“Yak” has many connotations - some more positive than others. What yak mobile will mean to Canadians this time next year when they go to market nationally (minus Quebec) has equally as many possible implications for consumers and the mobile market. CEO Tony Lacavera of Globalive Communications Corp. (who own yak) presented an overview of their vision and market strategy this week at Mobile Monday. Here are some highlights and what they may mean to ...

Filed under: Handsets, HTC, Rogers Wireless, Windows Mobile, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA Not that you can't snag an HTC Touch Diamond in Canada right now, but those loyal to Rogers are still waiting. As of this moment, we still can't locate the WinMo 6.1-based handset on the outfit's website, but MobileSyrup has it that the phone will soon be released for as low as $199.99 on a 3-year contract (with a minimum $45 voice / data ...

Word on the street is that people have suddenly (and rather unexpectedly) started to be able to buy the Curve 8900 on Rogers for $179.99 on a three-year contract with support for the carrier's Talkspot UMA service. Why this wasn't heavily advertised leading up to the release, we don't know -- folks seem to be red-hot for this release -- but at any rate, you should be able to stroll into your local shop in ...

Forgive us for being sparse with the details, but it appears that Rogers has just launched the BlackBerry Curve 8900. Soon Canadians will be able to exchange a cool $179.99 and 3-years of their life (with voice and data) to have the latest UMA-enabled BlackBerry. We’ve been told that those who don’t want a 3-year commitment will be able to get the 8900 for $499.99 on 2-year with voice and data and $549 month-to-month. Other ...

(LYA)has released a 100 page report after conducting extensive research into the Canadian broadband mobile market over the last few months covering handsets offered by 17 mobile carriers, flanker brands and MVNOs/resellers, as well as their features. ...

Long has it been known that they’re going to be carrying the BlackBerry Curve 8900, but now we can say for sure that they’re ...

I wish my father had bought me a ROMP as a child. The Remotely Operated Mobile Platform, ROMP for short, is a remote control vehicle designed for military use. It can shoot stuff with a paintball gun, listen in on conversations, blow up IEDs and so much more. Think of it as a Radio Shack R/C car jacked up on Red Bull and creatine. The design was conceived by Chris Rogers and while his intentions ...

If you’ve ever had a “Toll Tag” - a device which lets you drive on toll roads without stopping to pay with cumbersome coins - you know the blissfulness of driving uninterrupted to your destination. Or if you’re using a high-speed internet connection, you simply open up a browser and search and surf in real time. Maybe you’ve shopped a grocery store that use RFID for auto-scanning items for checkout and bills your credit card ...
