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...

There has been lots of talk about the iPhone becoming an iWallet for some time now but a European patent that surfaced last week and was revealed by Patently Apple yesterday takes the rumours to the next level. Not only does the patent application detail how RFID circuitry and antenna would be ingenuously embedded within the...

Last Monday, the Canadian company Research in Motion (RIM) announced their new iPad competitor, the Playbook.  While no firm dates or pricing information has been released, there has been a lot of early interest in this new device.  Later this month, Microsoft will be introducing the Windows Phone 7 OS that looks to be a...

Apple TV units have started to arrive this week. You saw our latest Apple TV unboxing post. There was word before that Apple TV runs iOS and that the latest SHAtter exploit could indeed jailbreak the device. Well, history has been made as iPhone Dev Team member, Musclenerd has successfully jailbroken the new Apple TV....

This week, Bell Mobility is attempting the almost impossible. The Canadian wireless company has a new offer for a "refreshed" 8GB iPhone that is $9.95 and that comes with a free Apple Dock ($35 value) on a 3-year voice and data agreement. The iPhone in question is the iPhone 3G. This is obviously an attempt...

Back in April 2010, just before the launch of the Apple iPad in the USA, a reference to a new iPhone was found within the iPad firmware. At the time, the mystery references were: iPhone3,1 iPhone3,2 iPhone3,3 Well, 'iPhone3,1' became the iPhone 4 but the other two were never really revealed. This week however, the...

Some very interesting news has been confirmed for those people who have ordered the new Apple TV. It has been confirmed that Apple TV does indeed run iOS 4.1 (and support Netflix Canada!). How? iPhone developer chpwn posted a link to download the firmware from Apple! This firmware isn't useful for anyone yet, but turns...

About a week ago, there was this dramatic/possibly fake episode about Apple CEO Steve Jobs going to Japan, picking up some ninja throwing stars (Shuriken), and then being denied boarding his own jet due to the Japanese airport policy regarding weapons. Well, that came and went but what stuck in people's minds was why on...

With Google's Android OS taking on Apple's iOS, could we see the introduction of a third smartphone OS to compete with the big boys? Microsoft has been working on their Windows Phone 7 OS for the longest time. And when I say longest time, I mean it has been delayed many times. That has changed...

With yesterday's announcement of Netflix Canada, there were some questions about integration with the latest Apple TV. The Netflix Canada website makes no mention of support for Apple TV. However, Apple.ca has recently been updated to include mention of Netflix on the Apple TV portion of the website. Check out the images below from Apple.ca:...

When Apple launched their 'new' Apple TV at their iPod Event, the revised price tag caught my eye. At $119 CDN ($99US), that price point fits into the "impulse buy" category. Do I need Apple TV? I don't know yet, although for AirPlay, I just might. But for the same price as a pair of...

The new fourth generation iPod Touch debuted with the Retina Display and 720p video recording capabilities. The iPod Touch is like an iPhone without the phone, GPS, and 5mp camera. Obviously Apple could not include all of those features and keep pricing the same for the iPod Touch line up. That's wishful thinking. The blog letemsvetemapplem.eu...
