Google Nexus One
Google recently released Nexus One. I went to check it out, and to my shock, it isn't available for South Africa yet. *cries*
So instead of dreaming of one, I started looking at the specs for it. Wow! What a good piece of kit this is! Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AGPS, EDGE. Now you might be wondering why this is all such a big deal, any high-end Nokia has those features. The reason I instantly loved this phone, is the OS, Android. Android is the first open-source mobile operating system.
So being an open-source advocate, this is a natural choice for me. Great work Google!!

Broadband?! Where?!
Results from a global study of the quality of broadband in the world was released yesterday. Now these results show some interesting things, like the top country is South Korea, with penetration of 97% over it's population and a broadband quality score of 66. Well done to them.
The list goes on Japan, Hong Kong, Sweden, etc.
Then from the bottom up, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Indonesia, India, and the shocker, South Africa!
The reason this is so shocking is, Telkom aims to handle all the new tourists for the 2010 world cup. How on earth are we going to handle all those people, when we are so far down the line for broadband quality?! I have no idea, but I'm sure it will be interesting! Very much so!
