There are a number of big launches coming soon, with Amazon having advised the press of a special meeting on 7 September where Jeff Bezos is expected to make a major announcement – one would guess something to do with Kindle or perhaps an iPad type competitor, although one would hope that they would stick to their knitting and focus on a reading device.
It is also not very long away from the launch of whatever Apple’s new products are, with some people speculating that there will be two separate press conferences, possibly with the first one as soon as 12 September and obviously what one is expecting the latest release of the operating software iOS 6 as well as the next iPhone. It is quite possible as well, according to rumours, that a mini iPad, which would be wonderful for portable watching of TV, etc, may be released at the same time. In any event, for fans of Amazon and Apple, and I am a big fan of both companies, there is a lot to look forward to in September and hopefully launches of whatever the products are, in South Africa shortly thereafter. For example, when it comes to Amazon, while the Kindle has been released in South Africa, the Kindle Fire has never been released in South Africa or indeed in the UK as yet, despite the fact that it has been out for almost a year.

I have heard that alot of people are switching from blackberry to iphone, due to the service being slow, freezing etc. but alot of people will (and still do) buy Blackberry cause of "free messages" - i dont think that the Samsung (android run devices) are that bad.

I agree with Simone - the only problem I have is that its constantly changing and a new one coming out as well as it being expensive with regards to using the internet/receiving emails etc.

I'm very excited for the new iPhone. Can't wait to see what it looks like as I am considering switching from BB to iPhone.
