			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well the iPhone was released in Australia last week. A lot of people I know are gripped with&#8230; <I>iPhone fever?</I> <A HREF="http://www.halfscottishguy.com">Rob</A> and <A HREF="http://www.killertoothbrush.com">Leuke</A>, especially, are very determined to get their hands on the little electronic wonders.</p>
<p><A HREF="http://www.geekculture.com/joyoftech/joyarchives/1125.html">The Joy Of Tech</A> poses an interesting dilemma: <B>Would you rather be a millionaire <I>OR</I> own an iPhone?</B> </p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t one of those &#8220;deserted island and your three favourite CDs&#8221; type scenarios, either. <A HREF="http://www.geekculture.com/joyoftech/joyarchives/1125.html">They&#8217;ve crunched the numbers.</A> An important lesson on delayed gratification and the power of compounding interest, <I>perhaps</I>. Though I&#8217;m not telling anyone <I>NOT</I> to buy an iPhone. That would be madness. The two aforementioned 17 year olds would totally beat me up! lol</p>
<p>There has been much comparing and contrasting between iPhone plans here in Australia. <A HREF="http://www.paulhagon.com/blog/2008/07/10/australian-iphone-data-plans/">Paul Hagon</A> offers an interesting comparsion. I am kind of grateful that I&#8217;m not in the market for one, since the finer points of the plans themselves strike me as being incredibly confusing. (Though most people I&#8217;ve spoken to take a dim view of Telstra&#8217;s offering.) </p>
<p><A HREF="http://www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/2008/07/11/how_to_get_free_iphone_data_on_a_vodafone_plan.html">The Australian Edition of Lifehacker</A> reports: </p>
<blockquote><p>Futurist Mark Pesce, an existing Vodafone customer, realised that his <B>current cap plan could be spent on data as well as voice and text</B>. While this isn&#8217;t mentioned anywhere in Vodafone&#8217;s explanations of its iPhone plans on its site, Pesce asked for the full printed terms and conditions in store, and it turns out that this also applies to the iPhone: you can spend your cap on data for 12 cents a megabyte (with a 50 cent minimum each time).</p></blockquote>
<p>Finally, and also from the Australian Edition of Lifehacker, you will find some information about <A HREF="http://www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/2008/07/11/whats_good_and_free_in_the_itunes_app_store-2.html">What&#8217;s Good and Free In The iTunes App Store</A>.</p>
<p>I am particularly excited to see <A HREF="http://www.evernote.com/">Evernote</A> offered in iPhone application form. I recently received an invite to the beta version of the service and have to say I was genuinely surprised at how successful it is at copying and organising information. Expect a more elaborate review at <A HREF="http://www.getawebstart.com">Get A Web Start</A> soon.</p>
<p>It almost makes you want to run out and buy one, doesn&#8217;t it? </p>
