We’ve always been pleased to be part of the tech community in Vancouver and have forged some really great relationships, some that go beyond work, so we’re proud to have been able to throw a little sponsorship love to our good friends at Tazzu.

It’s official, Canada will be getting the iPhone this year. This release has been confirmed by Rogers Wireless, the company that will be carrying the iPhone. Rogers chief executive Ted Rogers said that “We’re thrilled to announce that we have a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Canada later this year…We can’t tell you any more about it right now, but stay tuned.”

This ends a year of speculation on when the iPhone would be sold legally in Canada. It seemed that Apple and Rogers had reached an agreement back in January 2007, but Rogers then backed away from these statements. Well all I can say is it’s about time! I’ve got an iPhone and would love to have a proper package that allows me to fully utilize its capability without breaking the bank. Rogers has only just recently released more affordable data plans.

This announcement comes as great news as it seems that every other major company in the world had an iPhone be for we did - US, UK, Germany, France, Ireland and Austria all currently have access to the iPhone. If you want more information about the Canadian iPhone release, you can find it here and here.

The Register reports on FHD’s proposed new brand for the UK Office of Government Commerce and its received some interesting feedback. Seen right-side up the logo looks fine:

The first time I heard the term global warming I thought ‘what’s the big deal, I could go for some warmer temperatures’. I know I’m not the only one who thought this - particularly since I live in Canada and the temperature can get rather frigid…
