July 2010

A few days ago, the iPhone Dev Team posted a notice that an iPhone 4 unlock was almost done. At the time, we had hoped there would be a successful unlock by the time the iPhone 4 hits Canada, but the unlock has come even sooner! Today, the amazing Dev Team announced that it has...

Early iPhone 4 users in the USA reported reception issues immediately with their new phones. The issue was that touching the lower left part of the antenna resulted in dropped signals and eventually a full signal loss. People were getting frustrated and angry. Apple kept quiet, aside from a Steve Jobs email that told people...

I learned about this app, via word of mouth, from a friend who worked on it. I find more useful and fun apps that way, rather than digging around the App Store, through the tonnes of new apps that are released daily. Edwin the Foreteller, from developer Speaktoit, is basically a new twist on the...

As we close on the end of July, we have seen some increased activity by the way of the Canadian wireless carriers. Within a few days of the iPhone 4 reveal, each wireless carrier indicated that they would be carrying the iPhone 4 in Canada. Soon after, product/notification pages started to appear where users could...

With the iPhone 4 set to launch sometime by the end of July, the anticipation for the device has been growing. When Apple announced the iPhone 4, the Canadian Apple website offered users a "Notify Me" service where Apple sends out periodic emails on matters related to iPhone 4. After Apple, Rogers/Fido started their own...

Tech nerds, like myself, have so many devices and gadgets that need charing nowadays, it's getting ridiculous. I have so many chargers, docks, and cables around my house, and I'm always on the look out for a new way to minimize all out that and combine as many of them as I can. Konnet has...

Well, Geohot has done it again, although with a lot less enthusiasm, this time. Geohot (aka George Hotz) was the original iPhone unlocker and was all over mainstream media, for being able to hack the original iPhone to run on T-Mobile, instead of AT&T. Back then it was a pretty messy hardware hack that had...

One of the disadvantages to charging your devices, such as an iPhone, is that you typically have to tether the device to a cord, limiting the use of the device and having to fumble with cables. To improve this, in the last few years the idea of wireless charging has been introduced and while we...

We previously reported that Apple will be launching the iPhone 4 in Canada on July 23rd, as this rumoured date is when employees were not allowed to book time off. Some new developments have emerged. Our tipster has updated us that employees who had originally been denied a day off on the 23rd have now...

Sometimes I read Source Code for fun. Today I was doing just that on the Rogers iPhone 4 site and came across quite a find. Rogers must be getting ready to announce the upgrade policies for the new iPhone as their site already has all the source code to check your upgrade eligibility. Now, I'm...

By now you've probably heard of ZAGG, the company behind the popular invisibleSHIELD protective skins. I've used the invisibleSHIELD for my iPhone, iPhone 3G, and my current iPhone 3GS (and my MacBook and iPad!). I have my iPhone 4 invisibleSHIELDS on the way. ZAGG also makes other accessories too, and one of the most highly...

As we posted on our sister site iPadinCanada.ca, YouTube has made a significant upgrade to the mobile version of their site. If you visit m.youtube.com on your iPhone, you'll notice an entirely new layout. Here's what the Google Mobile Team had to say: Here's what's new about the new mobile site: * It's really fast....
