I was going to ask what made this different then an adhoc network, but that makes sense.

Canadians get Batman: Arkham Asylum for $40 at multiple retailers {Joystiq}
Aug 24th 2009 9:50AM To be honest I was going to pirate it for my pc. But if it's only $40 I might buy it for my 360.
NPD finds featurephones account for 72% of new handset sales in the US {Engadget}
Aug 20th 2009 9:24AM Well most of those giveaway phones aren't feature phones. They're the crappy samsung flip phone. Personally I just got a new phone from Telus in Canada. And it's a feature phone. Personally I would've loved to have gotten the touch pro2 or even the touch pro or blackberry tour but on top of the phone price I would've had to add on a crazy expensive data plan. It just didn't make sense.
US, Canada, and Spain 'win' the battle for most expensive cellphone bills {Engadget}
Aug 12th 2009 1:12PM I just got a new plan from Telus a couple days ago and i had to fight and argue with them like crazy to get a decent plan. After negotiating for days they told me I'd get for $40 a month total, which is 200 anytime minutes (sent & recieved), unlimited texting, 6pm evenings and weekends, 5 Numbers with unlimited call & Text Nationwide, caller ID, & voicemail. (That price also includes the access fees but not tax).
Of course when I actually went to get my new phone and sign up, it turns out that it's going to cost $47 a month, and the fav5 and 6pm evenings and weekends are only for one year. Not to mention that the phone ended up being $50 more than the "sale" price as to get the discount you had to sign up for a specific package for 3 months that cost $20 per month.
In short STAY AWAY FROM TELUS if you're in canada.

Aug 12th 2009 12:35PM Bullshit. The companies will use that as extra profit. Reducing corporate taxes will not reduce rates. What we really need is a new carrier modeled after a european one that offers european prices. Then people can finally stop taking it in the ass. I predict that eventually something similar to car companies will come in where foreign competitors will come in, offer higher quality products for cheaper and you'll see the slow crumbling of carriers that have become too large to survive.
Switched On: The last smartphone OS {Engadget}
Jul 21st 2009 5:26PM I don't think you understand. The PalmOS isn't being licensed to other companies like winMo and Android. It's success is likely blackberry OS and is intrinsincally linked with the success of palm hardware. It will definately stand a chance if palm keeps chugging out quality products.
Player sues Sony after being banned from PlayStation Network {Joystiq}
Jul 21st 2009 3:28PM He's not being an ass. Australia was founded as a colony because that's where england sent criminals. It was a penal colony. I personally like that idea. Put all the racists and homophobes together. And you can have a land free of douchebags.

Not everyone's happy about Ubisoft Toronto {Joystiq}
Jul 13th 2009 2:51PM Rockstar Toronto also hasn't made any big titles. And I mean big on the scale of assasin's creed or gta.
