I just bought my data bundle this morning from Vodacom and I see that they have increased the 1GB to 1,2GB.(R289.00)
Not very generous ol' Vodacom.

Ya, me three got 1.2GB. Stingy VC!!! Could've made it 1.5 at least.
So, we now have a new pay tv provider. I wonder how their programming looks like cause I doubt there was much left for them after Multichoice scooped a lot of the programmes. Their subscription is cheap though.

Just bought another bundle but for my prepaid sim (N81), 75mb for R88 and have got 110mb, doesnt seem bad,what do you guys think?
But agree with you Dups, 1.5GB ATLEAST on the 1GB Bundle would've been good.
How about MTN's R50 a day unlimited data plan? Although apparently if you exceed 150mb in a day your data speed will be cutdown substantialy for that day, it works out to around R1500 per month, seems like a good deal for those of us who do a lot of internet surfing and moderate downloading,any MTN users here on it?

I think 2GB's would have been more to my liking.It is almost R300 we are paying.

Taken from The Register:
'World smartphone sales: Apple closes on RIM...
...and becomes US' leading phone maker
Apple has narrowed the gap between the iPhone and Research in Motion's BlackBerry, heating up the battle to be the world's second biggest seller of smartphones.
According to market watcher Strategy Analytics, Apple accounted for 16.4 per cent of world smartphone shipments in Q1 2010 - just 3.3 percentage points behind RIM.
Apple's Q1 tally is two points up on the 14.4 per cent share it scored for 2009 as a whole. RIM's share remained static, at 19.7 per cent. Year on year, it was effectively static too: falling a fraction of a percentage point from the 20.3 per cent share it achieved in Q1 2009.
Apple, on the other hand, saw its share jump from 10.6 per cent in the same timeframe, SA's numbers show.
Neither is yet able to challenge the mighty Nokia, which recorded a Q1 2010 share of 40 per cent, according to SA, up from 38.2 per cent in Q1 2009 and 38.8 per cent for 2009 as a whole.
The gains made by Apple and Nokia came at the expense of the 'others' category, which saw its share fall from 30.9 per cent in Q1 2009 to 23.8 per cent in Q1 2010.
Apple shifted 8.8m iPhones during the quarter. That now makes it the US' biggest phone manufacturer, Motorola having just announced that it sold 8.5m handsets - of all kinds - during the three-month period. As SA's numbers show, Apple is still behind RIM, but the BlackBerry maker is Canadian, don't forget.
During Q1, overall smartphone shipments hit 53.7m units worldwide, up almost 50 per cent on Q1 2009's total, 35.9m.'

Err... 10 million?
As much as I love Porsche I'd get a Rolls-royce Ghost and a Range Rover and still have some spare cash out of that 10 million. That is a lot of moola there!
That Porsche Panamera is fugly, I felt that way the first time I saw it and it gets uglier every time I see it.
I saw the BMW's competition to the Mercedes CLS on Ignition yesterday and I love it, it looks the part and as usual it will drive like a Bimmer.

Ya Dups, 'strue, no BS according to the one salesman there. Apparently it was bought by a high-profile BEE businessman as an investment, with the intention to resell it later (i.e. now) as it is the last one of its kind up for sale anywhere. There were only 1270 ever produced between 2005 and 2006:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_Carrera_GT
Carbon fibre everywhere. Even carbon ceramic brake discs etc. Still not driven yet.
Still, when the average performance Porsche in there is around the 1.2 mill mark (911 Cabriolet is just over 2 mill, etc), that kinda makes it hard to swallow. Maybe if you're around that flagship store in Witkoppen sometime, you could perhaps haggle a better price for it...
Eish, I'd have about 8 of the most exotic superbikes out there for about a mill in total, an X6M, Bentley Continental GT (or Aston Martin DB9), a mansion of note and enough to live pretty comfortably with the rest..
Er.. check this out; heresy, I tell ye:
