    TalkCentral: Ep 77 – ‘BackBerry?’

    It’s BlackBerry, BlackBerry and more BlackBerry in the latest episode of TalkCentral, TechCentral’s weekly technology podcast hosted by Duncan McLeod and Craig Wilson. The launch of BlackBerry 10 by the company once known as Research in Motion, certainly dominated the news this week. But is BlackBerry back? Tune in to hear our take.

    Also on the show this week, we touch briefly on the news of the sale of personal financial management start-up 22seven to Old Mutual and the recent cuts in uncapped fixed-line broadband data prices.

    Our choice of “winner” this week is Telkom (believe it or not), and our “loser” is Altech. Tune in to find out why.

    Our app picks this week are, from Duncan, the Flickr app (for Android, iPhone and Windows Phone) and, from Duncan, Dialer One (for Android).
