I love panoramic photos. They have so much information, show you an entire scene rather than just a snip-it of one, and they're surprisingly fun to navigate with a gyroscope enabled device.  360 Panorama by Occipital does just that in an amazingly simple interface. Mixed with their sharing service, it might just be the best...

Apple just released iOS 5 beta 3 on their Developer Center as well as beta 3 versions for iTunes 10.5, Apple TV2, and XCode 4.2 Developer Preview 3. If you have the privilege of being a developer go and check it out. Follow this spot for updates later. What changes have you found?  

Yes, you read that title correctly - you can now charge your iPhone using the Hatsuden-Nabe Pan Charger over a campfire. We've talked about other charging and battery solutions but never a boiling pot of water. [I think it's more of a pot rather than pan, but the website calls it a pan.] A company...

What's a name really all about? I've noticed, you probably have too, that there is some hype over the name of what the newest generation of the iPhone is going to be.

It was only a few days ago that we reviewed Payfirma, a mobile payment system that is similar to the more popular Square but is available for use in Canada.

The latest report from comScore reports a combined 83% of mobile internet traffic in Canada in May for all three devices. The report covers 13 countries over 5 continents. Canadians use their...

Hasso-Plattner-Institut has developed 'Imaginary Phone', a technology that enables users to control their mobile device without actually touching the device! Instead of holding a mobile device, users simply mimic the interaction of using a device on the palm of their hand. The technology works by having users wear a depth camera that sends input events...

A fresh, new app from the aptly named "The App Boutique" for my peeps in Toronto: Next Streetcar. While I personally don't ride the Red Rocket, I know many iPhone riders that do (well...one anyway!) and this app will definitely come in handy. Using the built-in GPS, the app finds your closest TTC streetcar stop...

In an interesting read from our friends at 9to5Mac, Nokia CEO Stephan Elop speaks candidly about Nokia's position in the smartphone market. I won't quote the whole article but at one point Elop comments, "The first iPhone shipped in 2007, and we still don’t have a product that is close to their experience.". They go...

We all know Steve Jobs/Apple are not big fans of the physical CD. The preferred method, of course, is iTunes digital media. But even with iTunes and many other digital media services, the CD still survives...until today!
