When the BlackBerry PlayBook launched sporting some Tron screenshots in the marketing, I had hoped that RIM had scored some sweet promo with the upcoming movie, but it looks like Nokia’s got something better – a cameo of their N8 in the movie, and revealing an exclusive new trailer with lots of new bits that…
Darth Vader has appeared in a quirky ad for NTT Docomo’s launch of the Samsung Galaxy S I9000. I’m sure there’s some kind of logic for this pairing, but it’s completely lost in translation. Still, I can only applaud any reference to Sith Lords, Dark Sides, and any other ancillary dorkery in the wireless world.…
Back in October, we caught a glimpse of President Obama signing an iPad. He did so at a rally in Seattle, Washington… and the crowd was going wild for him, to say the very least. With the maiden ‘iPad signing’ in the books, I was wondering how long it would take for a second signing…
The Black Eyed Peas are playing around with the upcoming BlackBerry PlayBook tablet in their music video for “The Time (Dirty Bit)”. It’s a perfect song for those times you wish you were listening to bastardized oldies in a club full of Lego-people. Although the PlayBook is likely to be a dummy unit with the…
The BlackBerry Bold 9780 is available across Canada, and T-Mobile launched their version just last week.

Google’s choice of making new Android version names that of tasty deserts has really gotten to the little green robot, and we have a video of the little guy on one of its binge streaks. It’s sad to see the little guy this reckless with his eating, but that’s how the cupcake crumbles. Big props…
Notion Ink does a good job by filling us in on the weekends with little tidbits of information of their mythical Android tablet, the Adam. The Notion Ink blog is never lacking weekend details, but this weekend, we hit a mother-load. No, availability of pre-orders have not been announced but many other details are available,…
I think I just found the ideal piece of mobile hardware for my mom. Seriously. Called ‘John’s Phone‘, this clever little mobile device is the simplest thing I’ve seen in years… and I love it. Truly, what you see is what you get with this one. A large numerical keypad along with a ‘hello’ and…
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been excited about RAGE HD ever since id Software debuted it this past August. The game ran at a smooth 60 fps with very little effort by id Software engineers and its graphics looked a lot better than the majority of iOS games that are currently on the…
