Chew on this iPhone alternative

The Fido-compatible iBone.

This Friday, Apple nuts around Australia will be fronting up to various telco stores at an unholy hour and buying a ticket to iPhone heaven.

Of course, this means that for the rest of the day — and probably the entire weekend, if not the rest of July — family members and pets will be ignored as all attention is devoted to the wondrous Apple accoutrement.

Pooches deprived of pats and walks can console themselves with the iBone, a soft, squeaky toy from the enterprising folk at the Snooty Paws online pet boutique.

Described in a media release as a "dog toy for the gadget loving pooch", the iBone is styled after the feverishly anticipated handset. It joins the previously released iPaw, a chewable version of the ubiquitous music player.

The iBone is available now for AU$23 from the Snooty Paws website.

      Nokia 6210 Navigator

      While the 6210 is solidly built and features fast performance, the lack of a lifetime subscription to turn-by-turn navigation robs the Navigator of what should make it unique in the market.

      There's nothing technically wrong with RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition but if you want to Ferrari-fie your phone there are cheaper and better ways of doing it. For free.

      It's hard to knock a phone that has all the current popular technologies, but it would have still been great for Nokia to consider new technologies for this latest N-Series range, particularly a media sharing networking protocol.

      Take out the Next G reception and you end up with a low quality handset at a mid-range price point. Still, it's great to see another blue tick phone for our friends in the bush to consider.

      Nokia E66

      While we like the E71 better, the E66 is a great smartphone with class leading features. If you want the functionality of a business phone without the bulk of a PDA form factor, the E66 is the phone you've been looking for.
