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.

I see a possible trend developing here. A little while back I told you about the Berkeley Hotel in London, where an iPad was stocked and waiting in your room. Sure, a night at said hotel with iPad in-tow was expensive as all get-out (£1,850 per night), but it was the first instance of an…
