iPhone

I was recently looking for a little diversion, so I fired up my iPhone and looked up the top free games. It's not uncommon for this list to contain limited demos and other apps that try to sell you on premium, paid version, but usually a little time on the free demo is enough for me.

This time I decided to download a game called GodFinger which is a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game with a cute, drag-and-drop interface. The reviews weren't stellar but I thought I'd give it a try.

One of the coolest things I've seen of late is a new compact projector. Here are just a few of the specs that make me ga-ga:

• Only 4.5 inches long, 2 inches wide, less than an inch thick.
• 5.6 ounces
• Resolution up to 1280 x 768 (nearly the same as my HD TV!)
• Runs up to an hour from its internal rechargeable battery
• Image size from 6" to 50"
• VGA or RCA video input
• No fan required (lamp runs cool)
• Initial street price of just $360

So the big news this week for Canadian Apple fanboys like me was the announcement that the iPhone is coming to Canada July 11. I know, there are already lots of iPhones in Canada, but I'm hoping I can get my office to pick up the tab, something that's unlikely with a black market device.
