Entelligence filed a formal complaint against Google South Africa with the Competition Commission of South Africa on Friday, 29 August 2008, for abuse of dominance in terms of Section S8(d)(i) of the Competition Act 89 of 1998, which prohibits a firm from “requiring or inducing a supplier or customer to not deal with a competitor”.

Shiny Video Review: Philips GoGear SA 2840 MP3 Player

It feels a little light in the hand but the OLED display takes it ahead of the iPod Shuffle, for my money. The only tricky part is that most mobile phones have low end MP3 players now anyway but if yours doesn't, you could do a lot worse than the £39.99 SA 2840.
