The world of mobile phones is getting busy again as a whole new range of smartphones appear. Paul Wallbank joined Rod Quinn for ABC Nightlife on October 20 to discuss what the new smartphone wars mean for home and business users.

We’ll be going to air from 10pm, Eastern Australian time across Australia on ABC Local Radio’s Nightlife to look at the following questions;

  • Why were people disappointed with Apple’s iPhone 4S that was released a few weeks ago?
  • The big competition are the Google Android phones, what are they doing?
  • What’s happened to Nokia? They seemed to have lost their domination.
  • Microsoft were the other big player, what are they doing?
  • How are the smartphones changing business?
  • Shopping centres seem to be jumping on board with various social media checkins. What are those?
  • There’s been a push to online payments, how are the smartphones affecting this?
  • Are smartphones going to be the big buy for Christmas?
  • What are the best plans for consumers and business?
  • How do people deal with telco disputes?

The podcast from the program is available from at Nightlife website, and some of the information we mentioned can be found here;
