My girlfriend’s boss went to New Zealand a month back. He thought he’d turned data roaming off, but actually he hadn’t. When he got home he got a bill from Telstra for over $800! That was mostly related to the constant polling and syncing that his iPhone was doing related to Exchange email (he uses Google Apps). Telstra have been nice and have offered to waive some of that, but that’s not the point. The point is, telco international data roaming charges suck!

What my girlfriend’s boss needed is an exciting new iPhone app from a smart bunch of guys in Israel called Onavo. I met up with their CEO last week at the Mobile World Congress, and in a busy networking lounge with no spare seats we pulled up some carpet and he showed me what Onavo does. And I was impressed!

In this case, some of the world’s most well known names e.g. Charlize Theron, Penelope Cruz, George Clooney, Cold Play, Green Day, Slash, Kanye West, Eminem and Katy Perry, have signed and designed iPhone cases where part of the proceeds will go to charitable projects. So far over US$3,000,000 has been raised. The range is called “Whatever It Takes“.

I love my Telstra iPhone 4! From it I am able to keep an eye on my business, blog and stay in touch with all my social media networks including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and FourSquare wherever there is an internet connection. Without it, it would be like having a limb missing.  This is why I have to my iPhone with battery charge at all times.

I’ve been thinking of buying a NAS (Network Attached Storage / Server) device over the last couple of months, but considerations of the time it would take to setup and organize my files has stopped me going any further. The whole idea of storing all my data in one location and being able to share it with multiple devices was the main benefit driver behind the idea.

Our first shipment of Mr.Gadget iPhone 4 Docks have come in and they look marvelous. Sales of our Mr.Gadget iPhone 3G / 3GS Docks hit the roof but we believe that these new cradles will go just as well, even better. I believe it will be a result of the new design – the Mr.Gadget iPhone 4 cradle dock features a blue LED backlit backing which highlights the new refined design of the iPhone 4. This new flat backside also allows you to charge your iPad too!
