Favourite feature on MXit?
By now everyone has heard of MXit and hundreds of thousands of people are using it. It has also been bought by Avatar, so new features will naturally start to appear once the servers are running safe and sound under the new control. Of course, the current features will remain (at least I assume so) and new ones will be added, but which of the current features are going to inspire the changes, which features are the most sought after?
I wanted to take this opportunity to ask all of you what is your favourite feature on MXit is? It’s always interesting to hear from the public what reasons lead them to using a piece of software.
Is it the multi-media sending, is it the cost, is it the chat room?
Leave a comment and let me know please :)
Awesome wooden iPhone covers
Matt Turner and Randy Lively, who are Apple fans with 30 years of experience in custom fabrication, decided to create a company called Material 6. The idea behind the company was to perfect the iPhone 4 experience by creating covers that are elegant and comfortable. The idea is that the wood replaces the glass back cover on the iPhone.
I’m sure you agree with me that this is a new level to covers – ok, so it’s not really a cover, but more a design addition, but nevertheless, you’ll agree with me that they’re pretty darn awesome?

Smartphone, Pamphlet, Nanoparticles
In nanotechnology, a particle is defined as a small object that behaves as a whole unit in terms of its transport and properties. Particles are further classified according to size: in terms of diameter, coarse particles cover a range between 10,000 and 2,500 nanometers. Fine particles are sized between 2,500 and 100 nanometers. Ultrafine particles, or nanoparticles are sized between 100 and 1 nanometers.
The Booklet unfolds like a pamphlet with each side representing a commonly used application or function. Manufacturers can cut it to any size and once it’s worn out, just recycle it. Don’t worry about private information because everything is served from a cloud. Power is supplied by the sun thanks to energy absorbing nanoparticles.

Voice controlled TVs are finally here, Apple didn’t win the race!
Has Vlingo beaten Siri to it?
By now most people have heard about Siri, Apple’s mobile voice assistant. With the technology that Siri brought to the table, Steve Jobs said that he’d “cracked” the code for TVs, in the sense that a TV (read: Apple TV) would soon be controlled by voice.
Well, that was looking great until Vlingo stepped in; Vlingo is a virtual assistant that turns your voice into words and applies to the mobile smart phone industry. Here are three videos to bring you up to speed:
So it’s quite obvious that Vlingo is somewhat like Siri, but the problem here, for Apple and Apple fans, is that it looks like Vlingo has beaten Apple to the button with the voice television! About a week ago Vlindo announced at CES 2012 that it’s virtual assistant for Smart TVs is available, here’s a video example of what they’re doing:
Then just two days later Vlingo was featured on CNET, take a watch:
Pretty damn awesome! I still believe that Apple will release this technology very soon and I have no doubt that their solution will be seamless and beautiful like all their other software!
Magnetic wood – minimalist natural iPad stand
Etsy always has gems and one of those gems was found this evening, an iPad stand using magnetic wood:
This wonderful piece was made by Anna from San Francisco and sells for just $27 (delivery to South Africa is $6.50 on top). All you do is place the two slim stands on either side of the iPad (any direction) and you’ll achieve a perfect balance – as simple as that.
Another bonus is that you can choose from maple, cherry or walnut wood, with cream, milk chocolate or charcoal felt lining :)
