I’ve been working with Nuffnang since 2009 and can honestly say that they have been one of the biggest factors of our online success.  Not only have they opened up new channels of advertising on the MRGADGET.COM.AU website but have also helped provide increased exposure for the site by awarding us with the Best Geek Blog in Asia Pacific in 2009!

If you’re an Australian looking for a way to win a brand new Apple iPad 2, you’ve come to the right website. As mentioned in our competition post, we’re giving away one Apple iPad 2 thanks to iWorld Australia who is Australia’s leading distributor of the best in Apple accessories. So far we have received over 650 entries / comments. It may be a huge amount of entries than what we’re normally used to seeing but the chances of winning an iPad 2 with us is very much a possibility especially when you compare it against the odds of being struck by lightening…hmmm.

It’s funny how we’re giving away a brand new iPad 2 on our website yet I don’t have one myself to review. Last night I sought to fix this by venturing into a place called Mong Kok in Hong Kong to buy one. For those who are aware of the iPad 2′s official release dates, you would know that Hong Kong is not listed as one of the first countries to get them this Friday. Those on sale in Mong Kok are therefore sold at a premium with markups of up to $300-$400 on the higher spec’d model!

It looks polished, professional and manages to capture the joy of opening up a brand new gadget! Well done Zach.

At 7:30am this smoggy drizzly morning in Hong Kong, I attempted to watch Apple’s Keynote on the iPad 2 as I walked towards my first coffee meeting. Seconds into the presentation, I noticed that it was an hour long. It was good to see Steve Jobs up and about sharing Apple’s recent success but in my head I was yelling “Give me the juicy bits!” Scrolling forward, I got what I was after – the iPad 2 specifications. As the iPad 2 banner states above, in summary the iPad 2 is thinner, lighter and faster!
