I went to bed the other night and suddenly realised that I hadn’t seen my iPad for a couple of days. It wasn’t in the Safe House, so I got out of bed, went to the garage and searched my car and my Vespa – nothing! It gradually dawned on me that I might not have seen my iPad since the Tuesday of that same week – on a flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town (a Kulula flight, no less). Oh my good Lord, what had I done?

Sumos…Big hands = big slaps Anyone who knows a thing or two about the intricacies and nuances of life as a Sumo Wrestler (pfft, who doesn’t?) will understand that the Sumo is a creature bred for power, weight, and a surprising degree of flexibility. But they’re definitely not bred for texting, or email, or any […]
There has been so much press about the new iPhone 4 and its various pros and cons, that I doubt I need to educate you about them. The point is that people who have had the last two or three iPhones don’t give a toss about anything but owning the new one. And that includes […]
Sydney Restaurant, Mundo Global Tapas, may have a silly sounding name, but they are rocking the their technological potential as an eatery. Picture this: You walk into a restaurant, and instead of being handed the usual crusty leather-bound tome of a menu fitted with pseudo-brass corners, you’re handed an iPad. You think, “Cool! A pre-drinks […]
iPad dummies are available for $49, no word of lies. Yep, that’s 100% genuine fake replica right there. The dimensions are exactly the same, the weight is similar, and the plastic of the replica bears a striking resemblance to the metal and glass of the real deal. But, sadly, the brains are all missing. Where […]
There are a lot of iPhone apps out there and, as much as I would like to focus on all of them, my attention has been fully diverted to the new kid on the my block, the iPad. By the way, did I tell you that I subscribed to 12 issues of Wallpaper magazine for […]
I’ll be honest, I’m settling into the iPad quite nicely and starting to incorporate it into everyday life. I genuinely find typing on it (in portrait) an absolutely pleasure, typing at virtually the same speed as I do on a normal keyboard. Look at me, being all detailed and informative, like I’m not on my […]
Those of you following 2oceansvibe on Twitter would have seen this yesterday. You see, I was rubbing my new iPad against my body and accidentally opened up the TIME Magazine app. It’s a much celebrated iPad app and you can see why. This pic was captured as one of their five best pics of the […]
“They” come out with hundreds of thousands of new apps every month and, very often, they’re rubbish – often making use of some of the iPhones hardware unnecessarily. Not this time. I found this little gem which will be very handy for our 2010 WC visitors wanting to take a break and catch a flick. […]
You can only imagine the zone you can get into, listening to some vinyl, with a joint in one hand and your new iPad in the other – on the day that Google Maps goes live with “Google Street View” for Cape Town. My God, I have traipsed every square inch of this city, all […]
The Apple Icon is one of the world’s most powerful brands. Not only does it front the most economically powerful leisure technology manufacturer in the world, it is also a lesson in simple, elegant design with the aesthetic legs to carry it through multiple decades. Which is precisely why you should slap a mo or […]

Let your iPhone or iPod Touch become your travel companion with The South Africa Travelers’ Kit, which contains essential information that you need to have at hand when visiting the Rainbow Nation for the World […]
My buddy Shaun Trennery over at Izimvo sent me a link yesterday about something called the “Air Display,” which is a wonderful app for my new iPad (Digicape smartly gave me a test unit, before they hit our shores – so be sure to pre-book yours!). Shaun obviously caught my barrage of tweets, as I […]
These little Jobs/Gates filmstrips are doing the rounds. They’re good. I like that. I like it a lot. You know when I refer to “quality humour.” Ja, well, that is quality humour. There are TONS more. Follow the jump to check ’em out.
Yesterday was exactly one year since we published the now famous Cape Town Waterfront iStore article. To celebrate this milestone, we checked our Google stats and noted that that particular post is in the Top 20 most read articles on 2oceansvibe (ever!), with close on 8,000 views in the last 12 months (currently 7,675 visits)! […]
I am getting pretty excited about my new iPad which will be in my hands in a couple of weeks. With that in mind, I found myself browsing the net for accessories. Needless to say, Louis Vuitton have come up trumps with their range of iPad covers. Just LOOK at these beauties! I would probably […]
My beautiful babies, Daddy has snuck out of town for a month. I know I should have told you properly before I left, but if I had done that, you wouldn’t have let me leave. Everyone knows that an “Eagle Claw,” when performed by a model, is infinitely stronger than a Pit-Bull’s lock jaw. I […]
It’s ironic that Cokey Falkow and I were talking about the iPad during Friday’s 2oceansvibe Radio Show; and then, not 48 hours later, a 2oceansviber sent the first documented picture of 2oceansvibe being read on the iPad – with Cokey Falkow appearing in the top article! Congratulations Deán Stassen! 2oceansvibe.com is VERY at home on […]
As the regulars would have noticed, 2oceansvibe has been plastered with ads for MWEB’s new uncapped broadband service – the first uncapped service in South Africa. They have a number of packages and there is one to suit every pocket and speed. I would like to tell you about my package. Sis, don’t be rude […]
You’re not going to believe this, but someone who works for Apple apparently left the new unreleased iPhone 4G in a bar. The device made it’s way to our favourite tech geek website, Gizmodo, who broke it down for us. They have put together stacks of pics and videos of the beautiful little beast. […]
I know some of you are getting tired of hearing about the iPad, but I’m afraid you’re going to have to get used to it – it’s only one of the more important advancements in media, techonology and communication the world has ever seen. But not only that, it’s also tons of fun. Maybe this […]
When someone tells you that the operating system of all things Apple is “child’s play,” you don’t necessarily take them literally. Perhaps you should – especially in the case of the latest Apple toy – the iPad. Enjoy this video – it’ll knock your socks off! Oh, so now it’s an educational tool as well. […]
By now you will be well aware of the fact that I am seldom lured from my salubrious surroundings. Ubiquitous annual jaunts to south of France, LA and the med notwithstanding, tearing myself away from The Safe House and the majesty of Cape Town is not an activity I enter into lightly. Hence a trip […]

It didn’t take long for the first iPad porn site to appear. Now I know you will be able to access the usual porn sites on the iPad, but, without Flash capabilities, some of them might not work. I assume! I mean, I don’t know anything about porn sites, but *ahem* it’s an interesting discussion, […]
Just recently someone asked me why I am so focused on the iPad. “Hahahaha,” I said unto him, “you’re hysterical!” I focus on the iPad because it’s important. I focus on the iPad because there is a new shift in media and technology and delivery, which effects us all. I don’t even need to get […]
I tell you what, I’m counting the days before this puppy appears at Digicape, But, in the meantime, the best we can do is check out these reviews from leading critics in the US. And they’re not looking too shabby! And for those of you who continue to skip articles about the iPad – WAKE […]

It sold something silly like 300,000 copies on it’s first day in the US, with total […]
I found this tool called Flight Track and I used it to keep an eye on The Muse’s flying progress during her recent trip to and from Dubai and Hong Kong. You load it up and simply input the flight number and date of departure. Then BOOM! : How rad is that!? – It tells […]
