house, however choosing an iPhone plan is a big financial decision. You see you are locked in for at least a year, if not two years in most cases.
What if the carrier you choose has a bad network in your area, but you don’t know that because you don’t use them now!
How much data will you use?

These are all difficult questions, continue reading for my personal thoughts on the plans all released today.
At $99 this is more than just a mouse replacement. If you enjoy using a Laptop trackpad, and haven’t yet tried a touchpad like the Wacom Bamboo, perhaps this is worth a shot.
Apple’s ‘Magic Trackpad’ won’t produce a rabbit from a hat, but it will make your on screen experience at a desktop similar to that on your Laptop.
Multitouch scroll, zoom and Swipe makes this a great companion product for your iMac. … Continue Reading
