    Cordlite is one of those accessories that just seem to make sense.

    Several times I've had the same dilemma only to unlock the iPhone to cast some light so I can properly see the dock connector to plug it in. This has since been rectified somewhat with the desktop stand, but even then it's a bit of a touch and feel game.

    Rogers and CIBC announce Mobile Payment Solution

    *EDIT* Rogers and CIBC just announced their new mobile payment solution. You'll be able to use your CIBC credit cards to pay for things via the NFC feature on certain Blackberries on Rogers.

    Do you all think today's announcement will help or hinder our ability to pay with your phone in Canada? While it's true that we haven't been able to pay for things with our NFC enabled phones today's announcement allows Rogers customers with a Blackberry to pay for things using their CIBC credit card.

    You got to start somewhere right? The thing is, what about customers on other TELUS/Bell/etc? What about people with NFC enabled Android devices? And what about Canadians who don't have a CIBC account?

    While today's announcement is very exciting, I'm worried that in the future it could mean you need to have a Rogers phone if you want to leave your CIBC credit cards at home. Since Rogers/CIBC choose to work together instead of with a group does this mean you'll need a Bell phone if you want to use TD and a TELUS one if you have Bank of Montreal?

    Of course, I can see why Rogers is so quick to jump on this. They don't want a 3rd party stepping in. I mean what's to stop a group from cutting out Rogers entirely and working directly with mobile phone manufacturers or worse yet: what if VISA/MC/AMEX work directly with the phone manufacturers.

    Payment processing is a huge pie and I'm sure everyone wants a piece. The problem is; customers will be inconvenienced if they have go jump through hoops for their piece. Let's hope things don't get too complicated.

    Credit card alternatives have been floating around for a while: Gas station quick pay chips, transit presto cards, etc. It goes without saying that the dust has not cleared yet.

    The only thing for certain, is that today is just a stepping stone to a broader collaboration between the Canadian wireless industry and the Canadian banking industry. ...

    Are there any apps you've used on other platforms you wish you had on Android?

    I want Logos Quiz. There is a version of Logo Quiz for Android but it's not nearly as fun as the one on iOS.
