Actual iPhone News!

In amongst the absolutely enormous number of rumours currently spinning around the iPhone, there is one piece of actual news. Rogers, already Canada's largest wireless carrier, has announced that it will roll out the iPhone later this year. The company was tight-lipped otherwise, saying only that contractual limitations prevent them from naming a date, any information on pricing, or if the iPhone in question will be the upcoming 3G model. Incidentally, Rogers started rolling out 3G in mid-2007 and currently covers the top 25 Canadian markets and plans to have 3G across the country by the end of 2008, according to their website.

For those of you who just hate wires, myself included, more and more products are going wireless. Sharp plans to introduce a line of HDTVs that can recieve 1080p signals from a base station up to 100 feet away. The article I've linked to calls this an act of obsessive-compulsiveness, but really - has anyone looked at that mass of wires behind their entertainment centre lately? Coax was a pain, and then - wiat for it... component audio and video came along! Three wires for the price of one! Right now these TVs carry a $700 premium, but it's a step in the right direction.
