Top Canadian stories from the past week, plus other news from around the web


This week was nothing short of astonishing. One of the highlights for me was checking out what RIM has in store for BlackBerry 10 – both the OS and the devices – and was highly impressed, and believe you will be too. Then the week wrapped up with fireworks: the Apple vs. Samsung patent infringement trial ended in Apple’s favour to the tune of $1 billion. Of course there were a few more device launches, OS upgrades, new plans, and a new Canadian focussed mobile stats. Below are the top Canadian mobile stories from the past week, plus notable news from around the web.
