Random Tech Stuff for the geek in you

I was cheking for new products and rates on thiers site and found this :

Telus’ Sim Card

This is a great move from Telus, being open to unlocked phone will certainly help to kick innovation in this sector in Canada. Now it will be interesting to see if others player in Canada will follow.

Good news it’s the ePub format that Chapters has chosen.

I was hoping for the Nook but so far theses are the supported eReader devices:

ePub files purchased on shortcovers.com can also be read on the following eReading devices:

* PRS-300 Reader Pocket Edition
* PRS-505 Reader Digital Book
* PRS-600 Reader Touch Edition
* PRS-700BC Reader Digital Book
* Asktak (EZ Reader, EZ Reader Pocket Pro, Mentor)
* BeBook (One, Mini)
* Bookeen (Cybook Opus, Gen 3)
* COOL-ER Classic
* Elonex eBook 600
* HanLin eBook (V3, V5)
* IREX Digital Reader 1000S
* Neolux NUUT2

The Canadian book will not miss this train and will be selling book too.

I’ll come back to you with more information about the format they will
be using.

At the first glance the title available look a lot like Eeader.com & Barnes & Noble

When I said we had a problem with mobility in Canada! This does not feel right.

This brand had probably the lowest rate in Canada and was really no gimmic.

I wonder how long it will last.

And what will happen to Solo also a brand owned by Bell. They didn’t know how to make that fly and they’ll do better with Virgin?

If it things to come with the new licences that are to be created? Is it competition and open market?

Fell it’s more like the movie “highlander” at the end there can be only one?

The android will be at Rogers: http://www.rogers.com/web/content/wireless-text/featuredphones?content3=a

NO ? So why is that Rogers always get the nice phones? o.k. o.k. most of the cool phone are GSM, but it really feel like Telus and Bell lack of buzz. They really need to work on theirs images.
