Source: www.precentral.net --- 18 minutes ago We all knew paid apps were headed to Europe. That was well announced by Palm and was well received by eager European users. As a Canadian, I was stuck, sitting there, and thinking "but what about me and other Canadians?" After all, Canada was the first international carrier to get the Palm Pre. Good news! A few hours ago, arthurthornton posted a Palm email in our forums . The email basically described to developers what the international paid app expansion would mean for them. Interestingly, the email did include this brief key new bit of information: We'd also like to inform you that in addition to the planned European launch, we will be launching e-commerce support in Canada and Mexico. No date mentioned was, so it could mean that the Canada/Mexico expansion will occur at the same time as the European expansion ( expected at the end of March ), or possibly at some later unannounced date. Regardless, it's good to see progress is being made for Canadian and Mexican users wanting their paid app fix. Hopefully this announcement can help attract more developers with the expanded international user base. Thanks to Arthur, Keith, and sketch42 for tips! ...

Source: www.creditwritedowns.com --- 1 hour ago Canada reported a larger than expected trade surplus earlier today. At C$0.8 bln, it was four times larger than expected and the December figures were revised to show a C$0.1 bln surplus instead of a C$0.2 bln deficit. Canada also reported a strong rise in Q4 capacity utilization rate to 70.9% from a revised 68.7% in Q3 (previously estimated at 67.5%). Tomorrow Canada will report February employment figures tomorrow. The unemployment rate is expected to have remained steady at 8.3%. It appears that Canadian unemployment may have peaked in the middle of Q3 09 at 8.7%. A favorable fundamental case for the US dollar can be built on ideas that the output gap will close in the US before Japan and Europe. However, Canada appears to be the only other G7 country that can match the US. Canada is expected to either match US growth this year or nearly match it. Canada often experiences price pressures earlier on its the expansion phases. This, coupled with a healthier banking system, which is an important transmission mechanism of monetary policy, will likely result in the Bank of Canada hiking rates before the Federal Reserve. Canada’s 2-year note yields 62 bp more than the US currently. Last week it reached 66 bp, the most in about 6 months. The US dollar has fallen about 4.5% against the Canadian dollar since testing CAD1.07 on February 25th. If one shares 1) our view that through the growth differentials, North America will ...
