With news of a possible November launch date for the iPhone on Bell, also comes news those iPhones will be un-jailbreakable for now. According to iClarified Apple is now shipping iPhone 3GS’ with a new Bootrom that is no longer vulnerable to the 24kpwn exploit.
We know the iPhone is coming to Bell and Telus in November - what we don’t know yet is the official launch day and the cost of the plans. But today there are signs that one of those question might have been answered.
Over the weekend I asked you when I should try my luck at my fifth iPhone 3GS. A couple of you figured I should get it ASAP while a few more said I should maybe wait a little longer. Well I’m glad I did wait. I really want to see what Telus and Bell bring to the table as far as voice and data plans.
The big news today in Canada is that both Telus and Bell are getting the iPhone in November. This mornings official announcements set off a whirlwind of speculation on what this will mean for Canadian fans of the iPhone. Here’s my take …
UPDATE: Telus will ALSO be seeing the iPhone next month. You can check out the details on its website. That means Canadians can get the iPhone on all 3 major carriers.
It’s been rumoured for months and this morning it’s official. Starting next month (November) Canadians will have another choice when it comes to which carrier they want to use with their iPhone – Rogers or Bell.
UPDATE: Starbucks has commented via Twitter about the apps not yet being available in Canada …
we are working on bringing the iPhone apps to Canada, promise! Will announce it here as soon as I have a date!
Lets hope the announcement comes soon.
I love a good cup of coffee – and while Starbucks isn’t usually my first choice, I do know there are plenty of them around when I need a quick caffeine fix. I’ve used a couple of apps that show the locations of the nearest Starbucks before, but I was never blown away. So I was really excited when I heard Starbucks was releasing official apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch. What was until I tried to find them in the app store.
It’s now October and nearly one month since I bought my first iPhone 3GS. You can read all about my iPhone woes HERE and HERE . I said I’d wait a couple of weeks before trying my luck at a fifth 3GS. So is it time to head back to the Apple store? I want to hear from you. When do you think – is it the right time for me to try my luck again?
I don’t think I need to explain who the Crasher Squirrel is – but for those that may have been living under a rock for the past couple of months, here is a quick overview. The Brandts are taking pictures of themselves in Banff National Park. While doing so, a curious Columbian Ground Squirrel pops up in front of the camera. The Brandts – using a wireless remote – snap a picture with the squirrel and send it to National Geographic Weekly for a photo contest. From there the photo goes viral around the world appearing in newspapers, on TV and all over the Internet. It’s so popular people have pasted the squirrel into a number of different pictures. A quick Google search will net you TONS of results. Now that wily squirrel has found its way onto the iPhone.
Back in July I mentioned using your BlackBerry and Mac together was going to get a lot easier. That time is fast approaching. The new BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac will be released Friday October 2nd. So all you BlackBerry owners using Mac’s – at least you have half the equation right – can stop using Boot Camp or whatever program you use to run Windows on your Mac.
Gizmodo Apple iTablet Mockup
It’s been a very busy few days at the Meador’s Musings household. But what better way to get back into the swing of blogging than a new iTablet rumour. This one would indicate the fabled device will be announced in January and be available in early summer – possibly around the same time as a new iPhone. Remember, the 3GS was released in June.
