I was looking at the Google G1 because I still have not bought a new cell phone.
It looks slick and it basically does a lot of what the iPhone and Blackberry can do – it just does it in a different way.

I just had two fabulous weeks of vacation out in the quiet cottage country of Ontario (the Haliburton cottage country) and I cam back refreshed! It is amazing what two weeks of no stress can do to a person.
I came back to work ready to focus on the tasks in front of me. Unfortunately, I [...]
July 11th has come and gone and I don’t have an iPhone. I wanted one and the 6GB for $30 offer really tempted me.

The memo claims that you’ll get unlimited Internet for $30 a month. To me, that is [...]

Yeah.
It is positioned as an innovative way to “cut the cord” - the home phone cord. If you have high speed Internet access at home, Rogers will let you [...]
Well, like a horse rushing out of the starting gate, only to stop dead at the 1/4 mile mark, Rogers has thrown out the carrot on the stick! The Apple iPhone is finally coming to Canada in 2008. End of story … for now!
Wow, what else can you say? Not “Wow” because the [...]
I keep hearing about the great “G3” mobile phone Internet service available in the U.S. I usually just think “huh?” and keep going. But today I decided to look into it a bit. Canada is always way behind the U.S. providers so I wasn’t expecting to find much.
