I want to take this chance to do a bit of off-topic posting. As I live in Vancouver, it’s hard to not notice all the olympic changes to the city. Of course, changes have been happening constantly for the past several years, but in the past 2 weeks, things have really picked up. Google has [...]

Earlier, I wrote a reaction piece to Apple’s announcement of the iPad. My reaction seemed to parallel many of the opinions out there: It does a few new things in kind of cool ways, but it’s not the revolutionary gizmo Steve Jobs made it out to be. With this article I’d like to add more [...]

Today, Apple officially announced it’s new device – the iPad. The hands-on reviews have yet to come in, but will undoubtedly be on any number of sites soon. What does the iPad mean to Canadian consumers, what is it good for, and what are the communication implications? This article will be divided into two parts: [...]

The most interesting part of the review [...]

Company blogs are such a wonderful thing. In a recent post on the Skype blog summarizing 2009 for the application, it has been announced that a 3G-capable version of the iPhone Skype app is ready and awaiting the Apple go-ahead for deployment. No real word on when that’ll happen, but it’s nice to know Skype [...]

Blogs, forums, people on the street, people on the Wind website. Generally they are all saying the same thing: The Wind plans are great, but the one complaint is the lack of a cheaper data plan. Right now if you want a data plan with Wind you have to go for the $35 unlimited data [...]

Well, Wind Mobile is here, and while people seem generally excited about their plans and service so far, the phone selection leaves a little bit to be desired. So what really is available, what is coming, and what about the iPhone?

Update: Be sure to vote in our Wind data plan poll. I decided to see just how Wind Mobile’s new offerings stacked up against the competition so I spent some time and did a rate comparison. I compared the 4 companies across two metrics: The power user who wants to really use their device, and [...]
