Kogan's Google Phone on hold....

I'm pretty disappointed with this as was looking forward to it. Apparently, the Agora phone has been put on hold citing "future operational issues". Basically what that means is that it may not be able to handle new Android features which may use higher screen resolution and a larger screen. (I thought that the phone should have been designed as a full screen device anyway). Its also obviously disappointing for Kogan in that phones were in production and days away from the January 29 launch date.

Kogan has said in its website that customers who have paid their deposit will recieve a full refund.

It will be interesting to see what eventuates in the future regarding the re-design and pricing of the new Agora.

The Sydney Morning Herald has an interesting article on this as well

Telstra looking at HTC Android Phone?

HTC, the company that made the G1 phone for T-Mobile, reportedly is working on a new Android-based touch-screen phone for Telstra.

The gadget-focused Smarthouse wrote on Monday it heard that word from a senior Telstra executive at the just-ended Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas:

The new touch phone has been developed using a combination of the Google Android operating system and Linux based software written by HTC. The screen is believed to be bigger than current offerings from HTC.

Apparently, Telstra--and other Australian phone companies--aren't showing much interest in what's likely to be the country's first Android phone, the Kogan Agora. The Agora is scheduled to ship to buyers on January 29. Im still trying to get my hands on a pre-release version but without much luck so far.

Telstra seems inclined to hedge its bets on Android gadgets. In November, Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo--in the company of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer--was somewhat dismissive of Google's phone technology: "My view is, (Android is) interesting, not compelling," Trujillo said. He also wondered aloud whether Google could follow through. "First generation, you make the sale. The question is when you get into the second, third, and fourth generation(s)," he said at the time.

GPS lets parents track children

Children may not like it but a British technology firm has invented an electronic babysitter - a wristwatch-like device that lets parents know where their children are at all times.

The GPS Child Locator, or num8, attaches securely to a child's wrist and contains a Global Positioning System (GPS), said Matthew Salmon, a spokesman for the manufacturer, lok8u.

"It uses GPS and GSM (Global System for Mobiles) technology with an accuracy of 10 feet (three meters)," he said. "It tracks your child."

"It only starts working when the device is connected to the child's wrist," Salmon said, and is "very difficult to get off."

"Even if the child managed to get it off it would send an emergency text message through to your mobile phone," he said. "It would give you a Google Maps image with their exact location, the street name and the zip code."

When a child is wearing the device, a parent sends the text message "wru" and the child's current location is sent back to a mobile phone or computer.

Parents can also log on to the company website to discover their child's present location.

"You can also set up a perimeter, an invisible fence, and if they wander out of this invisible fence which you put on the Internet it will warn you," Salmon said. "It will text you immediately."

Salmon said the device is waterproof and shockproof and lasts for three days with a full charge.

It will be available in both Britain and the United States this year and retails for $200 with a $10 dollar a month subscription fee.

He said the company had received thousands of inquiries about the device since launching it this week.

"Fifty percent are positive, 50 percent are negative, that it's a bit Big Brotherish," he said. "But it's really just about letting you have freedom of mind."

Palm scoops CES best in show.

The new smartphone from Palm and a pocket notebook computer from Sony won coveted awards as top products in their categories at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) here Saturday.

The Palm Pre was recognized not only as the best product in the cellphone and smartphone category, but was also named "Best in Show" and received the most votes in a "people's choice" Internet poll.

"Palm is on the comeback trail, it would seem," said Brian Cooley, an editor-at-large at Internet news agency Cnet, which jointly handed out the awards with the Consumer Electronics Association, host of the CES.

"A triple header for Palm, that is pretty impressive," Cooley said.

Palm was once a pioneer in handheld devices but it has been suffering hard times lately.

The touch-screen Pre unveiled on Thursday features a new operating system and notably allows users to move seamlessly from one application to another, as with a desktop computer, and run multiple applications at the same time.

In the Computer and Hardware category, the award went to the Sony Vaio P Series Lifestyle PC.

Cooley said the notebook computer, which is about the size of a business envelope and can fit into a suit jacket, offers "a completely different form factor and all kinds of connectivity."

Sony also took the honors in the Digital Photo and Video category for its Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-G3 camera, which features Wi-Fi capability, 10 megapixels, a 4X zoom and 4GB of storage.

Samsung also walked away with two awards; in the Home Audio category for its HT-BD7200 speakers, and in the MP3 and Video Players category for its P3 touch-screen MP3 player.

The Panasonic G10 series, which features Amazon video-on-demand and uses half the power of other televisions its size, picked up the award in the television category.

The Nyko Wand took the honors in the Gaming Category and "improves so much on the original (Nintendo) Wii remote that it will spawn a host of new ways to innovate on the Wii," Cooley said.

In the Car Technology category, the award went to Gracenote Voxonic CarStars, which features an avatar-based guide to song catalogs.

Portable navigation device manufacturer TomTom picked up the award in the GPS category with its latest GPS offer, the TomTom GO 740 Live.

The Home Video category was won by the EchoStar SlingLoaded HD DVR 922, which features Slingbox technology that allows a user to access their home television from another computer.

The four-day CES, the largest consumer technology trade show in the world, featuring 2,700 exhibitors of high-tech gadgetry from around the globe, ends on Sunday.
