that canadian girl

When the iPhone came out in the US, I was drooling at the thought of getting one myself. When the UK contract deals were announced, and I started hearing about the difficulties people were having as far as upgrading to 1.1.1 while keeping their hacks, I got cold feet. I convinced myself that while I’m [...]

Do you work in mobile? Do you have questions about mobile phones? Do you have an opinion on mobile phones of today? (Who doesn’t!) Tomorrow, I’ll be hosting the 94th Carnival of the Mobilists, a big roundup of news and posts in the week about the mobile world, over on Taptology, the Taptu blog. I [...]

I’m spending the weekend in London for mobileCamp, a sort of ad-hoc gathering of people who work with mobile, or just outright love them. I’ve already posted a few pics on Flickr, and will add more throughout the weekend. The first panel was on the topic of S60 Web Widgets, which was a bit on [...]

Today, there were far too many news items on which I wanted to comment, so rather than write five separate posts, I thought I’d merge them into one highly artistic drawing. Nokia admits to battery issue: I’ve blogged about this on Taptology earlier this afternoon, but the gist of it is that Nokia is having [...]

Ok this is more of a brain dump than a proper review, because I’m far too excited to write anything sensible or worry about sentence structure right now… For a more sensible review of it, see Steve’s review from Friday on the Taptu blog. Camera I’ve always complained that the N95′s camera was bog slow [...]

It’s official, we’ve launched the Taptu blog! It’s still a bit bare on content, but give me a few days to get the engine nicely warmed up, and we’ll be producing some great stuff! If you’re wondering what else your phone can do, aside from ringing at the most inopportune moment and seemingly disappearing after [...]

The ever annoying default Nokia ringtone has inspired a song. How long until the iPhone marimba ringtone gets the same reaction?

Yes, I know, I know. More Apple news. (Sorry, it’s not over, I’ve still got to write a review of the Apple TV we bought last night!) Whether you want an iPhone or not, whether you’re an Apple hater or fanboy, it’s impossible to deny that the iPhone’s first weekend was a commercial success. Profits [...]

Monday morning in the quiet town of Chaverhole Haverhill, the local pikeys residents suspected nothing. Little did they know, they were about to witness the most flagrant act of self-promotion ever seen on thatcanadiangirl. Yes, let the proud bragging North American in me come out and shamelessly promote the awesome mobile search & share engine [...]

While I may not have as many RSS feeds to read as Scoble does, I crunch through my fair share of blog posts and news every day. I’ve already mentioned how much I love Google Reader, but again, it’s impressed me by its simplicity. If you’d like to see which items I’ve read and have [...]
