Here’s an interesting quickie for all of the Pre and Pixi users out there. If you’ve ever wondered how long the lag is between Palm submitting a firmware update to a carrier, and the actual firmware update going live, wonder no longer. Thanks to one Rod Whitby (founder of the webOS Internals Group), we can…
Rogers BlackBerry Pearl 3G (9100) Now Available via Best Buy
While I’ve got the new Pearl 3G on-the-brain, might as well continue with the topic. While all of the major carriers in Canada are going to pack the 9100 on their shelves (I’m talking TELUS, Bell, Rogers, heck, even Virgin Mobile), availability is somewhat up in the air. As often times happens, a third party…
T-Mobile: To Pearl 3G or Not to Pearl 3G, That is the Question
Some interesting developments on the Pearl 3G came to light recently. While all major carriers in Canada have confirmed they will pack the 9100, carriers in the United States haven’t been as forthcoming with their plans.

White BlackBerry Bold 9700 Now Available on Rogers’ Website
Yesterday I surmised it wouldn’t be long before the BlackBerry Bold 9700 in WHITE showed up on the Rogers website. The device had already gone live at Best Buy and Future Shop… isn’t it odd how the actual device carrier is often the LAST to promote and put-up the darn thing? At any rate, this…

Bell to Launch Samsung Wave with bada OS This Summer
Looks like another device is rumored to hit Bell shortly. Last week I told you all about the HTC Legend, gave you some specs, and even hit upon the launch party Bell has setup. The Legend looks cool for sure, and will catch the eye of current HTC Hero users, as the Legend is certainly…
Geeky Cool: iPad Used to Run Animation on Apple //e
Here’s a fun one for the Apple geeks in the crowd. Take this in. One Stewart Smith came to know that the good folks over at Panic Software (the makers of my favorite Mac FTP program, Transmit) had an old Apple //e sitting all alone in their office. This was of interest to him, because…
Verizon Cranking Out Fathers’ Day Promos Already
Verizon is already starting with the Fathers’ Day offers. Can’t blame them. It’s always good to get an early jump on shopping, no matter the occasion. In an email I received last night, VZW details a Samsung Reality BOGO (buy one, get one free) offer. Buy one Samsung Reality, and you’ll get another for free…
OS 5.0.0.681 Leaked for the BlackBerry Bold 9000
