    Electronic Arts' casual destination portal Pogo has launched a free iPhone/iPod touch app, which includes five of the service's most popular programs. The freemium app comes with Poppit!, Word Whomp, Turbo 21, Mahjong Safari and Sweet Tooth 2. Each game also comes with, at no cost to you, the "taking hours of your life you'll never get back" feature. You don't even need to activate it on an options menu. It's always on. For those looking for an ad-free Pogo experience, the app can be upgraded for $2.99. Club Pogo members receive ad-free play with their $30 annual membership.

  • Telstra's Turbo 21 HSPA modem reviewed: not 21Mbps but still the world's fastest

    Telstra loves to brag about being the "world's fastest national mobile broadband network." And they should after a recent 21Mbps (theoretical) upgrade to its Next G network in Australia's major cities. Of course real-world performance won't come close to that but the PC-only, Telstra Turbo 21 USB modem likely smokes any over the air setup you've been using. ZDNET tested the Turbo 21 in Sydney and found performance landing on "the right side of excellent." Performance peaked at about 6Mbps but this was variable at best. Still it was the fastest modem that ZDNET's seen in their testing. Yours, or more likely your company's, for AU$499 or AU$299 when bundled with a data pack.
