There could be an easy way to fix this mess up in Canada between Rogers and the outraged potential Apple iPhone 3G customers… force every providers to offer unlimited data plans. Wouldn’t it make sense?
Think about it! The iPhone 3G is all about fast data access rivaling WiFi, new applications download capabilities, push mail/contacts/meetings, geo location. Without an unlimited data plan all this pretty much becomes futile. Who want to worry all the time that the new app they just installed will drain their data plan limit and cost them 10,000$ at the end of the month? This might very well happen if you use an iPhone 3G in Canada. Continue reading Steve, force unlimited data plan on every iPhone provider!
Rogers Canada finally unveiled it’s iPhone 3G plan. It would have better kept it in the garbage can if you ask me! What is it with Canadian cellular phone carier? Are they gouging Canadians or not? I mean, the iPhone 3G is all about fast internet browsing, being connected all the time, staying [...]

I am one of those happy early iPod Touch adopters. I went and bought my unit the day it came in stock at Best Buy. Ever since I have not stopped carrying my iPod Touch all around with me.
The unit, just like the iPhone, is small enough to be carried all day long in my pants front pocket. I carry all my contacts on it, all my calandar events, pictures, music and TV shows. I use it so much that I have left behind my Windows mobile smartphone to switch back to a smaller Nokia flip phone that does a better job of being a phone.
When Apple released the iPod Touch upgrade for $20.00 to bring the applications on par with the iPhone I updated mine the day it went live on iTunes. I was not happy of paying $20.00 especially that new iPod Touch would come bundled with the update soon after…
None the less I have been happy until Apple announced at WWDC 2008 that current iPod Touch owners will be able to upgrade to the version 2 of the OS for $9.99. OK, so how is this going to work exactly? Will Apple allow 1st wave iPod Touch to be upgraded to the 2.0 version for $9.99 even if they have not paid the original $20.00… or will they charge $29.99 for it? Continue reading Is Apple Price Gouging Early iPod Touch Adopters
Tought I would share with you that Joost just released version 1.1.7 of it Windows and OSX client. There is apparently nothing visible at this point with the client.

Paul Yanez is at it again… and this time he just built the best darn media player for Hulu. His creation is named “MyMediaPlayer”. OK, not the best name out there… actually the name is pretty lame, but let forget about that and let focus on all the rest.
MyMediaPlayer is an Adobe Air application. This mean that it will run just fine on OSX, Windows and even Linux… as long as you install the Adobe Air framework and then install Paul’s media player on your system.
The combination of MyMediaPlayer and Hulu web site is what one might expect Joost new web site and standalone player to be.
