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.

      It's been a long time coming but finally Nokia has a sexy touchscreen phone. Although, does it have what it takes to make us look away from the ever-alluring iPhone?

      An elegant smartphone that both excites and disappoints at the same time.

      The HP iPAQ 912c defines the middle of the road. When you consider its performance versus the price, the 912c is passable but painfully average.

      Most of our complaints about the W980 are purely cosmetic. Looks aside, this latest Walkman works well as both a phone and a dedicated music player, with a substantial 8GB of storage being the icing on the cake.

      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.
