		<description><![CDATA[&#160; The other app that I absolutely fell in love with while I was in Hawaii was Google Voice for Android. Google Voice is the re-brand of Grand Central which Google purchased a while ago. What I love about it is that it is such a pragmatic and usable implementation of VOIP and mobile. Google Voice comes with all of the basic VOIP features such as call forwarding, dedicated phone number, cheap long distance and voice mail that can be forwarded to your email. It also comes with other premium features such as the ability to send SMS and transcribing voice mail to text. All for the whopping price of free. &#160; What makes Google Voice, however is how it's implemented. Google Voice gives you the option to override your current phone number. For instance, I have a Boston area code as my Google Voice number. When I was in Hawaii, my Google Voice number would be forwarded to the Hawaii number. When I call out from my phone, it shows my Boston number. The reason why this is great is because I typically get a new SIM card on most of my trips to the US. This allows me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After months of waiting, Google Navigation finally comes to Canada. I was lucky enough to have been able to play with it in my trip to Hawai earlier this year and have to say that I fell in love with it. I first dabbled with navigation on the Android with first MotoNav which I found quite confusing and CoPilot which I found better. After all the hype with Google navigation, I couldn't help but be tempted to try it out. The way I use Google Navigation is really an extension of Google Maps. In fact, that's how I typically start my search. I typically try finding the location by address or by name. Once the location is found, one of the options on any point is "Navigate" Things I like about Google Navigation: Simple interface. As per Google's trademark design, the interface is to the point. You have very limited options to what you can do with the screen that doesn't deal with navigating to a point. If it can't pinpoint your location via GPS, it keeps you in the route view which then allows you to figure out where you are visually. Close integration with Google Maps. Let's face [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always been a huge fan of Windows Mobile and at the heart of it, Windows Phone 7 really is Windows Mobile in spirit; it is a platform that is meant for consumer small devices. Microsoft's strategy has always been targeted at the business community and hence they have always seen their main competitor as RIM. Apple came out of left field and proved that there was a market for non-professionals and both Microsoft and RIM were both left stunned. Google has snuck into the market in the past two years and has quickly gained around 3.5% share of the mobile market. In my opinion, Windows Mobile has always been a superior OS technically in comparison to the iPhone. I cannot think of any feature outside of specific gestures that are not available on Windows Mobile. The core of its strength is that it is a true OS with less limitations than the iPhone. Unlike the iPhone, most problems are solveable by a developer. Don't like the native home screens, there are a number of alternatives including SPB Mobile Shell. Don't like the native keyboard, there are alternatives to that like Swype and TouchPal. Don't like the browser, there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a pretty known fact that I LOVE the Windows Mobile platform and consider it the best mobile platform purely from a technology standpoint. However, when I joined Canpages in November, I was given the opportunity to purchase any phone that was available by Rogers. Given that I owned both HTC Android phones and Rogers did not carry any Windows Mobile phones that was worth acquiring, the only real choice left really was to get a 16GB iPhone 3GS. I approached that decision with a lot of mixed feelings. In my initial use of the iPod Touch, I really disliked the experience. However, I only used it for a few hours at a time, I was willing to give it another try. Here are some of my thoughts after almost 4 months of use. iPod application is fantastic I haven't tried the Zune yet but I have to say that the iPod is a fantastic music player and the integration to iTunes is quite seamless. I love the fact that it can carry a copy of my favourite music with me any time I want. Multi-calendar support I like that you can synchronize multiple Google Mail calendars to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The one thing that I have really enjoyed about my experience about working at Canpages is that they have been very focused on giving their employees the right equipment to to do their jobs. As soon as Telus announced that they launched the Motorola Milestone which is the GSM version of the Droid, I got my hands on one within the week. Part of the reason why I wanted to get the Milestone was because it was touted to be the iPhone killer. Realistically speaking, there will be no such thing in 2010 or even 2011. The iPhone will be here for a while. For me, it will be more of the quest to replace my HTC Fuze. My one day's worth of playing with the Milestone has been mixed but it's trending positively. I will write more in subsequent entries.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was quite excited to receive this email from Waze yesterday. Waze has been one of my favorite mobile apps of late. My major complaint was of course that there were very no Canadian maps available. With new Canadian maps, this could very well be a killer navigation tool while still providing real time information that you'd have to pay for from other providers like Tom Tom for instance. Hello Canadian mappers, Some great news - we have acquired a base map for all of Canada (thank you Canadian government!) and we will start loading them to the cartouche. While this change is great, we realize this brings a few concerns to all the hard work you've put into creating the waze maps so far, so we wanted to explain how this process will be carried out which is why we're sending this email. Before we start, you should know that you can take a break for the next 2 days. Any changes made after we start the process will not make it to the final version of the map, and we don't want you to waste your time. We will also put a big red pop-up on the cartouche [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I've been addicted to a pretty neat application called Waze. It brands itself as a social navigation app and has apps for the iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian. I actually played with both the iPhone and Windows Mobile app and both work pretty decently. The app is pretty addictive. You essentially get points for numerous activities such as simply driving around, sharing event such as speed trap, recording new roads and yes, even editing the map. The mobile app works like it's supposed to although I surprisingly had more problems connecting to the GPS with the iPhone than I did with the Windows Mobile which is quite rare. The web application is simplistic. You have a dashboard that shows you your previous trips and then you can choose to click them to view those trips. You could also choose to use those trips to enhance a current map by filling out roads that are missing and so on. I like the idea of editing my maps but I find the experience quite frustrating at times. Hopefully over time, they will continue to improve on it. The mobile app also integrates with both Twitter and foursquare. Although maps are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are some benefits in being a funded start-up by Rogers and that is access to wireless technology and infrastructure. When the Magic and Dream were first announced, I sent a quick message to both our internal executives and was quite pleasantly surprised when I was handed an unopened Dream for us to look into developing an Android app. I had previously picked up a Magic because frankly at $150, it's hard to go wrong. The HTC Dream is the same phone as the T-Mobile G1 that was released last year with some changes to the antenna as HSUPA/HSPDA run on a different frequency than the US. I did not know this and was an interesting tidbit to find out. I remember looking at the T-Mobile G1 and wondering how comfortable it would be to have something protruding while typing. After using it for close to a week, I found that part really intrusive. It was quite difficult to use as it made for very awkward typing over a period of time. One nice thing about it is that it gave easy access to the rollerball which came in handy at times. Overall though, I found the performance on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 solid operating system. Rogers, Canada's only GSM provider, launched both the HTC Magic and HTC Dream a few weeks ago and I finally bit the bullet to pick up an Android device for myself.Playing with the Android, Google seems to be taking a hybrid approach and picking up the best and worst of what has been done on the iPhone and Windows Mobile platforms to date. The Android's native home screen looks like the iPhone. It breaks it up into 3 panels and you can add more apps by swiping up the menu screen from the bottom and adding them to any of the home panels. An additional thing you can do is to add widgets to the home panel which is useful. The panels are finger friendly where you can swipe up (to see all the apps you have installed), down (sees all the system [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 in general are a bunch of technophiles. We've long been exposed to computers even in our early childhood which is rare from a generation perspective and from the fact that we were born in a third-world country. We're comfortable with trying anything new. Let's just say that even at my age, I get tech hand-me-downs from my dad and not the other way around. In fact, Papa Kang is totally comfortable with the idea of having a PS3 as a mumtimedia centre because it's cheaper than to build one. The exception to that rule is my mum. For the most part, mum is more than happy to hand off anything remotely technical to my dad.Off late, I've been getting Mama Kang to use Twitter more. Not because she wants to but because it makes life easier for the rest of the family. [...]]]></description>
