The Canadian iPhone commeth!

[Press Release] TORONTO, April 29 /CNW/ - Ted Rogers, President and Chief ExecutiveOfficer of Rogers Communications Inc. today issued the following statement: We're thrilled to announce that we have a deal with Apple to bring theiPhone to Canada later this year. We can't tell you any more about it rightnow, but stay tuned.

So it looks like the Canadians will be getting the iPhone in the maybe not too distant future. Did Rogers and Apple decide to allow Rogers to apply the logo to the iPhone? Will the data rate transmission unlimited package be worked out to allow the iPhone usage? Will the iPhone be subsidized to an affordable rate? It will be interesting to see! More questions than answers right now, but looks like the Apple iPhone is going north of the US border.

Microsoft DRM stinks like consumer fraud!

Ok, so I'm anti-DRM (Digital Rights Management). Not for a free-for-all pirating world, No! It's because as a consumer, if I buy a product. I expect to own it!

With Microsoft closing its DRM service , they are leaving the consumers with something they don't own, and when that hardward and OS that the player is installed on dies! So does the product which was paid for and owned by the consumer. Even if the songs are backed up and saved on external media, if the operating system and it's registry that holds the certificate is gone, the DRM will fail to authenticate, access denied.

Wouldn't it be nice if Microsoft made available a tool to allow purchasers of the service a way to unlock the DRM on the music they purchased. In a perfect world it would be! Probably some pissed off fanboy will start a lawsuit.

It's moves like this that make music sharing and P2P sharing networks more popular. DRM is bad for business, it's bad for the consumer.

Would you buy a Mac Clone to save $50 odd dollars?

Mac Clone? Yah or Nah!

Psystar recently came onto the tech scene, boasting a low cost open operating system. The system which can run OS x has a price point of $399. Now you can have Leopard per-loaded onto the system for an additional $155. My question to the masses is, if you can pick up a Mac-mini for $599, would you buy a system that may or may not be fully compatible. Yes Psystar is stating it is, but the fact is that Mac Clones where sent packing years ago, to make damb sure that the Mac's name was built on reliable and sexy hardward! Sorry Psystar is not!

Blockbuster to provide set-top boxes.

Blockbuster Total Access to sell streaming set-top boxes.

Rumor is that very soon, you will be able to buy a set-top to access the Blockbuster catalogue. Since it's only logical that the Total Access service is extended to move the current movie delivery service into the living room.

Now why not throw in a PC/MAC streaming service as well. Use the content off the same catalogue. Since this is a move to take on Apple(iTunes/Apple TV) and Amazon(Unbox). We say go for it.

You’re iPod will self destruct in 720 days!

So why is it the iPod has a usage life of around 2 years, and why do so many try to blame Apple about using iTunes to terminate the unit at approx. a 2 year mark. Kid yourself all you want.

These units are made to last, just not forever!

An electronic device is still an electronic device, with real moving parts the iPods life is longer than you could really expect. Think to yourself, how long does you cell phone last, before you get crappy reception?

Now what are some major reasons these units fail. Well they are mobile, get thrown around in bags, jackets in the back seats of your car. Static charges from you’re body zap the tiny electrical components on a continual basis. What about that rechargeable battery, its drained and charged. Re-drained and then half charged. Runs the unit, as its little battery strains to run the electrical components and charge it’s self again and again.

If the iPod wasn’t such an addiction maybe more people would turn to picking up the Blackberry Curve (8310, 8320, 8330) lets say. It plays video and Mp3’s, It’s a phone. It also has a hardware upgrade option at most carriers, so after a few years, when it starts to crap out. You get a new one with a major discount. Wouldn’t that be an amazing option to add to your iPod purchase? Did you know that for $59.00 US you can extend the hardware support from 1 year to 2 years? It also adds telephone support from 90 days to the full 2 year term.

It’s not a perfect solution, but it is a way to safe guard a unit that takes a lot of abuse, maybe not by you, but static forces and voltage monsters are at play here!
