First the good news: Word on the only road in Canada, is that Apple will soon introduce TV downloads to the iTunes Store Canada. The Canadian version is expected to include local networks CBC and CTV.

 

Now the bad news: Canadian brewer Molson apologized for offering the Apple iPhone as a prize in a recent contest. Molson claimed the iPhone would be launched by Rogers Wireless in January 2008. Molson spokesperson Marie-Helene Lagace apologized for the mixup, “The information published in our rules and regulations for our promotion turned to be mistaken. There seems to have been a misunderstanding with our agency.” Oops.

 

NBC and SanDisk?: NBC Universal is teaming up with SanDisk to release NBC Universal content on SanDisk's Fanfare service in January. The content will play on SanDisk's Sansa TakeTV device. Battlestar Galactica returns in March, so this is perfect timing.

 

Bigger and better: This year's Mac Expo is already shaping up to be the largest Expo ever. IDG reports that both the south and west halls of Moscone Center have sold out for the first time in Expo history. More booths means more free pens and keychains!

 

In stores now: Aspyr announced this morning that Guitar Hero III for Mac is in stores now. Time to blow off that lunch meeting and head on down to the local Apple Store or electronics superstore. Rock on!
