Thanks to a tip from Kevin, I went to the Park Royal Mall Future Shop location to check out the renovations that are almost complete. It looks like some Future Shop locations are getting the Apple Store within-a-store treatment: This is part of an expanded deal between Apple and Best Buy (Future Shop’s parent company)…
I was recently offered the chance to test drive Microsoft’s latest version of their ‘wish I was an iPod’ MP3 player, the Zune and I jumped at the chance. Despite what some people may think, I’m not *just* a fan of Apple products. I’m a fan of cool products in general and always like to…
I was going to call this post “It’s been One Week…” but in light of the recent issues Barenaked Ladies frontman, Steven Paige is having, I decided to go for something else instead. I’m not going to do a ‘full’ review since that’s been done to death already. I thought I’d share some of my…
This pretty much sums it up (works best if you use Twitter): (via Sean Osteen on Flickr) Despite being in line at 4am, it still took over 4 hours for me to have a working iPhone 3G after physically getting it due to server issues. I’ll elaborate more on the phone in a future post…
Rogers caved and announced today a new ‘promotional’ iPhone 3g data plan that gives you 6gb of data for $30. That’s as close to unlimited as we’ll get on the iPhone and I’m sure things just got a whole lot more interesting for the launch on Friday. This option is only available to get until…
There seems to be quite a lot of people upset with Rogers and their iPhone voice and data plans. The topic just doesn’t want to die down and major media outlets are all over it. For example, watch a number of local (Vancouver) people that wanted an iPhone talk about why they aren’t getting one…
Rogers updated their iPhone 3G voice and data plan page. Data Usage – Your iPhone will be enabled for data usage. If you subscribe to a plan with no data included, data charges at a pay-per-use rate of 5ยข/KB for data sent and/or received over the Rogers network will apply, unless you subscribe to a…
I’m home now after being in various parts of the Pacific Northwest for the past five days. Here’s the tally of my iPhone usage during that time: A grand total of 82.2mb over 5 days. Multiplied out to a full 30 days (x 6) equals 493.2mb ….I could see using something in the neighbourhood of…
Here’s a thought: Now that Rogers will be bringing the iPhone to Canada, I wonder what will happen when the 2.0 firmware is released (most likely July 11th)? Let’s say you have a first generation iPhone, connected to the presumably newly released version of iTunes (on July 11th) and update the firmware and you’re logged…
In light of today’s news, I’ve had some time to think about the plans that Rogers/Fido are offering for the iPhone. I happened to be heading down to Seattle/Portland for a little vacation and decided to ‘splurge’ and buy the $19.99 unlimited (edge) data addon for my AT&T Pay-as-you-go sim card that I use in…
