    TalkCentral: Episode 46 – ‘Mission Control’

    It’s been a particularly busy week on the technology front in SA, so we have a bumper edition of the TalkCentral podcast lined up.

    Subscribe in iTunes

    Your hosts Duncan McLeod and Craig Wilson unpack DStv’s BoxOffice service, consider the latest developments in the mobile broadband price wars — Vodacom and Cell C both made announcements on the same day this week — and provide our first impressions of Mac OS X Lion.

    Also on the show this week, Craig talks about his visit to the Hartebeeshoek Radio Astronomy Observatory and Duncan considers the implications of Computer Sciences Corp’s big investment plans in SA.

    Last but not least, we talk about First National Bank’s smartphone banking apps and ask how important it is for SA banks — and their CEOs — to be seen as tech savvy.
