techAU now available on iPhone
Posted Thursday, August 7, 2008 at 6:23 pm by Jason CartwrightYou can now access techAU from the iPhone or iPod touch using a specially formatted site.
The new formatting happens automatically just by visiting http://techAU.tv and comes with all the AJAXy goodness you’d expect, as well as access to any additional pages you have on the site, like your about page. There’s also a search option so users can find posts quickly.
Those of you running a WordPress blog can also achieve the same clean, simple formatting of your blog by installing the WPtouch. The current version is 1.2, it’s easy to install and customize.
Thank to Chris from http://techtwistblog.com for pointing me to this one.
Further investment in techAU
Posted Monday, July 28, 2008 at 1:54 pm by Jason CartwrightThis week I’m holidaying in Melbourne, but while I’m here I’ll be picking up a new piece of hardware, a high definition capture card called the Intensity Pro. Created by Black Magic, the card allows for digital capture via HDMI, or analog using component.
After purchasing Camtasia Studio earlier in the year, screen recording of video walk-throughs, reviews, tips is now all possible. Capturing video from sources other than the PC is a little more challenging, made even more difficult when trying to keep the quality all in HD, so inclusion in the HD version of the podcast is possible.
The Intensity Pro will allow for high quality video to be captured from a variety of sources including gaming consoles, video cameras, or pretty much any video source available.
Further investments in the development of techAU is made possible thanks to sponsorship. Thanks to Shoutoo for their continual support of techAU.
So look out for many more reviews in the future.

Story 2 – Australia to get fastest iPhone in the world ?

Story 3 – Internet Convergence
Mobile broadband could potentially become your home internet as well.
One problem would be gaming. The delay in satelitte relay could cause lag in games.
Story 4 – Australia’s nation-wide broadband rollout delayed again, Telstra doubles cost.

Story 5 – techAU ads PS3 coverage
Really early, so I’ll save my thoughts on the PS3 and GT5: Prologue until Episode #32.
Expect more PS3 coverage from techAU
Story 6 – Tivo about to launch in Aus, no subscription
Expect a higher up front cost
Reports that the 30 sec skip button won’t be available, so no skipping through ads, which was one of Tivo’s best features.
