The Huawei Ascend P6 smartphone launches in South Africa
· At 6.18mm, the HUAWEI Ascend P6 is one of the world’s slimmest smartphones
Johannesburg, August 16, 2013: Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today unveiled the HUAWEI Ascend P6, one of the world’s slimmest smartphones measuring a mere 6.18mm.
The smartphone features a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and a sleek metallic body. With its 4.7-inch high definition in-cell display, industry-leading 5MP front-facing camera, and outstanding software, the HUAWEI Ascend P6 is the embodiment of elegance with an edge.
“Huawei’s reputation for industry-leading technology is a result of over 20 years experience in the ICT sector, as our business continues to grow by 10% year on year amidst the economic challenges,” said Mr Li Dafeng, President of Huawei Eastern and Southern Africa Region. “Our smartphones are reasonable in price, yet offer the latest technology and high quality performance.” Dafeng assured of Huawei’s commitment to continue providing Africa with the opportunity to stay connected any time anywhere as the company marks 15 years of operation in the region.
The South African launch was held the launch at The Venue at Greenpark, Sandton. Several celebrities and the who’s who of the mobile phone industry got the opportunity to catch an early peak at the HUAWEI Ascend P6.
The HUAWEI Ascend P6 is ultra slim at 6.18mm and weighs just about 120g. While it is small enough to slip into the tiniest of pockets or clutch bags, the stylish HUAWEI Ascend P6 is designed to be seen and coveted. It features a an Android 4.2.2 operating system, 2000mAh battery, 4.7-inch HD in-cell LCD screen technology, and ‘MagicTouch’ for enhanced screen responsiveness even when wearing gloves.
As the flagship smartphone of the Huawei Ascend P series, the HUAWEI Ascend P6 embodies a cutting edge design for the fashion conscious. The smartphone’s brushed metallic look with a naturally curved base is both elegant and intuitive. Impossibly beautiful, the Ascend P6 balances fashionable features and user-friendly functions.
Perfect for ‘selfies’, the HUAWEI Ascend P6’s industry-leading 5MP front-facing camera and auto facial-enhancing capabilities create model-gorgeous shots you’ll want to share. Its 8MP rear-facing BSI camera with F2.0 aperture and 4cm macro view also enables 1080P full HD video recording and playback. With Huawei’s proprietary IMAGESmart software, the HUAWEI Ascend P6 turns even the most novice photographer into a professional, with contrast and colour enhancement, auto scene recognition, object tracing focus, and instant facial beauty support.
The HUAWEI Ascend P6 is even more intuitive and able to be customised with Huawei’s Emotion UI. Inspired by people, for device users worldwide, Huawei has gathered input from over 5 million consumers to help us optimise the latest version of Emotion UI. The proprietary user interface includes updates to Uni-Home, including enhanced security, Huawei’s Me Widget, MagicTouch, and SmartReading. New to Huawei’s Emotion UI are the panoramic shot and facial recognition photography functions.
Huawei’s unique Automated Discontinuous Reception (ADRX) and Quick Power Control (QPC) battery optimisation and power saving technology improves performance by more than 30%, compared with smartphone batteries of equal size. With its multi-screen AirSharing capability, you can connect to a range of devices to boost your productivity at work or play by easily sharing documents, or enhance your gaming experience with minimal lag time.

Asus EEE PC
Since our feature on the new Asus portable wunderkind (see “Your
own PC: Funky but affordable” on page six of the November 2007
issue), we’ve been inundated with enquires about local availability. Yes,
they’re finally here, and you can get them today from retailers like Hifi
Corporation and Incredible Connection. Out of town? Kalahari.Net says it
will ship the EEE PC 701-W (R3 299.95* on the website) to you within
a week, and was due to launch the PC 701-CW (R3 599.95* on the
website) at the time of going to press.
These ultrasmart critters are creating a new segment in the portable
notebook market; that of low ultrasmall — even pocket-size — Web surfing
and mobile devices. One clear indication of their potential is Gartner’s belief
that within four years, half of all travelling workers will leave their notebooks
at home in favour of such devices. Indeed, so taken is the industry with the
Asus Eee, that — (since imitation is the sincerest of flattery) — it seems
companies like Acer are rapidly following suit.
And if you’re running an IT department and are wondering whether
such ultrasmall devices aren’t really enterprise tools, think again. Gartner
warns you will soon have to manage a wider variety of client device
types, and advises you to include this requirement in the selection criteria
for all client computing management solutions.
“Apply workstation-style criteria for security, privacy and tracking to
portable personalities,” the research group adds. “If you can’t emulate
what can be done on a workstation, you will fail to meet compliance
requirements.”
“We see this product as one of those revolutionary products that
only come around once in a lifetime,” Zandré Rudolph, sales director at
Rectron, tells us. “the way the cell phone changed our lives, this little
powerful EEE PC will change the way we communicate and interact with
and on the Internet.”
According to Rudolph, the new EEE PC could go a long way to bridging
the digital divide in South Africa, since it makes It available and affordable
to everyone, and addresses the needs of both the PC-literate, as well as of
people who have never used a PC before.
“The nice thing about the EEE PC is that it’s aimed at one specific market
segment, but will be used in all the other sectors, including school kids,
university students, grandparents, moms and teachers and so on,” he adds.
Having used an EEE PC for a while, we were — quite frankly
— astonished and fans within five minutes. they may be “low-cost”
but there’s none of the typical tackiness that comes with el-cheapo
technologies. the Asus Eee just oozes quality from every little pore. In
our tests, wireless access worked better than even full-featured, far more
expensive notebooks, proving fast and reliable access both to a LAN as
well as the Internet. If you’ve got great big stubby fingers, you may find the
keyboard a bit cramped, and if your eyesight is particularly bad, the screen
may not be to your liking, but these may be small sacrifices for this kind of
technology in a unit slightly bigger than a DVD box.
We can’t wait to see where this technology will take us.

