    So I just got a 16GB Blackberry Playbook. Here are my first impressions.

    When you pick it up it has a nice heft so it doesn’t feel cheap. The back and sides are covered with rubberized paint. Along the top are a headphone jack, play/rewind/forward buttons along with a power button. The bottom has a micro HDMI, micro USB and a docking connector that reminds me of Apple’s Macbook magnetic power connector.

    Here’s my review of the Apple iPad 2. Specifically the 64GB 3G version in white. While tablets have been around for years they’ve only become popular recently. While previously most Tablets were powered by Windows the iPad is powered by Apple’s iOS which is also found on the iPhone. So what are people using their tablets for?

    Yesterday I got a chance to play with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and Play. 2 new Android phones which are coming to Rogers. The Arc is a replacement for the x10. While both are powered by a 1Ghz processor the Arc's is a newer Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 which has substantially faster graphics. It also has a bigger 4.2" LCD display with a slightly higher resolution - 854x480 compared with 800x480. The Arc's display looks better than the x10's plus the digitizer is much closer to the actual LCD panel. On the x10 you get the feeling that you're looking through a thick piece of glass when you look at the display. You don't get that with the Arc (it's kind of like a Super AMOLED display in this respect). ...

    Truth be told It's been a while that I’ve done a review here so i thought why not. I'll admit that I was a bit of a Blackberry Snob only really caring about newer blackberries for a while. I even considered reviewing the iPhone but let's be honest. There's enough iPHone reviews to go around so i never bothered.

    I decided to break my Sabbatical and get back into the swing of things with a full featured Android device. The HTC Desire Z. Does it have the specs to compete with today's flash bang gee whiz hardware? Let's find out.

    For this review I used an HTC Desire Z on the Bell network that was given to me courtesy of a representative of HTC Canada.

    The Desire Z I was given is running Android 2.2 and the Software number is 1.34.666.3

    Hey guys,

    Finally decided to buy a phone and stop waiting to see what's coming. I bought the Motorola spice for Mobilicity, I currently have the $25 unlimited talk+text, no data. I use wifi at school and at home, other than that I don't have much use for it. Maybe down the road I'll upgrade, or maybe go to wind for better data. Bought from NCIX because it was on sale. Note I've only owned this for 2 days, hence "first impressions" but I'll make necessary updates if I see problems arise and so fourth. ...

    I’ve been using a Palm Pre 2 for a few weeks now. It’s now available on Rogers for $99.99 on a 3 year contract. Here’s my review of it.

    I was going to say the Palm Pre 2 is a refresh of the original Palm Pre but in fact the Pre 2 is a SECOND refresh since the Pre Plus is the first refresh.

    One of my favorite phones of the past year has been the Samsung Galaxy S. From the fast processor to the camera to the slim profile to the iPhone copycat interface really enjoy using it. Let’s not forget it’s gorgeous display.

    Now imagine Samsung were to put the Galaxy S in a photocopier and enlarge it 75%. Then we’d have the Galaxy Tab. ...
