    Vodacom hasn't delivered stock of their iPhone 5's yet!

    So yesterday (Friday) I went to iStore Clearwater, told by very sheepish-looking staff that they'd sold all their Vodacom iPhone 5 upgrade stock - probably less than ten of them - earlier in the morning. Told there are no stock at any branches left, and when new stock will come is anyone's...

    Iphone vs Samsung Galaxy

    iPhone vs Samsung Galaxy S I've been using the Galaxy for about six months. Firstly, syncing with a computer is a major schlep. I loaded quite a lot of apps and the phone just got slower and slower. Did a lot of fiddling and the speed increased, then decreased again. On the positive side it's...

    What apps do you recommend for iPad?

    OK, top ten at the moment (could change tomorrow ;)) 1. My Day calendar. The built-in calendar is far from perfect, this is a worthy alternative. 2. Artstudio. Best drawing program IMHO. 3. Appdeals. Shows what apps are on special, or free for a limited time. Found a whole wad of games on...

    ios 4.2

    A few things about 4.2 So I upgraded to 4.2 on the iPad. It's an up and down ride so far. AirPrint works great with my HP printer. No probs there, and wireless printing has made my wife love me more ;) All of a sudden my compact flash card reader hooked up to my camera connection kit...

    Ipad 16gb wi-fi + 3g

    There's a computer shop in Cresta mall for those in Joburg, bought a 64gb + Wifi iPad there, R11K. But shop around for accessories, you can get them cheaper and more variety elsewhere.

    iPad - 3G options

    My experience is that the service level at Vodashops vary tremendously, from clueless to absolute great. I got my iPad a week or so ago, went to the Vodashop shop in Campus Square near UJ, the guy sorted me out with the CORRECT micro-sim, linked it to my existing contract account, etc, I was out...

    Ten things about my new iPad

    Oh yes, one more thing. Started using the iPad in a meeting this morning, it's now 15:20 and battery life with 3G on is at 55%. So lasts comfortably for a full day's meeting with battery to spare for the flight home.

    Ten things about my new iPad

    I had problems with slow backing up, and switching cables solved it. I have about 32 Gb of data, I'm sure if you have less data to sync the two cables may not be substantially different. Btw the actual connector 'head' of the iPad cable is smaller than the iPod cable. Some lekker apps: Pulse...

    Ten things about my new iPad

    Thought I'd post a few notables about the iPad I got a few days ago... 1. Its aluminium backing got nicked on the third day I had it. Wish I'd gotten an Apple or Belkin jacket for it straight away, but that R700 price tag put me off (R1200 for the Apple one!). The $29 one from Amazon is on its...
