If there aren’t already enough iPhone posts running around the blogosphere already, I thought I’d add my own.

Hooray! Australia gets the new 3G iPhone!

Bummer… only Optus and Vodaphone announced they’d carry it. Which is no good for those of us not living in a capital city – as Telstra is the only carrier that really offers decent coverage. Sure, the others are represented, but their coverage just isn’t the same as Telstra’s.

So any chance I had of possibly getting an iPhone hinged upon an announcement from Telstra.

And today I discover some good news!

Of course, we don’t know pricing yet, but the normal thing to happen in Australia is for carriers to subsidise the initial cost of the phone in exchange for a contract (typically 24 months).

So as long as the plan isn’t ridiculously expensive, roll on Jull 11! Fingers crossed!

I had a bit of a rant recently about the software that comes with some new USB Charger packs.

Well, not I feel like a bit of a goose… It actually installs as a Dashboard Widget! Found it totally by accident… but there it is!

Ah well…

Purchased a nifty little USB charger yesterday that charges a couple of batteries – you guessed it – straight from the computer’s USB port.

Cool!

It even has software you can download so you can keep an eye on the charge level on screen.

Cooler!

Except do you think it will install for me?

I download the Mac – Intel version, expanded the folder, and ran the install program. At the end it wanted to restart the Macbook (that sounds a lot like something that Windows wants to do) so I did. But alas, there’s nothing there!

Nothing in Applications. Nothing in Spotlight (apart from what I downloaded). Nothing in Quicksilver. Nada. Zip. Zero.

I thought that maybe plugging the unit it will launch something? Nope.

So I installed something, but I dunno where it is, or how to open it. Hmmm.

Anyone managed to successfully install this software? Does it work?
