Telstra home bundles

Be aware of the latest Telstra Home Bundles. Just found that your better off negotiating each service separately and getting them linked onto the one bill. Getting a similar service as I have today using the Home Bundles would have cost $50 extra per month.

If you do however like Bigpond they are offering 25GB for $49.95 per month which is a $30 saving per month. http://www.bigpond.com/internet/plans/cable/latest-offer/  need to sign up for 24 months but.

Here be some iPhone apps you should try.

“hoccer” allows you to select images, text or contacts and exchange them with other iPhone users by simulating a throwing action. Other iPhone users can hold their phone up catching the data.

“bump” also provides ad hoc data exchange but instead of throwing the data you hold the phone in your hand and you bump your hand against someone else who is holding an iPhone.

Very kewl.
