iPhone 5, fibre to the conference, and plugging iTunes holes

What does the iPhone 5 announcement mean in Australia? Just what happened at the Microsoft Tech.Ed conference in Queensland this week? And why is Google helping Apple out with security?

On this week's Technolatte podcast, we discuss:

• Apple's big announcement of the iPhone 5, due for launch in Australia next Friday. And this time, it is 4G-compatible

• At Microsoft's Tech.Ed 2012 conference, technology evangelist Rocky Heckman said that US laws on data privacy are better than Australia's

• Google helped Apple plug 163 security vulnerabilities in iTunes.
