    Over at BGR amongst other sources, they have posted pics of some apparent upcoming changes to iOS 5.1

    A better camera lock screen and other languages in Siri, like Japanese, French and German have been popping up.

    Great additions but not enough to get me terribly excited.
    I really hope there's more. A lot more ...

    Yikes!
    Over at Mobilesyrup they've posted a Rogers Wireless bill that would easily make me run for another country!

    The owner of this bill, "TheOneBabooshka" is saying Rogers acknowledges that it's a billing error on their end but we'll see how this plays out.

    What do you guys think? ...

    Google Commerce is now stating that Google Wallet, it's NFC service, is now safe for consumer use.

    Yesterday afternoon, we restored the ability to issue new prepaid cards to the Wallet. In addition, we issued a fix that prevents an existing prepaid card from being re-provisioned to another user. While we’re not aware of any abuse of prepaid cards or the Wallet PIN resulting from these recent reports, we took this step as a precaution to ensure the security of our Wallet customers. If you are unable to access your previous prepaid card balance for any reason, please contact our toll-free support for assistance.

    Does this restore your confidence in Google Wallet?
    Did you have any to begin with, or are you like myself and going to let the NFC battle play out until there seems to be a clear path to the technology?

    Over at Crackberry they have gotten their hands on some images of BlackBerry OS 10 in "action."

    It seems as if RIM will be bringing widgets, a much needed visual refresh on application icons with folders showing the icons inside, a universal inbox and finally a shot of the call display screen. Interestingly enough, there appears to be a video button in the call screen for video calling.

    Very nice changes, and yet it still seems to maintain the look and feel of BlackBerry OS.

    I like it, do you? Forum Discussion ...

    An interesting application has come out today. Dell voice powered by Fongo.
    providing an alternative to Google Voice and other VOIP services at some very aggressive rates.

    I was reading this over at MobileSyrup and wanted to share it here as well to start a discussion.

    The service is offered free and is available on PC, iPhone and Android. A Blackberry version is in the works.
    You are provided a Canadian phone number, or you can port your existing number over if you're so inclined.
    This gives you access to the ability to make free calls to numbers in 30 large metropolitan areas. Some of which are Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. ...
