Apple Store down in preparation for Apple Watch and MacBook orders

Just hours away before Apple Watch online preorders open, the online Apple Store is down for updates and we suspect that the Apple elves are busy redecorating the Retail Stores to highlight the Watch as well as the new MacBook which will also be available in stores and online tomorrow.

Customers can pre-order their Apple Watch through the Apple Online Store (www.apple.ca) beginning April 10 at 12:01 a.m.  or PDT 3:01 a.m. Eastern for delivery beginning April 24. 

Android Wear iPhone support tipped to be coming soon

Rumours have been going on for a while that Google is working on iPhone support for the Android Wear wearable platform. Recent reports claim that Google is close to finishing up with the technical details for Android Wear to work with Apple's platform. However, with the upcoming release of the Apple Watch, we're not sure if Apple will be willing to play nice with Google on this one. Of course, they want their own wearable to succeed. And Google would need Apple's help with this. You can't sideload apps on iPhone unless you jailbreak a device, we don't think Google would take that route.

Google brings Google Play for Education to Canada

Google wants to bring its "one-stop-shop" for educator-approved content for classrooms to the country via Google Play for Education. Serving as an extension of Google Play, the educational tools and content will be delivered through Android tablets. It covers curated apps and free classic books for kindergarten up to grade 12. The apps will be labeled with a yellow "EDU" badge to signify that they have been reviewed by a group of educators. The content covers subjects ranging from English, Arts, Mathematics, World Languages, and Science. Teachers can browse content by grade, subject, and educational goal. There are even classroom activity tips for educators.  

Canadian schools interested in using Android tablets with Google Play for Education have five different tablets to choose from. Each tablet can hold up to five student log-ins. The tablets will also come loaded with Google apps like Docs, Chrome, Gmail, and Earth.
