We knew the Nokia N97 Mini was coming to Rogers, the only question was WHEN. Sometime in May was the first I had heard, however June or July seemed like a more reasonable guess… But if you guessed early June, it looks like you were spot-on. Rogers has sent out a product launch flyer (pictured…

Dragon for Email Updated with BlackBerry Tour Support
I’ve touched on Dragon for Email before. In fact, it came out back in April for BlackBerry, and since then I’ve heard quite a few colleagues remark about how much they enjoy the app. Overall, initial impressions were chalked-full of kudos all around, however, folks packing a BlackBerry Tour were always miffed. Dragon for Email…

Video: Nexus One hacked to support 720p video recording
The best Android device on the market right now, and this is debatable, but many are saying it’s the Sprint EVO 4G. Frankly, you’d have to pay me to use one since it’s beyond massive. It’s colossal. That and the battery life stinks, and this coming from reviewers who have been using a Nexus One…
Google Navigation works in 11 new countries, including Canada and Western Europe
Google Navigation is awesome. There’s no other way to put it. If you have a friend with a Nexus One or a Motorola Droid, or that new Sprint EVO 4G, then have them give you a demo. I’m furious, beyond livid, that I don’t have that application anymore since I’m in Finland. When I was…
Brief: Google Search by Voice now works in French, German, Italian, and Spanish
Google Voice Search’s ability to transcribe what you say after you tap the little microphone icon on your home screen and speak for several seconds, is beyond a shadow of a doubt one of the coolest abilities of Android.
