For Christmas, employees at Invoke received a welcome gift: Kindles. While some of us were skeptical about this new-fangled contraption, a few weeks of use have made converts of us all… and we aren’t the only ones. Due to the Kindle, Amazon sold more e-books during Christmas than print books. Apple’s rumoured iSlate promises to encourage further adoption of tablet PCs — and may even signal a shift away from netbooks.

From time to time, a company comes out with a brilliant product: clean, sleek, easy to use, and down right sexy. However, something even more rare and interesting than this is the halo brand – a brand that can do no wrong and spits out brilliant products. One worth mentioning is Apple.

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.”
