		<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&#8217;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&#8217;t like the native home screens, there are a number of alternatives including SPB Mobile Shell. Don&#8217;t like the native keyboard, there are alternatives to that like Swype and TouchPal. Don&#8217;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&#8217;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[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&#8217;d have to pay for from other providers like Tom Tom for instance. Hello Canadian mappers, Some great news &#8211; 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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;t want you to waste your time. We will also put a big red pop-up on the cartouche [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;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&#8217;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[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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;re comfortable with trying anything new. Let&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MG Siegler wrote an article on Techcrunch titled &#8220;HTC Killed The Physical Keyboard. Smart Move.&#8221; 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&#8217;t. I&#8217;m a big fan of HTC devices, particularly those with keyboards. In fact, I think it&#8217;s the differentiator for me between the iPhone and HTC devices. Reading the article, there are two arguments that stick out in my mind &#8211; the first is the physical versus virtual keyboard argument and the other is the Android versus the iPhone OS argument. The implementation of the G1 was particularly awkward. I hate the lip because it got in the way of the keyboard. HTC has many other devices with keyboards with both slide-out implementations as well as vertical stand-up keyboards. Personally, I liked the physical keyboard implementation of the HTC Tytn 2 but the smooth screen of the HTC Touch Pro. The Tytn 2 keyboard has fewer keys but also larger and much more intuitive to use. It looks like they have brought back the same style of keyboard for the HTC Touch Pro 2. Personally, I have no issues with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Due to personal circumstances, it is going to be a slow blogging week for me as I&#39;ve not been taking transit to work the past week and this trend will continue for another week or so. The one thing I do have to say is that it is pretty amazing to realize how much I miss those train rides to and from work. For me, that time is my personal down time where I get to use it to catch on things that interests me like reading my rss feeds and blogging. While I haven&#39;t had time to read, it doesn&#39;t mean that the week hasn&#39;t been eventful. Here are some of the very brief highlights for me. We&#39;ve actually been working on the iPhone application for a few months now and the code was actually ready probably in late November or so. What we had trouble with was getting approval for an account to publish under. Once we had that, we were good to go. The first iteration of the application is a simplified version of our web application and we have a tonne of ideas that we want to put on over time. For those of you who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There isn&#39;t a day when I don&#39;t realize how dependent I am on my mobile devices. To me, the mobile platform amazes me in much more than just the geekery, it&#39;s an extension of who I am and very much a way of life for me. What makes the mobile device unique is that I can have it with me all the time. I use it not only as a source of information but also as a means to capture information. The majority of my blogs are written from my windows Mobile. It&#39;s a bit ironic but I&#39;m much more comfortable writing a blog from my Tytn II then I am in front of the computer. The availability of high speed internet makes the accessibility of information almost immediate. This was not always the case even 3 years ago. A good example of this paradigm is Google Maps for Mobile. My contact information doesn&#39;t need to be accurate to the minute and even if I don&#39;t have access to email, I can always be reached via SMS. On the other hand, being able to locate my whereabouts or the means to get to a destination requires access to a rich [...]]]></description>
