One of the nice features of the iPhone 4 is the ability to take HDR pictures.  HDR - High Dynamic Range Imaging - allows for more dynamic range of luminance between the lightest and darkest areas of an image. In the simplest of terms, you take a picture with several different exposures, combine them, and...

Today Apple announced their 2010 Q4 fiscal earnings via their regular conference call. The results of their most recent quarter are staggering. Here's a breakdown of their financial numbers: Record revenue of $20.34 billion (year ago quarter: $12.21 billion) Net quarterly profit: $4.31 billion (year ago quater: $2.53 billion) International sales accounted for 57% of...

When it comes to owning a cell phone in Canada, we have lots of "choice". When I mention choice, I'm talking about the 'Big 3' carriers offering plans that are pretty much identical. Just take a look at iPhone 4 voice and data plans as an example. Don't forget their low-cost brands that are out...

If you manage a variety of social media accounts, then you should be using Hootsuite. It's an amazing service that's free on the web and currently their $2.99 iPhone app (read our review here) is FREE for download! The team behind Hootsuite is Canadian and based in Vancouver. They work hard to provide constant updates...

The Chronic Dev Team has just released a Mac version of their greenpois0n jailbreak tool for iOS 4.1 devices. The team was undermined by Geohot's sudden emergence with the limera1n jailbreak. You can now download greenpois0n for Mac, Linux, and Windows. PwnageTool is coming tomorrow, for all those people looking to update to iOS 4.1...

So yesterday I finally got my new iPhone and naturally, I got straight to downloading a whack-load of apps, many of them sports focused and one of them was NHL Gamecenter 2010. With the season still in it's infancy, I thought a review would be prudent. I didn't actually set out to download it since...

On October 1st, Matt Rix (@MattRix) sent a message on twitter to @iPhoneinCanada asking to have a look at his Canadian made Trainyard Express. I was expecting someone else to review it before I did, but it just looks like I got to do it afterall! This is a puzzle game like none I had...

If you've been into the 'jailbreaking' scene you probably heard about Geohot's limera1n release for PC. His tool circumvented the announcement made by the Chronic Dev Team to release their greenpois0n tool, which contained a different exploit. Eventually, the CDT released their tool with Geohot's exploit. If you're waiting for PwnageTool, it's coming Sunday. Click...

There's a new tweak in Cydia that will allow you to bring an animated clock icon to your homescreen. The tweak is called LiveClock and it's free. Essentially your stock clock icon will now act like a wall clock and display the actual time (moving seconds hand too), instead of a frozen clock image. This...

I've always been a fan of getting cases for my various Apple products.  My MacBook Pro has an Incase sleeve, I use the Apple iPad case with my iPad, but I've still yet to find the perfect iPhone 4 case.  I have been using the Bumper that I got from the Apple Case Program, and have...

Some have criticized Apple for leaving OS X behind while rapidly improving iOS over these past few years. But not to fear, Apple is going "Back To Mac" with a press event one week from now. I wouldn't be totally surprised if we see something regarding the iOS platform but this is very likely going...

Good news for us Canadians who have yet to order (or receive) their new iPhone 4. A quick visit to the Apple Canadian online store shows that iPhone 4 shipping estimates have been improved to 2 weeks from 3 on both the 16GB and 32GB models. And yes, still no White iPhone (seriously, why bother...