The Christ Church (or Christuskirche) is a historic landmark and Lutheran church in Windhoek, Namibia.
After the end of the wars between the Germans and the Khoikhoi, Herero, and Ovambo in 1907, the ground breaking ceremony took place and on October 16, 1910 the church was opened and dedicated as the Church of Peace. The Lutheran Church, which was built in the gothic revival style with Art Nouveau elements, stands in the historic center of Windhoek. Its 24 m high spire was made, like the rest of the church, out of quartz sandstone mined at Guche-Ganus Farm in the vicinity of present Avis Dam. The portal and the altar were made of marble from Italy. The clock and part of the roof was shipped from Germany, as were the three bronze bells cast by Franz Schilling. They bear the inscriptions "Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe" (Glory to God in the highest), "Friede auf Erden" (Peace on earth), and "Den Menschen ein Wohlgefallen" (Goodwill towards men). During a confirmation service in the 1960 the clapper of the main bell came loose, smashed through the window and fell on the street. Window bars were installed in reaction to this.[1]
The colorful stained lead glass windows in the sanctuary were a gift from Emperor Wilhelm II. In the late 1990s a tourist noticed that all of them were installed with the sun protection on the inside. In the two years following this discovery, all window elements were restored and turned around.[1]
The Church is located on Fidel Castro Street near the Parliament Gardens and Tintenpalast.
A Solihull-based company which specialises in hi-tech business communications has won an award from TV entrepreneur James Caan.
‘messagesupermarket.com’ uses text messaging and email to help businesses keep in touch with customers, increase sales and identify new business opportunities.
Single or combined messages are delivered immediately or at predetermined future dates and times to individuals or groups of contacts, employees or customers.
JulianHinton said: “ ’messagesupermarket’ can be utilised for communicating reminders of appointments, sales campaigns, up–selling, managing subscription orientated businesses, deadlines, adverts, thank you’s and instructions etc.
“The benefits are obvious, from the dental surgery wishing to ensure customers turn up on time, to the service business wanting to keep customers fully informed, to the hairdresser or restaurant wishing to boost sales from customers it hasn’t seen recently, to the heating engineers who want to communicate easily with their field personnel.
“The software includes inbuilt systems for customer data collection and for the identification of new business opportunities.”

Softline Pastel - a member of the Softline Group and a local leader in accounting, payroll and business software -- has launched Pastel My Business Online, its first online accounting system, which targets small to medium businesses (SMBs).
“Very often, products become complicated by the sheer volume of features added to it over time," says Softline Pastel managing director Steven Cohen, who explained that by developing Pastel My Business Online from scratch, the company had the opportunity to design the software specifically for business owners who were either starting out with very little bookkeeping knowledge, or who only wanted a basic system.

Spot the Canon
And win a Canon 400D D-SLR valued at R8 500.
Following on its highly successful first year, which saw over 48 000 online entries alone, Canon SA again gives hawkeyed South Africans the opportunity to enter its Spot the Canon campaign – and Charged readers stand the chance of winning the highly-acclaimed Canon 400D D-SLR.
Keep your eyes peeled for any Canon logo you encounter in any setting, and post it to the Charged Flickr group at www.flickr.com/groups/charged, tagged with “Spot the Canon”. Make sure you tag your photo with "Spot The Canon".
“We believe that Spot the Canon puts a new and interactive spin on advertising as it encourages people to proactively look for our logos and then photograph it – making it even more exciting,” says Michelle Janse van Vuuren, general manager: marketing at Canon Consumer Imaging SA.
“It subtly yet effectively creates top-of-mind awareness of the Canon brand without the frills of more traditional advertising campaigns. Canon is a well-known established brand, however, the digital era is still in its infancy. With Spot the Canon we’ve taken a hip approach that aligns itself with what Canon was doing locally and internationally.
What’s in the Canon 400D?
Canon’s 400D has a massive 10 megapixel CMOS sensor chip with the same Digic II processor used on top range cameras. It’s built tough, lightweight and compact, weighing in at just 510 grams and is compatible with the whole range of Canon’s EF lenses.

• EOS integrated cleaning system

I took a little time to flick and swipe and pinch apps on HP's latest tablet.at today's Johannesburg launch.
And for someone who hasn't really been convinced by Microsoft's new OS, all I can say is "I flicked a Windows 8 tablet and I liked it."
Mind you, that is a snap judgement. I won't know how cool until Alex gets hold of it.
