This review is about Android, the operating system, and not about any particular handset. I remember the first time I got my hands on the Android when @elusivejackal picked up a development unit late last year. I played with it for about 30 minutes and left with the feeling that it was a really soli... [More]

Mama Kang seems to be inspiring a lot of my blog entries lately. As a was writing my previous blog entry, I came to a really personal realization and there's no other way to describe it as an Apple moment three years too late. First off, let me describe Mama Kang a little bit more. The Kang family i... [More]

It's true what they say - it's hard to miss what you never had. For the longest time, Canada was bereft of Twitter over SMS. I never once thought about it impacting me since in my mind, I would always use an app like PockeTwit or Twikini. Even after my carrier got the ability to use Twitter over SMS... [More]

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my phone OS to Windows Mobile 6.5 and my initial reaction is more phew than anything else. Upgrading to a non-official ROM always comes with tonnes of risk. One major by product of upgrading to this particular ROM is that my favourite WinMo Twitter app doesn't w... [More]

One of the most frustrating conversations to have is the one where it starts off as "Windows Mobile sucks" or "iPhone sucks" because most people don't really spend the time to understand the smartphone. Hopefully this post will help people in two areas - better understanding of the device and help t... [More]

I wanted to quickly write a quick blog to thank everyone who sponsored me for the Ride for Heart. While I didn't meet my goal, I did raise a decent amount of money for a cause that I think is fairly important. Ultimately, this really is a precursor to another ride that I'm very passionate about whic... [More]

I really wished I got around to writing about Tasting Tour sooner. I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Beta 2 version of the concept last week and it was something I thoroughly enjoyed. The concept of Tasting Tour is the brainchild of Jaime Woo and Naomi The. Jaime led the tour I was on and ... [More]

MG Siegler wrote an article on Techcrunch titled "HTC Killed The Physical Keyboard. Smart Move." The article quickly caught my interest because I naturally wanted to see if HTC was killing all physical keyboards for their devices. Fortunately, it wasn't. I'm a big fan of HTC devices, particularly th... [More]

One of the things that I love about PockeTwit is that it is in constant development. One downside is that it is hard to know when is a good time to blog about it. Even though other good apps like Twikini have been launched since I last blogged, I still find myself going back to PockeTwit all the tim... [More]

I can't believe it's Friday already and it's time to crank out another Follow Friday post. It's been a surprisingly busy week and I've not had much chance to blog or tweet of late. I'm hoping that Follow Fridays aren't the only posts I do in May =D. So my theme for this weeks Follow Friday is Tweeps... [More]
