I took a jaunt down to Waterloo to visit with RIM and check out their latest creations: the BlackBerry Bold 9790 and the BlackBerry Curve 9380. At first glance, they seemed like little more than entry-level rehashes of the OS 7 devices they launched over the summer, but that’s not exactly a bad thing. Following…
Following up on the BlackBerry Bold 9790 hands-on time, I got to try out the new Curve 9380. Of course, it doesn’t look anything like what I would consider a BlackBerry Curve to be (a light, entry-level candybar smartphone with a physical QWERTY keypad), but then again, the last all-touchscreen device from RIM was the…

There are times where the Siri voice-controlled personal assistant really blows my mind and feels like the beginning of a new age in how we interact with all of our computing devices. For real. The simplicity, beauty and polish of it means that it…
The combination of Epic Games’ Unreal Technology and the iOS platform has been a match made in heaven ever since we first caught a glimpse of it through a tech demo app called Epic Citadel, which dropped a jaw or two after its release.

Microsoft is facing some…
I ducked into a Telus store late last week to play around with the recently-launched BlackBerry Curve 9360, and was pleasantly surprised by how slim and tiny the thing was. In the press shots, it looked a little blocky, and vaguely reminiscent of the old 8800 in its proportions, but holding one in person is…
The first thing that leaped into my mind when getting my hands on the BlackBerry Torch 9810 at RIM’s BB7 Fan Night event in Toronto last night was, “Huh, this feels familiar.” I’ve been using its predecessor, the BlackBerry 9800, for almost a year, so all of the exterior hardware, from the slide mechanism, to…
You know, there might be something to this Google+ social networking thing. About a day after the Google+ iPhone app landed, the program has sky-rocketed to the top of the free list in the App Store. With at least 10 million early tech adopters on it, it’s no surprise that the Google+ iPhone app has…
The Motorola Roadster is the best Bluetooth accessory ever sold. The best. It is easy to set up, charge, operate, and, even more impressive, it’s smart. Really smart. Setup The Roadster is the first Bluetooth accessory to kindly explain that it is ready to be paired to my cell phone. Think about all of the…
