techAU

Welcome to the brand new techAU, all grown up with a brand new domain name, we’re very excited about our new destination at the new .com.au domain. You’ll notice that there’s a brand new theme here, we’re kind of in love with it. It does a great job of exposing our great content across the site, rather than just the latest posts. The 3...

The techAU app for Windows Phone 8 is now available. Our writers spend a lot of time and effort in writing content and we want to make sure that you can consume that content in as many places as possible.

While Windows 8 hit the RTM milestone last week, you don’t need to wait any longer to get your grubby mits on the techAU app. Built according to Microsoft’s Metro Windows 8 guidelines, the app takes advantage of a clean, slick UI showcasing the latest posts, reviews, podcasts, writers and social accounts.

If you like the content...

Last year was undoubtedly the biggest yet for techAU its continued growth and participation from readers continues to amaze me. Let me throw some stats at you,...

Obviously having the site offline for any length of time is incredibly frustrating and frankly unnacceptable. I want to make this clear, today’s downtime was due to issues with the current host AustDomains, not with techAU. I've decided to...

Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas. It’s been another fantastic year for techAU. With continued growth, new sponsorships, lots of new friends and best of all, there’s more Australian tech coverage than ever. I had planned on getting another episode of the podcast out before xmas, unfortunately it seems the podcast has been too successful. With around 10,000 downloads of...
