Rogers and CIBC make joint deal for NFC mobile payments in Canada, let you check out with your BlackBerry
![]()

Canadians sometimes can’t catch a break: while NFC payments have been relatively common for Americans, Europeans and certainly the Japanese, Canucks have had to largely make do paying with ye olde credit carde. Rogers and national bank CIBC want to put an end to these antediluvian ways: starting later this year, CIBC card holders will just need to swipe an NFC-equipped BlackBerry like the Bold 9900 (Bold 9930 for CDMA-loving Americans) at a matching terminal to pay at a given store. The only special requirement is a secure SIM card that gives customers the freedom to change phones, even if it does create problems switching banks or carriers down the line. We’re just hoping that 안 드 로이드 and other platforms get the same treatment and let more of our Canadian friends pay for poutine that much faster.

A match made in heaven: BlackBerry PlayBook and… Windows Phone? [비디오]
![A match made in heaven: BlackBerry PlayBook and… Windows Phone? [비디오] A match made in heaven: BlackBerry PlayBook and… Windows Phone? [video]](http://cooltipsntricks.com//HLIC/856a50aac6b521ad69401eccf3a4b12e.jpg)
What do you get when you cross a struggling vendor’s debut tablet with a mobile operating system that has spent the past 18 months running into the brick wall that is 구글’s 안 드 로이드 operating system and 애플’s iOS? One Dutch developer seemingly needed to find out, so he ported Microsoft’s perpetually-emerging 윈도우 Phone OS onto RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook. The result is a somewhat responsive slate that gives us a look at what will never be; Microsoft is on record in stating that it has no interest in bringing 윈도우 Phone â emphasis on “Phone” â to tablets. Of course, with the software giant’s next-generation 윈도우 8 platform on the horizon there is no reason to put 윈도우 Phone on a tablet. But for those curious to know what a 윈도우 Phone tablet might look like, a video of the developer’s PlayBook running Microsoft’s mobile OS follows below. “Gamer109X,” the developer behind this curious chimera, said he plans to release a 윈도우 Phone build for the PlayBook to the public in the coming months.
