iTunes Canada: Great Canadian Apps Section

Canadians love their iDevices. The iPhone 4 launched at the end of July and people are STILL lining up overnight to get their hands on one. Extreme shortages + a “must have” Apple device usually results in people going to the extreme.

Canadians also love Canadian iPhone apps. Apple has recognized this and in iTunes Canada, there is now a section titled Great Canadian Apps. If you’re looking for notable Canadian apps (29 apps total)–this section has them all. If you’re a Canadian iPhone developer–you either want to get listed in this section, or on iPhoneinCanada.ca (contact us!).

We’ve reviewed the following 14 apps in the list: ScoreMobile, NFB Films, CBC Radio, Corus Radio, CBC Hockey, The Globe and Mail, CIBC, TD, Canadian YellowPages, Toronto Eaton Centre, TSN Mobile, Air Canada, TimmyMe, myStarbucks Canada

Check out the screenshots below:

Yay for Corus Radio app! My favoritest local radio station just happens to be owned by Corus… And you don’t have to be a bloody rogers sub to listen to it. (much like the rogers radio all).

No offense to Rogers Subs.. You’re not all bloody 😛

Oh, also I’ve been using the YellowPages.Ca app for about three years or so, I think.. There was a Blackberry version I used before moving to the iPhone. Very handy. I haven’t used a phone book in years.

The scotia bank app is a joke and should be off the list, why they still haven’t let users do online banking and everything else you can do with the TD and CIBC apps is beyond me. Just major laziness on their part and a rude awakening for their customers. I would have left them years ago if it wasn’t for my Scene card.

Rogers Radio is proprietary. Only works if you’re a Rogers Sub.. That to me is a big red F on the review page.
