Thanks to OPTUS in australia, you can browse MySpace on your mobile for free until October 31st. The only down side to this is the GPRS charges. I signed up to the trial and decided to browse a bit. I found out that even though Optus is letting you use this for free, you still have to pay GPRS charges, I found that out when I got this message: “You do not have enough credit to access this resource”. So I suppose this is a great service, but only use it if you have a lot of credit. To sign up click here. You must be an Optus customer to use this service. Standard GPRS charges apply. Free trial ends 31st October 2007.

My team and I have just made this out of Optus Support. This is a recorded call to Optus but we took out that annoying bot.

… but not on iTunes. Yes, AC/DC will not be selling their music on iTunes. However, Verizon Wireless has snapped the exclusive rights to it.

The deal is, however, limited to full album purchases. An exception is the group’s biggest hit You Shook Me All Night Long which will be available by itself.

Downloads will be only made if it is bought off the Verizon VCast Music service for the PC, with $12 ($14 in Australia) to download the albums.

AC/DC is at work for it’s new album, expected to be released in 2008; with a new tour to follow.

Hey, it’s been a while since we updated you on Kubix.

A new Theme has been posted onto the Kubix’s forums. Though it’s not complete, it looks pretty good! You can suggest new things to be added as well.

Raw Capital Partners has been fined AU$33,000 by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) for not declaring the loss of a key contract to the stock market.

The key contract, with Optus, had provided 2/3 of revenue for Raw Capital Partners for the 2005 and 2006 financial period. It was signed in 2001, allowing Raw Capital to provide the telco with network, server, desktop and application support services.

According to ASIC, executives were made aware of the contract not being renewed on October 31, but didn’t inform the stock market until the 21st November.

The contract between Optus expires in Late February.

Hey,

We have changed the theme into a more darker look to show how much we love technology (if that makes any sense at all). This new theme is on HemingwayEX by Null.in, but we are going to customize it for the reawaken networks. We want your feedback, as we are going to add this to all of our blogs on our network.

This brand new design also allows us to add more widgets, so get ready for an entire revamp.

iTunes has finally cracked the 3 billion mark since it’s launch April 2003, though it’s 1 billion songs was reached in February 2006.

In the first quarter of this year, it was ranked the third-biggest overall music retailer in the US, behind No. 1 Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Best Buy, according to consumer surveys by The NPD Group. However, this was based on units sold, not revenue, and counted every 12 tracks purchased online, as it is an equivalent to an album.

In April, it had sold more than 100 million iPods five and a half years since it was first sold.

Shares of Apple fell $US9.71 ($11.34), or 6.9 per cent, to $US131.72 Tuesday.
