If you’ve been looking for an iPad case that not only protects your iPad but actually looks great, your search is over thanks to Colsen Keane.

I’ve had an opportunity to try almost a dozen iPad sleeves and cases over the past two months. With the exception of Vaja, which boasts a whopping $350 price tag and a 60 day wait time, the best quality and sexiest designed sleeve that I’ve … Read More

If you’re an RSS junkie, like I am, it’s important to always have your RSS feeds in sync. There is nothing more annoying that having to sift through posts that you’ve already read, especially when you’re following 20 or so different websites.

Over the past 3 years I’ve been using Google Reader as my primary RSS reader. The interface is simple, like all things Google, and it … Read More

There has been some buzz about people receiving bills for data use in excess of $4000 for a few days of service.

Since I purchased my iPad I have been fighting an uphill battle trying to sync everything between my Macbook Pro, my iPad, my iPhone and my Windows server.

On the left is the projects “drawer” which slides in and out as you need it. On the right are all of the UI options which you can drag into the center area to start creating … Read More

I have been using the WordPress app on my iPhone for just over two years and it has always felt like an unfinished app. It crashes and freezes. I’ve lost countless articles in draft – after hours of writing. The app has always had bugs.

Queue WordPress for iPad – the slightly less intelligent cousin of WordPress for iPhone.

The app is sluggish and inconsistent. It lacks … Read More

**Updated:

I forgot to mention. When you try to setup an account with Bell you need to give them the IMEI # of a device that their network support. In my case, I gave them the IMEI# of my Rogers iPhone 3GS. It worked like a charm. **

Today I decided to take a chance and get my iPad 3G working in Canada. Unfortunately, living in the Great White North, we aren’t … Read More
