It’s about time. Unfortunately no details other than it’s coming ‘before the end of the year’. The big questions to me are: How much for the phone itself in Canada? what does the data and voice plans look like? They better resemble the US pricing How long do we have to lock in? Rogers seems…
Okay, not really at all but I couldn’t think of a better title. While I was lounging on the beach in Hawaii recently, two separate articles in which I was interviewed for appeared online (and possibly in dead tree form too – I actually don’t know). The first one was for the UBC Thunderbird Newspaper…
I really wanted to do a proper, long and detailed wrapup post for SXSWi but I’m not going to because there was just so much going on and it’s still digesting in my mind what transpired in Austin. That and I’m really tired due to a day at the airport, flight delays and BBQ withdrawal….
A few of us have been noticing that there hasn’t been as much chatter on the internet about Northern Voice during or immediately following the event. As well, the page views on Flickr seemed to be a lot lower than last year. Personally, I think it’s just that everyone hasn’t fully had a chance for…
I’m at UBC this weekend attending the Northern Voice conference. Last night was the opening party/dinner at the Waldorf Hotel: I’ll be taking photos all weekend and I’ll be posting intermittently. As usual, Rebecca’s got the live blog going on. You can watch my flickr stream or all the photos tagged by the other attendees.
I headed downtown tonight to check out Third Tuesday Vancouver at the Network Hub. Jeff Young was the guest tonight speaking about many topics and their legal implications online. There was a lot of interesting discussion about copyright versus trademark, what aspects of a design can be legally owned, and the legal rights of bloggers…
In a shocking move that is both good and bad at the same time, Rogers has apparently changed their data plans. Bad because it’s still woefully overpriced compared to the rest of the planet but good because now instead of raping you in overages if you go beyond your data allotment, they now just bump…
The internets are all abuzz with news (and video proof) that the latest firmware for the iPhone (and Touch as seen in the video) has been jailbroken…but the method hasn’t been released yet. Nor will it until after the forthcoming software developers kit (SDK for those in the know) is released in late February from…
…using a StealthSIM: A friend purchased an iPhone as a Christmas present for someone but since it was the 1.1.2 version firmware (purchased from an Apple store in early December), it couldn’t be unlocked via (currently available) software methods. So that someone got a really nice iPod under the tree. It was decided shortly after…
I get asked multiple times a day about getting an iPhone and using it in Canada. It was always fun to help friends unlock their iPhones. Until now. Ever since the 1.1.2 firmware made it’s appearance (around build week 45 for those keeping score), there hasn’t been a working software unlock for these phones. You…
