Some of you may have heard of Call of Duty: Black Ops, a first-person shooter video game that has broken records across a number of entertainment sectors by selling $650 million-worth of units in the first five days of release alone. I’ve been slowly but steadily losing my soul to the game on PC, and…
Maybe I’m not looking hard enough, but generally I’m not too impressed with the Cyber Monday sales that are available. The discounts seem so insignificant, and in some cases, completely non-existent. Telus, however, is going all-out and offering some really good deals today. LG IQ – $0 with a 1-year contract Nokia E71 in red…
A neat concept for a BlackBerry phone called Empathy has been cooked up by designer Daniel Yoon, focusing on sharing our mood with friends. It’s a bit of a throwback to the early LiveJournal and MySpace days, which were all about updating mood statuses, but there are some interesting twists on old ideas here. The…
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…

Some murky rumours are floating out from China suggesting that the next iPad will be lighter, thinner, have two cameras, and a three-axis gyroscope for gaming. This jives well with earlier analyst reports, but we still have yet to see any hard evidence, so take it all with a grain of salt. The source of…
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.…
Black Friday is upon us and so are the savings (and rabid mobs, for that matter). This year, Sprint wants everyone to know that they’ll have Android handsets available for all your Black Friday shopping needs. And, since many of you will be out there braving the crowds anyway, we thought it was a good…
A tipster has suggested that much-anticipated PlayStation phone will be launching this February for around $500 off-contract, and coming with five free games. The same tipster said the Sony Ericsson implemented some “mind-blowing” Bravia display technology handed down from its parent company, and has some of “the best gaming [the tipster] ever had on a…
Apparently Apple’s approval system for iPhone applications likens single-station radio programs to fart apps, now. Developer DJBApps had attempted to submit 10 apps to the App Store and had them all rejected, being cited secion 2.20 of the developer agreement: “Developers ‘spamming’ the App Store with many versions of similar apps will be removed from…
