Received a nice little note from the folks at SHAPE Services the other day. The note was to let me know that an updated version of IM+ is available for webOS. The new version brings the app up to 1.0.2, and is available in the Palm Catalog in the US, Mexico, Ireland, Great Britain, France,…

Review: Hands-On with the TELUS Motorola Mike Brute i680
Some time ago TELUS shipped me one of their Motorola Mike Brute i680 devices. It’s a ruggedized device that is Military Spec certified against things like rain, shock, salt, fog and more, this bad-boy is indeed, a BRUTE.

Rogers to Offer iPad Price Plans from end of May
My fellow Canadians, the last we heard the iPad would be launching in our fair country the weekend of April 24th. At this point, I have no reason to believe otherwise. Apple employees have been asked to NOT book work off that weekend, AND, the date does fall in ‘late April’, per Apple’s initial tease.…

Unlocking the Secret Behind Apple’s Recurring Numbers
Not sure if you’ve noticed this before, but for some reason, Apple likes to plop a 9:40-ish time on their products in ALL of their product shots (and launch presentations). Ever notice that? On the iPad, it was 9:41. On the iPhone and iPod Touch 9:42 was the time marked on the device. Don’t believe…
