There’s no denying that the Apple iPhone has dominated the mobile telephone market in recent times and tech heads seem to have created apps for pretty much every purpose imaginable. Now an app has been released suitable for Australian real estate agents to perform quick calculations. Agent Calculator has been developed by Tasmanian real estate [...]
ANZ Fires Back
A Truly Open NBN a must for future of Australian Technology Sector
The year is 2015 and local Melbourne Sweeney real estate agent Melissa Hansson has just stepped into her 2014 Honda Civic. Moments earlier Melissa sat at her networked computer and downloaded the latest Green Day Spill Baby album, then clicked a button in her iTunes software to push the latest music playlist to her iTelevision, [...]
The iPad Has Landed
So, the iPad has finally landed! And to refer back to the title of my post back in April, has it come crashing down to Earth like a huge white elephant, or elegantly applauded in as yet another Apple master stroke? Before I answer that I’ll come clean and admit that I got one on [...]
Trend for 2010: “It’s Mobile, stoopid”
Remember the iconic 1980s movie ‘Wall Street’ in which Michael Douglas walks along a beach watching the sun rise while talking into his mobile phone? The thing was about as big as his head (which was big), yet was the symbol of power, wealth, technology and cool. Looking back at it now, the device forces a [...]
Review: Android Powered HTC Magic Smart Phone

Domain continues innovation through iPhone application
On the back of Domain recently announcing a partnership with 1Form, today they launched a very nifty iPhone application.

Real estate on mobile phones? Layar becomes a playa!
I have seen so many mobile applications in the past few years come across my desk, all accompanied by grandiose claims on how it will revolutionise the way we search for property. However, maybe, just maybe, someone might be into something here. It is called Layar and it has been developed by an innovative team [...]
Fairfax wrapped over knuckles by ACCC
Fairfax Digital have been wrapped over the knuckles by the ACCC and have agreed not to advertise as ‘FREE’ a new mobile search service launched by Domain.com.au. Using the advertised service users of the site could view properties from domain.com.au on their mobile phone (http://m.domain.com.au)and receive ‘free’ SMS alerts. Only one problem, SMS alerts actually [...]
New iPhone will be powerful and fun real estate platform–see the video now
I’ve written about the iPhone on this blog before, but the thing just keeps getting better. The new model released this week–a faster 3G model at about half the price of the original model–makes me even more clear that this device will transform real estate. What has to happen for the iPhone to bring workable [...]
Real estate technology linkage
Here is a handful of recent stories I thought you’d find of interest: Real estate is spelled S-E-X in China. Vodafone to sell the iPhone in Australia. But, Vodafone might not be the only one (and here). Suncorp and LJ Hooker launch real estate podcasts. How to cope when Google dumps you. First banks in [...]
The printed newspaper, a thing of the past?
Newspapers seem to be taking hit after hit at the moment as “New Media” is constantly creeping into its traditional core market. A new eBook reader called Kindle has just been released by Amazon in the US which points to the fact that the traditional newspaper’s days are numbered along with the books and magazines. [...]
