A few days ago I got a tip, admittedly from the creator of the product, about a new app in the Android Marketplace, called TubeMote. Not a new idea -the ability to control your computer with your smartphone has been done to death, from iTunes remotes to other YouTube remote products. But the one thing [...]

It has been almost 2 months since the dummies first arrived at Rogers, but the day has finally arrived. Rogers is set to launch HP’s Palm Pre 2 on Canadian soil today. Will it do well in a market heavily dominated by the standout favorites? Only time will tell. But launching just in time for [...]

In 2008 Nokia introduced the option with their E-Series Symbian phones E66 and E71 the ability to have 2 completely separate home screens with different shortcuts for Personal & Work and easy switching between them.

Just wanted to let you know that Rogers will be carrying it. No additional details now, but I’ll [...]

Since WES 2010 and the official announcement of the BlackBerry 6, there has been much speculation as to which devices will be released with the OS and more importantly, which current devices will get the upgrade. RIM has been very tight-lipped about the situation, only releasing a video of BlackBerry 6 running on a Storm touchscreen device. [...]

I guess Rogers Wireless still has a soft spot for the aging OS we know as Symbian. Despite lackluster sales of the Nokia N95, N96 and E71, Mobile Syrup is reporting that Rogers may be picking up the N97 Mini for a May release. No exact details on price, date or color were provided, but [...]

What was once “Windows Mobile” then “Windows Phone 7 Series”, is now settled at “Windows Phone 7″ for the newly reinvigorated OS (that has still yet to officially launch). No word yet on the effect this re-branding will have, if any, on their ongoing marketing strategy and eventual rollout of the platform. But with all [...]
