Almost a month ago, I posted my predictions for the next version of the iPhone. Let’s see how I did: Prediction #1: Details about the iPhone release in Canada will be announced on June 9th Steve Jobs himself will announce them during the WWDC Keynote as he reveals the next iteration of the iPhone (version…
One thing I didn’t touch on in my earlier posts about the WWDC Keynote today was the App Store and the addition of the Enterprise features to the iPhone. First the App Store. This is something that’s been in the works for awhile and is shaping up to be a very important part of Apple’s…
Today, during Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco, Steve Jobs announced the new 3G iPhone. It’s going to be available in Canada from Rogers and Fido on July 11th.

The Montreal Gazette is reporting that as part of a class action lawsuit regarding poor battery performance, Apple will be giving Canadian owners of 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation iPods a $45 credit to the Apple Store. Details of how this will be disbursed haven’t been released yet but keep an eye on this page…
Beginning tomorrow, Rogers will begin offering the Nokia N95 8gb smartphone to Canadians. This is interesting to me for a couple of reasons. First of all, it’s the first time in North America that this model phone is offered – previously only available unlocked directly from Nokia. As I mentioned previously in my post about…
