There are a number of great lessons we can learn from Steve Jobs, but this week (at the WWDC 2011...
Daily Maverick today announced that it will launch iMaverick, South Africa's first daily newspaper specifically designed for the iPad. Due to premier in August 2011, iMaverick is currently being promoted with an exclusive offer that enables consumers to sign up for R395.00 pm and receive an iPad 2 bundled with the subscription to iMaverick.
The company also introduced voice search with Bing on Xbox and Kinect that will enable people to use their voice to tell their Xbox what entertainment content they are looking for, which will give them faster access to the ever-expanding universe of entertainment available right in their living room.
One year down the line and Mweb's promise is still true! Users are able to download as much bandwidth as they desire and most of their users get away with it but there is a select few that have been sent emails and been called asking them to either download less or be disconnected for abuse. In my opinion this is a fair practice. ISP’s all over the world who have been offering uncapped packages for years are now restricting their clients to a specific amount of data a month because there is a small percentage of users who abuse the system and download anything they can find to their hearts content. Some users in South Africa are downloading over 500GB+ a month on their uncapped packages and I don’t believe this is necessary. Just because you are paying for uncapped it doesn’t mean you should download 24/7 just because you can. How do you even consume 500GB of data in a month (and how much of that piracy)?
In a rather strange fashion for Apple, they already announced what they will be focussing on at the World Wide Developer Conference, which starts in a few hours. So Apple will be talking about iOS5 (its mobile operating system), Mac OSX 10.6 Lion (its latest version of its desktop operating system) and iCloud, a service no one really seems to know anything about. Of course the rumours are everywhere, so we here at Bandwidth Blog had to use our common sense about what we are likely to see later today.
Oh my gosh, now they’ve gone and done it. Groupon has filed for an IPO, and no-one is really...
I have never quite gotten the hype behind Blackberry. For one - I always believed it to be a device for suits. Nothing wrong with that, but I like my phone to be used wherever I want, and to be fun to use. And Blackberries never seemed to do that. Until now.
