Staying Fit – Best Apps for Biking / Exercise

As a self-employed individual, you often have to find ways to stay in shape without the luxury of a gym when you’re just starting out. I have managed to run into this problem myself, so I decided to stay proactive by getting on an exercise program that I can run out of my own house. [...]

Zoompass Tag: My Impression + Field Test

Usually on a Friday, I’d have a Featured Album Friday blog post up, but because I’m apparently hitting the books hard, I haven’t had a minute to really check out new songs – regularly scheduled posts will be back soon time, I promise. Anyway, while in the middle of studying today, I received a registered [...]

WorldCard Mobile (Review)

Welp, I was recently given the chance to try out a great little application called WorldCard Mobile for the iPhone that uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to read pictures of business cards and export the information into an address book entry. Now, I haven’t heard of many applications like this for the iPhone because [...]

Let’s crunch the numbers: $6.95 – System Access Fee 6,451,000 – Approximate number of postpaid subscribers, as of December [...]

To my brand new best friend: Nokia E71

Here’s my official review (More like comparison!) of the Nokia E71 that came in for me today. Summary for the lazy: I am absolutely in love, and it’s an amazing phone! You can read about tech specs and whatever features it has elsewhere, so I’m going to compare it to the Samsung Jack as well [...]

Why not improve the existing infrastructure?

Reading articles like this is rather disheartening. Telecom companies (In North America) are focusing their efforts on rapidly expanding services and capabilities of mobile devices. Can you really blame them? No, but I can say this: stop ignoring the development of the existing infrastructure. Broadband access and speeds in particular have been rather stagnant for [...]

Mobile Data – An Arm and a Leg?

I’m a customer of Rogers Wireless and I have always been deprived of a mobile data plan, and there’s a good reason for it! I found this article while Googling for data plans in Canada. Sure, it was written in April 9th, 2007, so things have had to change since then right? Well, here’s what [...]

Will Google Android fade into mediocrity?

Earlier today, it was announced that Google Android would be going completely open source. A move that will hopefully shake the very foundation of mobile phones world wide… maybe? Taking a look at Google’s track record, they’ve created top notch products which make life on the web much easier. Unfortunately, none of these fantastic products [...]
