Know how James Bond got that beautiful Aston Martin he drives? Well I’ll tell you right now he didn’t get it by paying for tolls like a sucker. With increasing prices on toll booths in Philadelphia, New York and other greater metro areas, people are always looking for a way to save a buck.

Now for $121, you can score a remote control RF license plate cover for your vehicle. While you’re driving, just hit a button and a piece of plastic will slide to cover your plate. It looks like it’s designed for European-style license plates but I’m sure with a little DIY modding, you can get it to cover up yours. Seems well worth $121 to me if you’re a speed demon.

With the iPhone 3G just around the corner, an online petition was formed regarding Rogers’ iPhone 3G pricing plans which attracted over 41,000 signatures. Service plans were announced to start at $60 for just 150 voice minutes. The gripe is regarding the lack of an unlimited data plan, which is essential for a phone which thrives on data.

Also, unconfirmed rumors say that Apple was so displeased with Rogers’ pricing, they’ve decided to divert some of the Canadian iPhone stock to European launches. Potentially bad news for the Canucks but perhaps some new rate plans may arise from the petition; or it’ll be ignored by anyone who hasn’t signed it.
