automating the world, one script at a time
Vodacom will screw you.
I just don’t understand it. The iPhone 3GS has been available for weeks from Vodacom, but it seems that other operators still “have no stock”. My contract is with Nashua Mobile and they are telling me that Vodacom are wanting to keep the phone exclusively for their customers at first before they release them to the other service providers.
Apple iPhone 3GS
Can they be any more obtuse ?!? Vodacom will still get the business at the end of the day, so why are they withholding stock ?
Come on Vodacom pull up your socks ! Are you getting nervous about interconnection rates being slashed and your years of taking us for a ride coming to and end ?

Vodacom wants to rob you
about 6 months ago - No comments
Whilst making coffee at the office this morning I was informed that Vodacom have finally enabled the Visual Voicemail feature for the iPhone on their network. This feature has been available on the handset since the launch of the original iPhone 2G some 3 years ago. I always understood that the feature wouldn’t be available
GTA for the iPhone

It was inevitable. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars was released earlier this week for the iPhone. The was ported from the Nintendo DS and PSP version by the Rockstar Games folk on Leeds. Although I haven’t played the other two versions, the game is apparently almost identical. It is available from the iTunes store for
Quick App for Xbox 360 Owners: 360 Live

Most of the apps I’ve installed that claim to deliver a great Xbox Live experience have fallen very short. This new app by Juan Xavier Larrea finally delivers the goods. I guess you need to be a bit of an Xbox Live freak to see the value in an app like this, but I’ve found
Tweetie 2 for iPhone

(8/10) For some time now I’ve resisted the urge to try out any of the pay-for Twitter applications on the iPhon, mostly because I’ve found the free ones to be more than sufficient for my needs. Tweetdeck for the iPhone has delivered all the functionality that I’ve needed and it was responsive enough for me

(7/10) After some initial hiccups with getting (and keeping) the application in the iTunes App Store, Manomio are back with C64 (iTunes link) and 8 free games. At first you may find yourself questioning your sanity, but after dropping £2.99 in the iTunes store and playing one of the old classics, you’ll be pulled right
Protect your iPhone

(9/10) I’ve never really been a fan of cell phone covers or cases. Usually because you end up compromising on the functionality of your device or you end up doubling its size. My 2G iPhone ended up looking like a expensive German bathroom fitting that had been attacked by a child with an angle grinder.
Windows 7 looks expensive and confusing
about 10 months ago - No comments
I just finished reading an article on MyBroadband where they have listed local pricing for the different Windows 7 options from a variety of brick and mortar and e-tailers. Firstly, I had no idea that there were so many options to choose from, again. Did M$ learn nothing with Vista ? There is no way

Steve Ballmer: “Let’s face it, the Internet was designed for the PC. The Internet is not designed for the iPhone. That’s why they’ve got 75,000 applications – they’re all trying to make the Internet look decent on the iPhone.” Wow ! Let’s not even begin to discuss IE6 and the fact that without ActiveX and
Tale of the annoying Apple headset mic
about 10 months ago - No comments
Does the placement of the microphone/volume control button on the Apple headset annoy anyone else ? Maybe I just happen to have a very unfortunate set of bodily proportions, but the microphone/button placement on the headset cable always catches on the collar or my shirt when I am sitting down with the earbuds in my
SIP clients for the iPhone
about 10 months ago - 2 comments
For quite some time now I’ve been on the hunt for a decent SIP client for the iPhone. At one point I almost gave up completely as it seemed that the only people that were interested in releasing SIP clients for the iPhone were companies that provided a “pay for” SIP service. There was no
