My new iPhone 3Gs 16GB is ordered and en route from Vodafone Australia.

My preference is towards the $69 plan (with 1GB data) from Vodafone over the Virgin $70 equivalent plan.

Vodafone is also the first Australian telecom provider to offer visual voicemail and is currently performing a $500M major national network upgrade to regional areas of Australia.

Virgin mobile operates on the Optus network which suffered major network outages on the east coast of Australia for several consecutive hours during August of last year.

Microsoft (and hence, me) seem to be pushing out a swarm of product ads recently.
Here is one about Internet Explorer 8 for the pot..

Stick around for the first 50 seconds of this ad. It’s quite a novel concept for an ad.

Any advertisement that features the better part of Joker & The Thief by Wolfmother will steal my attention!

Project Natal, the new project from Microsoft looks to wow the masses with it’s new controller-less interactive gaming/entertainment system.

I saw one of these product vision videos earlier in the year that also had some promising ideas.
