Late last week it was revealed that Bell will be upgrading several Android devices to OS 2.3 sometime this Summer. The list included the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Galaxy S Vibrant, Incredible S, Desire Z and the ATRIX. There is no definite date of when the upgrade will be taking place but Samsung Canada has just [...]
In May, when HTC backtracked on their bootloader policy and promised to unlock them in all future phones, we were left wondering if the policy would apply to current devices.

Only days after avoiding another PR disaster, HTC has confirmed that the Desire will indeed be getting the Gingerbread update so many are lusting after. Their initial, now-retracted statement claimed that due to memory concerns it would not be able to optimally run the update.

In fact, Mobilicity has taken a great many cues from T-Mobile since its launch, and for good reason: both companies are fighting their [...]
HTC officially announced that they’ll start selling their first tablet called the Flyer “to customers globally during Q2 2011″. There was no confirmed release date for Canada but one of our tipsters stated back in February that this Gingerbread 2.4 powered Android might be heading to TELUS (will be upgraded to OS 3.0 Honeycomb). The [...]
The Sony Ericsson LiveView Android accessory has popped up on the Canadian SE site. We knew this was coming to Canada when we got a sneak peak at the Xperia arc back in January. The price is set at $99.99 on the official Sony Ericsson eShop but we hear this just might end up coming [...]
We’re not sure when this popped up on the Dell Canada site but the Dell Streak 7 tablet is almost here. This Android 2.2 tablet comes in with the price tag of $449.99 and has a 7-inch display that’s made of Gorilla Glass (resolution of 800×480). Other notable specs are that it has a dual-core [...]
