Good news, Canadians!
Bell’s launched new data plans for BlackBerry and WinMo devices — 1GB of data ($6/MB for roaming in the US and 3 cents per extra MB). Strangely enough is Bell’s next tier offering: 8MB of data for $40. What? That’s right, for $5 less you can opt for only 8MB of data (versus 1GB, remember). The big sell on this one is that it allows tethering with no additional fee.
Sure, it’s pricey at a whopping $45, but show me a better option for those of us who absolutely need to tether.

Finally, Rogers has released the HTC Touch Diamond for the sweet, sweet price of $199.99 on a 3 year contract. Of course, that’s with a mandatory ’sign up’ of a min. $45 data/voice plan, but we expected that.
Other pricing options include: 3 year contract (voice only) for $449.99, 3 year contract (data only) $499.99, 2 year contract for $549.99, 1 year contract for $549.99, and month to month for $599.99. The Rogers HTC Touch Diamond is actually cut like a diamond on the back as the original HTC Touch Diamond. Bell and Telus’ versions seem to be lacking the cool, textured back.

Vnunet.com is reporting today about a new mobile virus using an older infection technique to infect Windows Mobile users.
This so-called ‘companion virus’ is attacking users by assuming the identity of an existing file and moving the old file to a different location in your device’s storage. The virus then runs itself when the original file is called, often loading the displaced file after the virus code has been executed.
Researchers at McAfee have examined the virus and are surprised to find this particular infection technique still being used. Researcher Jimmy Shah had this to say:
This was a bit odd since companion viruses used to be more popular in the days of DOS and we haven’t seen too many on newer platforms.
