Some people have been questioning whether the Canadian wireless telecommunications market is sufficiently competitive to benefit consumers. One of the signs would be rivalrous behaviour, including observations about whether carriers innovate.
William Shatner is coming to Toronto tomorrow for a Rogers announcement, with the official preview stating that he will be part of an announcement of a North American first.
I wonder if Captain Kirk’s visit is related to a Star Trek communicator-like phone I found on the Source by Circuit City website, with two-way video calling capabilities – the Samsung A706R. There are other details about the phone and call plans buried deep within the Rogers website, including a description of a Vision Calling Plan, with unlimited video calling for 3-years.
Now you connect real time with your friends with live Video Calling. Switch your phone to Video Calling mode and you will see and hear the person you are talking to in real-time. Video telephony helps to preserve expressions, and other non-verbal cues. helping reconnect people during life’s important moments. Other features include high speed data transferring and a 2MP camera and video recorder.
Two-way simultaneous voice and video sounds pretty cool. Rogers introduced HSDPA last November, with the Sierra Wireless card for mobile data access.
Can it get Scotty to beam me up?
