A little while ago I posted a review of the Samsung Galaxy S II here.  Apart form issues I had with the battery life and the amount of data the OS consumes, I was quite favourable towards the handset. But now that I’ve had it for a good month, I’m less inclined to recommend it [...]

The Samsung Galaxy S II (also fondly known by its other name, the Samsung I9100) is the latest Android-based smart phone to come form the Korean electronics giant.  It’s also been called “the best smart phone ever” by technology pundits around the world.  On paper, it very well could be.  If you look at the [...]

Jeez, Apple fanboys are frothing at the mouth like their Kool Aide has been laced with Ship Mate bubble bath.  Last week, the Jobsinator annoucned – amongst other things – iMessage, an iPhone-to-iPhone messaging system that’s similar to BBM on BlackBerry and WhatsApp on everything else. It’s been called a BBM killer and many others [...]

[Disclaimer: I wasn’t invited to the events and I didn’t get a free iPhone 4] So this week, MTN and Vodacom launched the iPhone 4 at around exactly the same time on the same day at two separate “parties”.  In the run-up, a bunch of journos and bloggers got their hands on some review units [...]

The South African Twittersphere recently erupted into what I’ve called the iPad Wars, where it would seem every brand and its aunty is giving away a piece of coveted Apple hardware or some other prizes in exchange for retweets, liking stuff on Facebook and using specific hashtags, including: Afrihost MemeBurn & WantItAll 27Dinner Sanlam Needless [...]

South Africa’s tagline should change from “It’s possible” to “It’s out of stock” – because that’s all you ever hear when you walk into retail shops, or even order online these days. Now, I’m not sure if it’s pure laziness, incompetent buyers, useless merchandising staff, clueless sales people or a combination of the above, but [...]

A lot of people hate Microsoft and, in many cases, they are justified.  Let’s face it, previous iterations of Windows (pre-XP at least) were dogs of operating systems and caused more frustration than good.  But I’d hazard a guess that the vast majority of people who “hate” Microsoft don’t really know why – maybe because [...]
