ZA Tech Show: Episode 33




ZA Tech Show show

Summary: Episode 33 was recorded in Holland at Symantec Vision + Manage Fusion 2008 in The Hague. But not in its entirety, thanks to dodgy technology. So we re-recorded it in South Africa. And apologise profusely for it being late. We discuss open document standards as the OXML committee suggests alignment and interaction with ODF, OpenOffice.org 3.0 is out, BlackBerry entering the touch-phone market with the announcement of the ‘Storm’, the migration to mobile, a new directive in the EU requiring vendors to have easily removable and recyclable batteries, battery technology in general including maximising battery times on laptops and why batteries will continue to suck for some time still, Nintendo’s new DSi and announcement that an HD Wii is in production, console gaming in general - why not? We also look at Mail Goggles and other things we’re not entirely sure about, things we learned and discussed at Symantec Vision + Manage Fusion and Google putting in local servers… or are they?
