Don't miss Corey Herscu tomorrow morning on Global TV's "The Morning Show" 

Fresh off my trip from Nicaragua, and for the first time as a member of the Canadian Reviewer team, tomorrow morning I will be back on air on Global TV's "The Morning Show" talking about Cottage-friendly gadgets and accessories that will survive the last few trips up north. On the docket for the show we have: the Dyson Cool and Hot blade-less fan, the fully waterproof Bell LTE-powered Sony Xperia Z, the "Fre" LifeProof case for the iPhone 5, the Logitech UE Boom Bluetooth speaker, the waterproof/shockproof Canon Powershot D20 digital camera, and the Huawei B890 4G LTE smart hub! Of course, it wouldn't be me if I didn't have something special to giveaway live on air, so make sure you tune in tomorrow morning first thing!

Comparing the BlackBerry Z30 to the Z10 and Q5

When it comes to BlackBerry devices nearing launch, they tend to go from non-existent, to "what the heck is that", to all-up-in-your-grill everywhere you look; so is the case for the yet-to-be announced BlackBerry Z30.
