Customer Reviews
A unique perspective on the Canadian mobile industry
There aren't a whole lot of Canada-focused tech shows -- much less ones focused on the Canadian mobile industry from a device and telco standpoint. Alex and Nile do a great job talking about all the latest gadgets and news week-in-and-week-out.

Very informative! Funny to :)
