Bell Mobility (serving Canada) is not only recalling its MiFi 2372 cards, it has switched off service to those card users, due to a heat issue that may cause the battery to swell and obviously malfunction. Bell Mobility is sending out envelopes for customers to return the units and they will be replaced, although the [...]
Evernote announced that three million users have registered for its service in less than two years. That’s quite an achievement by any measure. I spent an hour on the phone with Evernote CEO Phil Libin to learn more about what they’re working on and what we can expect to see in the near future. Evernote’s open [...]
There’s no question that using two hands to drive is safer than one, but apparently a lot of people still seem to have missed the memo. California is one of many states where it’s unlawful to hold a mobile phone to your ear while driving. Most seem to be abiding by the relatively new handsfree [...]
Bill Gates, in a Fox Business Network appearance along with Berkshire Hathaway execs Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger, says that Microsoft is still cooking up some Tablet and Pen goodness.

A BlackBerry leak out of website BlackBerry Leaks indicates RIM is working on a tablet device to add to their gadget lineup.
Apple announced that it sold its millionth iPad on Friday, exactly four weeks after the product went on sale on April 3.

In news I don’t quite understand, BumpTop has been bought by Google. Not a copy of the desktop-metaphor interface software, the whole company. And if you want a copy of that software for Windows or Mac, you’d better get it now.
And on a more serious note. Good friend Hector Gomez shows how he’s using a remote desktop app, iTap RDP (iTunes link) to access his desktop and run Office 2007 on his iPad. Hector was responding to my post yesterday when he sent me the link. I do the same thing with LogMeIn and as [...]
What’s a Fringemonk? Well when it comes to parody videos about hating on the iPad, you’re guess is as good as mine. This is pretty silly though and should make for a few weekend laughs. Sung to the tune of Michael Jackson’s Bad, it might not hang around for long.
I guess it seems somewhat fitting that I’m writing this post about my iPad usage on both the day after the iPad WiFi + 3G (more on that name later) was released and while I’m in Richmond visiting my Mom. Back on April 3 when I received my iPad (WiFi only) I was all set [...]
