Samsung Galaxy Note coming to Bell, Rogers and Telus in February

Here are the latest reports on Samsung Galaxy Note coming to Bell, Rogers and Telus in February
Those of you who seem to be more closely connected to the Maple Leaf than the pine needle might’ve jumped on the envious side at the news that folks across the border are getting their hands on the LTE Galaxy Note. Envy no more. Via blog post, Rogers has announced that Samsung’s “phablet” creation will be surfing through its fresh 4G waves in the upcoming month. Aside from the Rogers branding we expect to see, it’ll be hard to distinguish this Note from its AT&T brother, as it’ll be identical in the specs department. Based on a page thrown up at Best Buy Canada, it looks as if it’ll sell for $249.99 on a three-year contract (with Bell and Telus getting in on the fun, too), with the first of ‘em shipping out on Valentine’s Day. Desperate to be the first to try and fit this in your pocket? Head on to the source to join the carrier’s reservation system.

Starz ends renewal negotiations with Netflix, will pull movies from streaming in February

Here are the latest reports on Starz ends renewal negotiations with Netflix, will pull movies from streaming in February
Starz has apparently decided it can live without the hundreds of millions of dollars a renewal of its content licensing deal with Netflix was expected to bring and announced an end to negotiations today. According to the Company Town blog, talks broke down over Starz’s insistence that Netflix implement tiered pricing, and charge customers even more for access to its content. That means when the current deal expires on February 28, 2012, they will all go away, including a number of its newer release flicks from Sony (already pulled) and Disney that Starz has exclusive licenses to and Starz content like Camelot and Spartacus. To make matters worse, all of this is going down the same day as a price hike makes it more expensive to keep both disc and streaming services.
While Starz claims the move is a part of its strategy to “protect the premium nature of our brand by preserving the appropriate pricing and packaging of our exclusive and highly valuable content” as well as “evaluate new opportunities”, Netflix spokesman Steve Swasey is quoted as saying it can redirect the Starz money to deals with other content providers to “maintain or even improve the Netflix experience.” Beyond Starz, in the US Netflix also has access to newer movies from its deals with Epix and a few smaller distributors like Relativity Media. Check Starz’s statement in full after the break, and let us know if this is changing your answer to yesterday’s poll question.

All Things D: HP kept executives in the dark about webOS decision

Here are the latest reports on All Things D: HP kept executives in the dark about webOS decision
If you thought the saga surrounding HP’s decision to cease production of webOS devices was over, you may be mistaken. All Things D reported yesterday that key executives — specifically Todd Bradley of the currently-in-limbo Personal Systems Group and former Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein — weren’t informed of the move until Sunday night. The blog’s inside sources say the two plan to remain at their posts for the time being, however, that could change dependent on what happens next with webOS. Those sources also noted that Rubinstein wasn’t exactly thrilled about the timing of the TouchPad’s release, saying CEO Leo Apotheker had failed to make good on a public promise to ship the tablet only when it was “perfect.” So will they stay or will they go? It’s anyone’s guess at this point, but you can bet we’ll keep you posted.

Google Magnifier curates Music Beta tracks, has nothing to do with burning ants

Here are the latest reports on Google Magnifier curates Music Beta tracks, has nothing to do with burning ants
At school, Tim Quirk’s friend had an English cousin who sent over new records from the motherland. Now he’s paying the favor forward as head of Magnifier, a blog informing Google Music Beta members about new, interesting bands with free, exclusive tracks. One click adds the exclusive content to your Music Beta library. Google is calling Magnifier a “music discovery” site, making a big deal that only artists the editorial team thinks are “pretty great” will be featured. Sadly if your taste is more esoteric than My Morning Jacket, it may not be for you. Somehow we doubt Magnifier will get around to releasing exclusive Adriano Celentano tracks any time soon.
