Do you want to win an iPhone 3GS?

Since the launch of this portal in Sep 2008, we‘ve been promoting this unconventional bootstrapped venture throughout the world and we’re quite intrigued with the support shown by the blogosphere. Bloggers from all the continents have participated in this venture. We have received our 2,000th registration this month and as a big “THANK YOU”, we’ve decided to give away 30 iphones (3GS) to 30 lucky twitter users in 15 days. We’d like to thank our official sponsor Hostgator for the tremendous support they’ve shown by sponsoring a part of this campaign.

Vodacom have just announced the iPhone 3GS pricing. It’s coming in rather steep unfortunately, but if you’re on a business contract, then you’ll be able to upgrade without too much hassle. The iPhone 3G has proven to be a fantastic mobile phone and the 3GS will follow suite.

Here’s a look at the costing:

My favorite thing about living in a city: not having to have a car. My least favorite thing about living in a city: not having a ride home and struggling to get a cab.

The free iPhone app Taxi Magic was made for me — and anyone else who ever needs to use taxis. The radical “magic” booking is one-click taxi ordering and is supported in 25 major cities. For cities that aren’t on the list, Taxi Magic can still hook you up with the numbers.

Even if you don’t take cabs a lot, at some point you may be traveling and need transportation, and guess who’s gonna be your best friend when you’re shivering on a lonely street corner, miles from your hotel?
