I was wrong!!!
On closer inspection...the Apple PowerBook can accomodate the MTN 3G data card.
I should say this before the WirelessMonkey comes to the defense of Apple.
I've got a couple of pics I want to share with you guys from the Go See Film Expo but can't because somehow the BT on the LG won't find the computer...really weird behaviour.
The reason I'm using the LG is due to the fact that my girlfriend has borrowed my phone for the day to take some pics.

Kryptik: What's the deal with eBooks? Ok you can download them but reading them on a cellphone's relatively small screen must be a mission or is this something that only people with smartphones can appreciate?
BTW, I've never owned a smartphone.

With an app like MobiPocket reading ebooks becomes quite enjoyable. One can increase font size and style, scroll horizontally or vertically, bookmark pages for future reference, set auto-scroll and backlight so that all you need to do is read and not punch keys. The human eye, according to an occupational therapist colleague of former days, is optimized to read or focus on a maximum of 5lines of text in relative comfort. So if one selects the correct font and size, scroll speed, all you then need is a tall glass of something cold and you're sorted out... I'm the first to admit, it doesn't come even close to reading a conventional book, but it's a close second.

What now? will they be giving away cash as an incentive for signing up?
Tahir when are you getting the W800i? I was suprised when some sales rep from CelluCity told me the phone was being released this week in SA.

That means your download is corrupt somewhere ! It happens sometimes on a radio link (cellphone). Reset phone (switch off back on) and download again. If the problem persists either the file itself is corrupt or the network signal is bad.On a audio video file is not that critical for every bit to be transmitted correctly,on a compacted (.Sis) file with almost zero reduncy a wrongly flipped bit during transmission is usually fatal.To minimize later confusion (program crash without programes fault) the S60 refuses to install it (if parity does not check) and shows the file in 'notepad' mode. (for the user to fix - a futile exercise) .If everything als fails ask a buddy to email the program/file to your pc.
