The statement on iGear’s website by Nicole:
The iPad WiFi+3G is carrier-locked and we cant use the U.S ones here, so we only expect availability toward September.
is absolute BULL and is CLEARLY intended to create confusion around the importation and use of US-purchased iPad 3G’s for use in South Africa.
I raised this point directly with Nicole in an email which pointed out that the quote on their website was incorrect.
On your website you state that: “The iPad WiFi+3G is carrier-locked and we cant use the U.S ones here.”
This is not actually true at all…
The Wi-Fi + 3G model has a micro-SIM slot (not mini-SIM ) located on the side of the device. The 3G model may be used with an AT&T data plan that does not require a contract. Apple has heavily advertised the uses of the no-contract plan on their website. Unlike the iPhone , which is usually sold locked to specific carriers, the 3G iPad is sold unlocked and can be used with any compatible GSM carrier.

I don’t know if you’ve included this statement on your website to try encourage local South Africans to purchase a WiFi version now, instead of waiting for later in the year once the iPad is officially launched in SA?
I don’t think that it’s right, and your statement is merely creating confusion regarding the 3G iPad and its use outside of the USA!
Some AMAZING pictures from the recently erupted Eyjafjallajökull Volcano in Iceland – causing MASSIVE flight problems all over Europe!!!
geohot twitter conversation
Rob Gilmour clearly has a LOAD of “scooter envy” at the moment as is clearly evident by his recent twitter comments regarding this specific mode of transportation around the Cape Town CBD …
Serious scooter envy. http://post.ly/Ap5f
@geekrebel kinda leaning towards brand names over Chinese ones. Yamaha one looks good. Any other ideas? Anyone looking to sell a scooter?
I am getting a scooter. We are being ripped off to park in CT! http://post.ly/ABRX
So, I thought that I would help him out with this, envy, by adding to it. I decided to do a little undercover “scooter assessment” by checking out all of the scooters currently parked in my complex, and found the following:
 Some slightly old ... and purple! |
 Pimped out with real Ostrich leather seat! |
 Another "oldie" parked off in the corner |
 Closeup of the Ostrich leather seat |
 old or new? At least it's blue! Looks nice! |
 Something a little more "modern" for the kids |
 And finally ... something a little more "off road" |
Hope that you enjoyed the pics Rob!
Can’t wait to see which you decide to buy! |
Question 1: Do you have an iPhone?
Question 2: Did you have “devliery reports” for your SMS messages on your old phone?
Question 3: Do you miss the delivery reports on your iPhone?
Question 4: Would you like delivery reports on your iPhone?
If you answered YES to all of the above four questions, then you will probably LOVE the following “iPhoneDelivery” application for your iPhone! It is a very simple application that you can install on your iPhone, which will enable delivery reports that you have loved and missed!!

Well, according to a recent post on the MyBroadBand forum the TomTom turn-by-turn GPS iPhone application has been “unofficially” launched for the South African market!
It is however apparently NOT available through the Apple AppStore, so you are going to have to come up with more constructive ways at downloading it.
It’s 147.24 MB in size, and works PERFECTLY !!!!!
Grab it while it is still available!
There is mention that you will need a jailbroken iPhone 3G or 3G[S] to install it however, so for those of you “legit” Vodacom users, you have a while to wait still!
