On the back of a major #Fail for Apple's iPhone in China, HTC has been very adamant to get the G1 into China by mid year 2009. The Google powered handset can already be found on the streets of China for about $580 and with the major uptake on the streets already, it only makes sense for HTC to bring it legally to the market!

The Nokia N85 has been reported to be better than the flagship N-Series phone, the N96, by an Italian reviewer recently and I couldn't help but to first think that this Italiano was high on olives and smoking his socks!

But oh goodness is this a beast of a phone!

A handset with detachable modules has surfaced recently. It seems that a QWERTY keyboard module can be attached for messaging and std use of the phone, a Game Pad for a full gaming experience and the 3rd module is a speaker for full multimedia playback.


The main unit seems to be fitted with a 3 inch touch screen. This is definitely a pinnacle achievement for mobile convergence!

I don't know who the handset manufacturer is, but well done guys, this looks awesome!

At midnight tonight, the petrol price in South Africa will be dropping for the 4th consecutive month now!

Dropping by a huge 45cents, this is a welcomed relief for the economy and highlights the strength of our economy and the ability for our markets to fight off further inflation!

Picasa 3.0 Beta launched in late September and it changed the way we managed our photos forever. Effortlessly, simplifying photo management, editing and posting to the web.
Picaso 3.0 has just come out of Beta. They have also included video management in the latest version. The site still says that it's Beta, but the download file is definitely the final version. I highly recommend Picasa, download it here!

I love Audi! I've said it before and you are damn sure that you will hear it again! When Audi launched the new Audi A4, I couldn't help but skip a heart beat. It is stunningly sexy and an absolutley amazing car to the point that I had to have one.

So I am an Audi owner now. My biggest problem with this though, is that every time I see a new model, I start having these cravings and I'm almost tempted to pull into the driveway of an Audi Dealership and get the enthusiastic salesman to do a swop for me!

I've just had a look at the new Audi Q5 on the video below... and those urges are back! Somebody slap me!



Thanks to Zoopy for the videos of the Johannesburg International Car Show!

Windows only: Chart Advisor, a free plug-in for Excel 2007, takes the guess-and-hope element out of making your spreadsheet data presentable. The plug-in adds a single button to Excel's "Insert" toolbar, and clicking it brings up a window with the Advisor's recommended layouts, ranked in order of relevance. Mouse over the chart layouts to see a preview, then click on "Modify Chart" to filter and change the data being used.

It's definitely more helpful than Excel's default chart and graph chooser, and helps graphing newbies figure out how to tweak their displays. Chart Advisor is a free plug-in, requires 32-bit Windows XP or Vista and Excel 2007. See below for a video demonstration of Chart Advisor's features.
