I understand that different people have different preferences when it comes to home decor. Some people want to keep things simple, whereas others are willing to experiment with more eccentric form factors and color palettes. What about all the hunters of endangered species?

You know how the recent slate of commercials from Verizon have had their sights clearly targeted at AT&T and the Apple iPhone? You know how they’ve been saying that they have a map for that and how they’ve placed the iPhone in the land of misfit toys? Well, it’s not like the boys and girls [...]

By now, you’ve probably seen some of those wireless charging mats by companies like PowerMat. The idea is that you can simply place your iPod, Nintendo DS, or other portable devices on the mat and they’ll start charging without having to connect a cable.

Seems like the Cupertino floodgates are opening north of the border. It wasn’t all that long ago that Rogers Wireless (and its canine companion Fido) was the only place where Canadians could officially get their hands on the Apple iPhone.

Most cell phone geeks are already familiar with the Colorware service. In a nutshell, you ship your treasured handset (they also do notebooks and other gadgetry) over to their warehouse and they’ll outfit it with a fancy paint job featuring just about any color that you can imagine.

Arguably, HTC started this whole thing when the company made the TouchFLO user interface overlay for its Windows Mobile phones.
