There's an app for that

http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/s...804-11cpb.html

"There's a brand new property app on the block that gives iPhone users detailed information on the value of any house they care to point their handset towards"

"Just by pointing an iPhone at a particular property, they will be able to see the last sale price of the property, and if the home is actually for sale, the app will bring up a listing from realestate.com.au with details such as home layout and pictures."

Now personally I think that's quite clever.

you can search online at www.onthehouse.com.au but pointing your phone at a house is way cooler.

Wouldn't do much good pointing my phone at a house Might make the homeowner look at me a tad suspiciously though

I even have an old fashioned, or is that retro style, mobile phone bill .... about $50 per year.

When I got my first mobile phone it was probably $50 due to making about 5 calls per year

I need to try to look back to those days mobile call costs...
I can recall the day I got it, and they delivered it to the house.

I think it was something like this


But when I went a bit further west, towards the Blue Mountains, I needed to hire one of these...

God I remember them! Top 4 directors of the company I worked for in 88'ish all walked in thru the door one day carrying these bricks.

It's a mobile phone I tell ya!
