Your hosts Duncan McLeod, Craig Wilson and special guest Siri bring you a bumper end-of-year edition of TalkCentral, clocking in at more than an hour, in which we reveal our favourite gadgets of 2011, from tablets to smartphones and from ultrabooks to TVs. We also do a live demonstration of Siri, for those who are keen to see how it works for SA users.

Also this week, we chat about the latest news, including the Independent Communications Authority of SA’s plans to open the 800MHz and 2,6GHz radio frequency spectrum bands and what this means for operators and consumers. We chat about DStv’s BoxOffice Online trial, Yahoo in SA, rumours about former Vodacom Group CEO Alan Knott-Craig’s future plans, and much more besides.
