iTWire - Firefox 3.0 beta 3 released with 1300 changes!

Mozilla has released beta 3 of Firefox 3.0, with around 1300 ‘individual changes’ from beta 2, with fixes for stability, performance, memory usage, platform enhancements and user interface improvements.

Firefox 3.0 beta 3 is here, with plenty of improvements set to send Firefox’s percentage of market share soaring ever higher once the final version is released to the public.

Mozilla says that there are around 1300 individual changes from the previous beta, “including fixes for stability, performance, memory usage, platform enhancements and user interface improvements”.

While downloadable by anyone, Mozilla cautions that “beta releases are geared toward Web developers and Mozilla's testing community in order to gain feedback before advancing to the next stage in the release process”.

That said, Mozilla heartily encourages ‘testers’ to download and install the Beta 3 release to test it against the websites they normally visit, and provide feedback about any incompatibilities, either through the Mozilla feedback form or through the Bugzilla form.

Having had a quick look at the latest version, the interface certainly looks snazzier, performance seems to be faster and all-in-all, Firefox 3.0 is shaping up to really give Internet Explorer 7 and even bigger run for its money than it has already given, while Microsoft continues dithering around with Internet Explorer 8.

 iTWire - Telstra promises 42Mbps by 2009 as 3G revenues outstrip 2G

Telstra will upgrade its Next G network to deliver downstream data at 21Mbps by the end of 2008 and 42Mbps in 2009, and says that, in the December quarter revenues from its 3G network surpassed those from 2G.

The announcements was made by Telstra CEO, Sol Trujillo at the GSM World Congress in Barcelona. Trujillo said "We have an evolution roadmap with Ericsson which will deliver customers speeds of 21 Mbps in 2008 across our national NextG network - a world first - and 42 Mbps in 2009 using HSPA+ technology."

Telstra's network already supports HSDPA with downstream speeds of 14.4Mbps, but there are no devices presently available to fully exploit this. The Sierra wireless ExpressCard and USB modems will manage 7.2Mbps and the Samsung SGH-A811, launched late last year, was the first in the world to support 7.2Mbps HSPDA. Telstra says there are now around 40 devices available, handsets and modems that will support this speed.

The 38 percent of customers on 3G at the end of January 2008 represented 11 percentage points growth in four months and Telstra expects it to hit between 60 and 70 percent by 2010. At present, 38 percent of subscribers are on 3G.
