For those who are using a 13" unibody MacBook (or any other 13" notebook for that rather), the following laptop sleeve review will be of interest to you. There are so many options out there for sleeves and bags, such as the be.ez LArobe Allure and LEvertigo. Today we're going to take a quick look...

AdMob, a Mobile advertising network recently purchased by Google, has released their “Mobile Metrics Report” for November 2009, which shows some interesting data in the report about the Canadian market for iPhone usage: 50% of the unique iPhone and iPod touch devices that requested at least one ad from AdMob in November 2009 were located in...

At first I thought my iPhone was acting up. But after experiencing multiple dropped calls, intermittent cutting in and out when dialling, and confirmation via twitter (people exploding over this issue), I can finally say Rogers/Fido is experiencing some major network issues! Here is a sampling of some tweets I've received: no fido connection in...

Microsoft was once at the pinnacle of technological innovation, but now they seem to have become stagnant, like your New Year's resolution from last year (what's that? It's almost 2010?!). Microsoft launched their own search engine Bing (way too late) to compete with Google and now it's available for the iPhone. Bing iPhone App Now...

Remember when Amazon launched their Kindle iPhone app? It was only available to Americans. Well that has changed--the Kindle app is now available in Canada!

Well, technically you have less than 24 hours to start saving....

Remember how WIND mobile was given life again by the Federal Government and allowed to launch their new wireless network in Canada? Well, it looks like someone with loose lips has possibly leaked WIND Mobile's monthly plans over at Howard Forums. I've already heard from some of you that WIND has setup stores within Blockbuster...

Looks like the folks at ZAGG are back with another massive promo. Starting Monday, December 14th, ZAGG will start the largest 50% off sale of the year (they recently had a 50% off sale on their ZAGGaudio line)! They will be having a one day 50% OFF one day sale on Monday, December 14th. That's...

At first I thought I was losing my mind. What am I referring to? App Store updates on the iPhone of course! I'm pretty good with keeping up with app updates, as most of the time there are bug fixes and improvements. But lately, the usual reliable process of updating apps on the iPhone has...

Even with having a handful of wireless carriers in Canada that now offer the iPhone, it just seems we can't catch a break. They've got us locked in and locked down. From every angle. And now we have more to add to the list. Bell is apparently swinging the iPhone hammer, and placing some restrictions...

The residents of Kawartha Lakes are in an uproar over four new wireless cell towers being built by Rogers Wireless. The Mayor, Ric McGee, says he’s got no control or say on where the towers will be installed, as that is up to Industry Canada. "I think this is a classic representation of lack of...

Seattle-based "civic software" developer Front Seat has launched City-Go-Round, a Web site that helps visitors find public transit apps for their smartphone or computer.
