For Rogers, the revolution arrives Tuesday

TORONTO – Canadian actor Joshua Jackson was spotted around Toronto on Monday, handing out Rogers prize packs and talking up the wireless company’s two Google smart phones which he will unveil officially on Tuesday (and Cartt.ca will be there too). Rogers Wireless will be the first Canadian carrier to launch the HTC Dream and HTC Magic smart phones, the first cell phones powered by Google Inc’s Android platform.  They allow for access to a range of Google mobile services, including Google Search, Google Maps, and Gmail, and the Android Market app store. www.rogers.com/revolution
