Incredible Connection Blog | Dedicated to Technology, Dedicated to You

If you remember, last year’s Trade-in promotions had some amazing specials with Incredible Connection selling the cheapest Apple iMac and Macbook’s in South Africa for the month of February. This year, it’s no different.

How does Trade-in work?

All you have to do is bring in any old computer or accessories to claim the discount on all the products on special. It doesn’t even have to work! What Incredible Connection then does is either refurbish the items and donate them to charities in need, or if the product is not usable, they will make sure the electronics are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner with Enviro Connect and Desco.

Trade-in Specials

Lets kick off the Trade-in specials with gaming. How about the XBox 360 Elite for R2699?

For those of you looking to upgrade your happy snap digital camera to a more serious DSLR camera, the Nikon D3000 with 18-55mm kit lens is going for R4499. If you want something a little more mid range, the Nikon D5000 with 18-55mm kit lens is R7499 and the Canon 500D with 18-55mm lens is R8499.

Incredible Connection also have a few Apple iMac’s and Macbook Pros on special. The 21.5″ 3.06GHz 500GB HDD iMac is R13500, with the 13inch 2.53GHz Macbook Pro going for R16000.

All of us have some old computer or accessories that are collecting dust and probably don’t work. Why not bring in that old junk to get some really great discounts at Incredible Connection? You not only saving money, but helping the environment by disposing of your old hardware in an environmentally responsible manner.

We all knew it was going to happen and now it’s been confirmed; EA will be releasing the only officially licensed game for the 2010 World Cup. As can be expected, the title will be released across all major platforms. How the game will differ across each platform remains to be seen and can be tracked at: www.easports.com .

Players will have access to each and every team that took part in the World Cup qualifiers for 2010 (199 teams). All of the South-African stadiums will feature in the game as well as others based abroad (for qualification matches). If you’ve been following and playing the FIFA franchise as long as I have you’ll know that a World Cup game is quite standard issue; having said that, it must be noted that EA have packed this particular instalment with some features that have never been available before.

The latest creation coming out of Cupertino, Apple’s headquarters, is the iPad. As Steve Jobs announced on Wednesday night, the device is going to fill the gap between smartphones and laptops. It has a 9.7″ capacitive touchscreen that runs a operating system very similar to the one we see on the iPhone. Apps that currently run on your iPhone and iPod touch will also run on the iPad.

Geeks and journalists around the world are awaiting to see what Steve Jobs will be revealing later today. The invite they sent out looked as follows:

Come and see our latest creation

With that title, bloggers and journalists have been going wild at speculation at what Apple has up their sleeves. Probably the biggest rumour is that of an Apple tablet, which could be named iSlate, iTablet, iPad or iBook. It will probably be something completely different, but hey, we like to speculate too!

Leaked images of the Apple tablet have also surfaced on the web. Take a look at the following pics and decide for yourself.

There have also been rumours flying around that Steve will annouce the next generation iPhone, new version of the Apple mobile OS, updates to iLife and others. All that I can say for sure is you are going to have to wait until tonight to find out! If you want to follow the media event live, visit http://theappleblog.com/live/

The Digital Cube i-station T9 features a Samsung “S3PC100” processor and as the title would imply, high definition output.

Technical aspects that are known so far include a touch screen display, 4.3” screen displaying at a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels; the player will be available in a wide array of colours upon release. All popular music and video formats are supported making this a very handy and highly performance driven product which will also have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities.

The player also has an outgoing HDMI port which gives it the capability of being plugged into a larger screen. One of the features I especially liked about this product is its battery life; the Digital Cube i-station T9 offers 10 hours of video playback and 20 hours of audio playback at a go.

No release date has been scheduled or announced as yet.
