Yes it is. And usually just as happened in the US most of us don't know until its a few months away. Plus we have a crucial election around that time.... Maybe the election may extend the implementation date though

You will need to contact eTranzact directly for up to date details but the basics;

1. Pay Merchant Account Fees

2. Download API samples (if required)

3. Integrate using the eTranzact API

It was great as a piece of creative writing wasn\'t it Mike.
But yes we have ended the series. We (the author and myself as the editor) decided the core audience ofhe website were not that into it.

But if you Love it, we\'ll be exploring having stories under one of our new sites (we\'ll keep our readers posted) which we believe will give the authors more creative freedom to explore as many themes without being worried about restricting the content to suit a \'core audience\'.

Watch Out, this series may just come out again, free of any shackles it had here.

Good point. We\'ll be exploring some of the points raised, under a \'Living without BIS\' themed post.

I have tried iSkoot but it still required dialling out to a US number to work, so I didn\'t try it.

Calling over Wifi using UMA seems not to be supported by any operator here (will need to double check), just as in the US T-mobile supports it but not AT&T (I stand corrected)

BBM is a whole post on its own!!!

Yes there were some great tools and services also deployed. However the excitement of the tournament itself meant we did not blog enough about the cool tech on 233Tech.

Maybe as a \'lookin back at WC 2010\' we\'ll do more

Good to hear. Its also good to see Symbian enthusiats still going strong. I have an old N73 I use to \'play\' with Symbian. Any suggestions for apps?

The iPhone 4 has some really impressive hardware no doubt about it and it has even a die hard BB thinking...

But why does Steve Jobs always do this. Unless you get this phone direct from a carrier where are you to get a micro SIM?

The coolest thing on iPhone 4 for me is Facetime. I know bandwidth in Ghana is an issue but I still love the feature. Using both cameras at the same time to give both parties a feel of what is going on is GENIUS... Hope Apple don\'t patent that....

txtNpay is a good service and their target being the 'ordinary guy' seems to be the winning formula for this type of service. Examples being MPESA in Kenya and others before it in Asia.

Thank You, for Ushahidi and the blog post that inspired me.

Sure, I would be delighted.
