The day after I wrote my last iPhone post, I received an email from the PR company working with Rogers Mobile (MS&L Digital) on the pricing plans:
Hello, My name is Nicole Burguess and I’m writing on behalf of Rogers to give you some additional information about the Rogers rate plans available […]

Since Rogers Mobile announced their iPhone pricing this week, the reaction to their plans has been less that enthusiastic (to say the least).
RuinediPhone.com has started an online petition to Rogers to change their rate plans and an open letter to Steve Jobs on what is certainly a slap in the face.
Did I sign it? You […]

When I was in Vancouver this week I was having lunch with Rebecca “Miss604” Bollwitt and Colleen Coplick and saw an iPhone ad in the Rogers store across the street. Yep, the marketing push is in full swing. Only problem is that until today we didn’t know what the plans would be like.

I’ve been using, and loving, Tungle for a while. Most often I’m the one booking meetings so, I don’t see the invites, but if I got one on the go … when I’m on my Berry, what would I do? Until today I’d have to wait until I got back to my machine an hit […]

One of Rick Segal’s favourite examples about new business ideas is a Blackberry app that would know when you’re in a meeting and silence the alerts and such. No wonder then that he’d be involved in a startup fund for new Blackberry software:
VentureBeat decided to jump the gun this weekend and post some news that […]

I blogged about my new Telus EVDO card this morning, I’ve been using it all day and been very much enjoying it. Okay I think I’ve found a conflict with my built-in SD card reader and the PCMCIA slot, but that might be an Acer thing and I’m not too worried right now. However, what […]

One of the challenges of a mobile worker is connectivity when you’re not at home. Sure at home I have a higher-than-average cable internet connection, but when I go on the road, even to a friend’s house that’s a different story. Looking for WiFi can be a pain, even when it’s offered by a cafe […]
