Apple announced a new phone, new iPad and Apple TV earlier this week. I was a bit underwhelmed at the announcement – it wasn’t anything that wasn’t already leaked. I was also a bit disappointed with the iPad Pro. Sure, there’s a keyboard and a stylus (overpriced, I might add), but it would have been […]

Thoughts on the Apple Watch
As most people know, the Apple Watch was officially introduced yesterday. Sleek, functional and available in three different styles, the product will be available in select countries, including Canada and the United States on April 24. And yes, I am super-excited for the product. As per an earlier introduction, there will be three versions of […]
iPhone 6, iPhone 6Plus and the Apple Watch: Thoughts
So Apple announced three new devices yesterday, including the much-anticipated watch. I’m pretty excited about these devices (I’m leaning towards the larger iPhone 6Plus right now), though a bit disappointed that the camera is remaining at 8 megapixels, while other phones have gone up to 12. Of course, megapixels aren’t everything and the sensor in […]
The QX10 and Alpha 7: Sony Cameras I’ve Tried or Want To
I’ve been spotting a lot of my fellow bloggers talking about this Sony device, a camera that is the size of a lens that users can attach and pair with their smartphone and then take pictures that are much clearer than a standard phone camera. Users would have to download the camera app for their […]
On Comparing Android and Apple Devices
A few days ago, IFB (Independent Fashion Bloggers) published a post on the iPhone versus the latest HTC DROID, an Android-operated device. I was a little bit astounded at the fact that I was the only one who mentioned that comparing the two is apples to oranges (no pun intended) rather than apples to apples, […]
Stollery’s Going to Become an Apple Flagship Store?
This has both been reported and refuted over at Urban Toronto and Macrumors. However, if true, it’s a great idea. Stollery’s is old and tired and looking more and more out of place as the Bloor-Yorkville area develops. It might for many, but with new condos being built and trendier stores moving in, it’s time […]
Apple Announces the iPhone 4S
The new iPhone has been announced. The new device, called the iPhone 4S (much to the disappointment of iFans), will be available in several countries, including Canada, the US, Australia, Japan and the UK on October 14 and by the end of the year everywhere else. This operating system, which was discussed at an Apple […]
Sony’s New Blogger-Friendly Cameras!
A few days ago, Sony announced several new interchangeable lens devices, including two from their compact NEX line – tiny, lightweight cameras that work almost like full-fledged DSLRs, complete with lens changes. Compact interchangeable lens cameras are a growing market, especially for people who don’t want a point-and-shoot, yet don’t feel that DSLRs are for […]
iCloud, iOS5 and other Apple announcements at WDDC 2011
With Steve Jobs as the keynote speaker, Apple recently unveiled several new products, including iCloud (a file storing system that was probably influenced by Google docs – allows you to store files and can be accessed on any Apple product you own) at their World Wide Developers’ Conference (WWDC 2011). Users can even access music […]

MESH was founded in 2006 by five enthusiasts for the “Web and all the next-generation things happening.” These five founders are Mark Evans (Principal, ME Consulting), Mathew Ingram (Senior Writer, GigaOm.com), Mike McDerment (CEO, […]
