The deal gives access to a self-titled social activity app and website that adds both time and location to short, Twitter-like updates; users can not only pinpoint their present locations while they supply a short text message but also coordinate events for the future, setting a future event with a map marker t... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/23/nokia.acquires.plazes/ Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/17/iphone.canada.rate.report/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/iphone3g-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The launch of the iPhone 3G in Canada should also see Rogers introduce new rates that may reflect a greater dependence on mobile data but will also encourage higher rates per user, according to statements made by Rogers Wireless president Nadir Mohamed at the Canadian Telecom Summit. The senior official notes that new plans are coming within the next two weeks that will accommodate more frequent ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/17/iphone.canada.rate.report/ Tue, 17 Jun 2008 19:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/07/nokia.n95.8gb.review/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0805/nokian958gb-handson.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia has often saved its best smartphones for Europe -- and it's a move that has cost the company North American marketshare as the iPhone and other devices pass it by. The N95 8GB North America Model (NAM), however, is evidence that the company is making amends for slacking off, especially now that the phone is finally available through an official carrier (in the form of Rogers Wireless) and ha... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/07/nokia.n95.8gb.review/ Sat, 07 Jun 2008 17:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/27/omnivision.8mp.cell.camera/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0805/nokian958gb-camera2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Omnivision today said it has developed a new camera sensor that should radically improve the quality of photography from cellphones. A variant of the company's OmniBSI chip technology allows the company to fill each individual pixel on the sensor with much more light than previously possible by literally flipping the sensor upside down and lighting its back. In doing so, the company says it can ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/27/omnivision.8mp.cell.camera/ Tue, 27 May 2008 13:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/20/nokia.n95.8gb.hands.on/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0805/nokian958gb-handson.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Although available for awhile in Europe and for a short span of time as an unlocked phone in North America, the Nokia N95 8GB is finally available officially from a carrier on the latter continent, courtesy of Rogers Wireless in Canada. Electronista has just received its review unit and is putting the smartphone through its first paces, but already has early opinions for those looking to buy the ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/20/nokia.n95.8gb.hands.on/ Tue, 20 May 2008 21:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/02/nokia.n95.8gb.at.rogers/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0805/nokian958gb.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Rogers today confirmed one of two key rumors concerning its phone lineup for the spring by announcing it would carry the Nokia N95 8GB. The Canadian provider is the first in North America to officially stock the smartphone and takes advantage of the phone's 3G support for more than is possible on AT&T in the US, including Rogers' VISION two-way video calling service (courtesy of its front camera)... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/02/nokia.n95.8gb.at.rogers/ Fri, 02 May 2008 14:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/25/moto.movie.store.rumor/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/motoz10.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Motorola is developing a movie store for its phones, claims UK trade magazine New Media Age (registration required for full article). An alleged source at partner studio Paramount says that Motorola is in the "late stages" of offering a service that would offer full-length movies pre-formatted for Motorola's more media-friendly devices. Paramount is currently the only studio known to be involved... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/25/moto.movie.store.rumor/ Fri, 25 Apr 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/27/slingplayer.mobile.for.uiq/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/slingplayermobile-uiq.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sling Media on Thursday said it would expand SlingPlayer Mobile to add support for phones running the UIQ operating system. The new version will allow some Sony-Ericsson and Motorola phones to stream and remotely control Slingbox devices at home whenever the device is connected to either a 3G or Wi-Fi network. The initial lineup will include the P1i (pictured) and P990i smartphones, the M600i, a... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/27/slingplayer.mobile.for.uiq/ Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/24/study.on.music.phones/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/iphone-music.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Fully half of all phones shipped in the world will be music-capable within three years, according to a study by MultiMedia Intelligence. The research group estimates that while the cellphone market will largely remain flat, with 941 million phones being sold in 2011, about 50 percent of those devices will have at least some level music playback. This includes both high-end devices as well any ph... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/24/study.on.music.phones/ Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/18/nokia.black.n82.n95.8gb/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/nokian82black.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia on Tuesday shipped out revisions to a pair of its most successful phones. The N82 now ships in black and provides a subtler look than the silver version that has until today been the only choice for the smartphone. The 5-megapixel camera with Xenon flash, GPS, Europe-focused 3G, and Wi-Fi all come through from the original model. The Finnish cellphone producer sees the updated N82 arrivin... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/18/nokia.black.n82.n95.8gb/ Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:05:00 GMT
