Coming to Canada in mid-May, U.B. Funkeys is a series of collectible figurines that, when connected to your computer through a USB port, unlock an online world filled with casual video games and interactive activities. With their curved teddy bear bodies and themes of anime cuteness, graffiti style, DJ mixing, gas mask fashion, and zombie states, they look an awful lot like the urban vinyl toys sold to adults at stores like Magic Pony or KidRobot, but the Funkeys are made by Mattel-owned Radica Games and aimed at kids ages 8-12. Although clever and cute, they offer no way for players to interact with each other, let alone the game's own characters. [More]

Lost in a complex garden maze, you must help a family of four find each other to reunite safely. Meet In Ver. 0. There are four panels, one for each family member. Clicking on a panel will let you control the movements of that person using your arrow keys. You'll quickly find that all of them will run into dead ends right away and you'll need to work out where how one family member can use switches inside their section to open up barriers for another. If the music gets to you, just click on the speaker icon to turn it off. [More]

From Chinese gardens to Egyptian pyramids, Frankenstein's castle to space stations and lighthouses, Photo! 3D Album is a free program you can download and install that you can use to create a virtual 3D gallery for your personal photos. Once you load the program and choose your gallery, you simply walk through the virtual space, clicking on the empty picture frames to add your own photos and comments. When you're done, you can share the 3D experience as a flash or HTML movie on your website, as self-running file you can e-mail to friends, or as a screensaver. It's quite impressive. [More]

It's the news many of us having been waiting for, and only just. Ted Rogers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rogers Communications Inc. sent out this statement (literally while I was on the air this morning) - "We're thrilled to announce that we have a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Canada later this year. We can't tell you any more about it right now, but stay tuned". It's interesting to note that the parties have only, just now, signed a deal with each other. My guess is that we will see the iPhone arrive in the Fall in time for an early Christmas push. Rogers will have the benefit of the coming update in June along with the Apps Store. It might be too much to hope that they'll skip the original iPhone model and jump straight to the 3G iPhone expected and rumoured to be launched this summer in the States. [More]
