Summary: This week we recorded live at rAge 2008, thanks to Toshiba. Dimitri Tserpis, CTO for Mustek also dropped by for a chat, joining Duncan McLeod, Brett Haggard, Ben Kelly and Simon Dingle. Topics covered include exhibitions growing in South Africa while they scale down everywhere else, Nokia launching the 5800 iPhone competitor and the HTC Dream G1 coming to South Africa. Simon is probably in trouble for giving out the details of the latter. Brett reckons the 3G iPhone establishes a connection quicker on MTN than Vodacom, and Telkom is about to launch its HSDPA network. This sparks a discussion surrounding the changing broadband landscape. We also look at Google's 'Search 2001', iBurst's strange WiMAX offering, Qualcomm's Gobi chipset that connects to anything, anywhere and rising power consumption on the upper end of the PC spectrum. Some self indulgence creeps into the show as we discuss retro computing. Bear with us. Multichoice's competition is coming from the strangest places... and Duncan has the details. The DSTV HD PVR's software bugs have also not been sorted out yet, but will be soon. And Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri is still going at Altech. Surpised? Check out www.zatechshow.co.za
