Apple Site is Down (update)



Now if this sign was for Windows, all would be nervous or mad, but with Apple this sign warms the cockles of many a heart. Why? Well it indicates new stuff. Everyone loves new Apple stuff. Some have speculated that it might be a Canadian iPhone. I have a contract with the Parish and so my "Q" belongs to the church, but I must say even though I don't need another cell, it is tempting. Funny, is that Canada still doesn't have the phone when almost everyone else has it. The type of cell technology is GMS... as I recall and that requires a "sim"... which looks like a SD card. For us in Aliant-land they don't have that technology. So the only option to have a Canadian iPhone is Rogers, and frankly they suck. yes, you read that right and they do!!!

The other problem in Canada is our cell phone data plans are so very expensive that it makes having a "smart-phone" (it has a mini-keyboard, goes online, you can get your e-mails and surf the net) not too smart. It's $20 for 4 Megs... yes that's Megs not Gigs!!!! OMG we are so far behind the States and worse Korea who has great speeds. Our main problem with cell phone providers are that there are too many monopolies and we end up paying the price. I hope when the iPhone shows up in Canada, a data plan will be affordable to a majority of people and not just the business sector.

WELL... it's back up and the only update is a Pink Nano... celebrate Valentine's Day with Pink ... and possibly support the Breast Cancer Society will at it. Sorry Canuks, no iPhone... those data plans must be the impediment :-( they are just too pricey to make the iPhone actually functional. Stupid Rogers, stupid monopolies.
