New Revolutionary UK Folding Plug: GENIUS!
Sure they drive on the wrong side of the road, drink warm beer and have designed their electrical system to boil a kettle in the short space of an ITV commercial break, but every once in a while some Brits create some simply outstanding simple and gorgeous products.

Maybe now we can actually sync a Blackberry with a Mac?
February 12 2009: MacBook Pro 15” ordered. February 20, 2009: Proud owners of our first MacBook ! Now the integration starts. I went on in length about the issues we had in translating everything from PC to Mac (http://www.2fatdads.com/2009/03/pc-to-mac-switching-pains-part-1/).

RIM & Bell Update the BlackBerry Storm to v4.7.0.148 (Rel. 203)
I cleared my inbox and tasks this morning to download the much touted 4.7.0.148 update for the BlackBerry Storm and try to rekindle my love affair with the BlackBerry again.

Bell GPS-Gate Update
It would appear that Bell has decided to back off it’s initial plan to thwart 3rd party access to the GPS radio on it’s BlackBerry units. Who knows if this blog, The Boy Genius Reports or the insane amount of negative posts on Howard Forums had anything to do with it. Maybe the Bell legal team finally realised that…

Bell is now crippling GPS on BlackBerry
This is a story that is making it way around the tech crowd a lot this but has not gotten a lot and lot of media attention elsewhere yet. The Boy Genius Report Blog reports that: Over the next few weeks, Bell may be increasing the GPS lock time (2-10 minutes) and resolution (1-2.5KM) of…

Google Maps Mobile NOW with Street View for the BlackBerry
So I’ve been playing with the new Google Maps Mobile v 2.3.1 for the BlackBerry for a few hours now and although I dreading to see how much data I have consumed, I am very very impressed with the new added feature. The above video explains it very very well, but should you have YouTube…
