Kids whose parents have Blackberrys heckled and abused by kids whose parents have iphones

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have discovered that the children of parents who own Blackberry's are suffering abuse, verbal heckling and sometimes even violence at the hands of the kids whose parents have iphones.

"I think those parents who own Blackberry devices need to take a hard look at themselves and ask themselves what kind of impact are their selfish decisions having on their children." Dianne McDaniels, Director of Child Welfare Services for British Columbia. "I think it's a combination of poor judgement and selfishness really"

She went on to describe the many benefits of the iphone over the blackberry and urged parents to act responsibly when making smart phone choices. Children of parents with blackberrys where displaying above average levels of anxiety, frustration, lower concentration levels and were displaying higher general levels of animosity towards their classmates.

iPhone in Canada? Yeah right...

Well with the launch of the iPhone in the US today, it leaves many of us wondering WTF? Most of us all live within 100 KM of the US border, so the question is what gives. Why aren't rogers offering the iphone here, why haven't they even announced it? The answer as usual is confusing and less than clear. While we can assume its a case of a combination of the following:
1. Licensing deals with Apple Canada/Rogers, trying to get it at a price point where they can gouge the Canadian consumers, and still make alot of money.
2. The fact that they only just released last years technology, and they dont want a newer better phone on the market to compete with that.
3. Probably some crappy govt rules about the device having to have FRENCH instructions included.
4. The CRTC has decided that they need to test the device for 3 months before they approve a license for it to be sold.
