I’ve been using the HTC Advantage for five days, which is definitely not long enough time to pass true judgement on the device, but it is enough timeďż˝to talk about some of my likes and dislikes. Ready? The screen is glorious…absolutely fabulous. 5″ of diagonal goodness that is clearer, and easier to read from, than [...]

Review: RoadWired Cable Stable.
I regularly commute to work with my laptop in tow, so I am always on the lookout for new solutions to carry my gadgets, accessories, trinkets and gizmos. My latest stop found me at the RoadWired Deluxe Cable Stable, an impressive looking gear bag, which features an assortment of pockets, cords, loops and cubbies to [...]
Toogle Search: Personalized Name Art
How can you not love a site that will do an image search based on any name you enter and then return a picture rendered in that name? I’m talking about Toogle Search, and here’s the result I get when I enter Judie Hughes… Look, Gizmo even made it into the photo!
I’m Scared!!
A rather unfortunate picture from Tracy and Matt The Samsung SGH-i600 (but not the i601/607) has a dust problem, reminiscent of the problem that afflicted one of the HTC smartphone models years ago. I have read about this problem more than once on the MoDaCo forum, but I haven’t actually seen it, and after seeing [...]
UPDATED: Another Intel Concept, Too Good To Ever Be Produced?
This new concept laptop computer from Intel and a company called Ziba Design looks amazing, but the question is will it ever make it to the market? It is is designed to be ultra-slim and stylish, wrapped in leather like a diary, and be carried like a bag.
If It Has Leaves Three, Leave It Be or If Nobody Else Will Do It, Chris’ll Review It
Regular readers of GearDiary.com know that we have a very talented team of reviewers here. What you may not realize is that there is sort of an unspoken pecking order among the team members about who gets to do which review. For instance, if the product has four wheels or a screen bigger than 19″, [...]
The Windows Mobile Encyclopedia of Software and Accessories
You may have noticed that I, along with Clinton and Doug G., am on the Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine panel of judges for their 2007 Software Awards. What you may not have realized is that the magazine maintains an extensive database of applications and accessories that are available for these Windows Mobile devices. Are you searching [...]

The Neuros OSD Unboxing
While at CES, Matt Miller (aka The Mobile Gadgeteer) and I were invited to a private dinner at Morton’s Steakhouse with Neuros Audio. The evening’s star attraction was the then unreleased OSD, which turned out to be one of the most amazing video capture devices I have ever seen. “The Neuros OSD will allow you [...]
Samsung SGH-i600 to Get Free WM6 Too!!
News of the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade for the BlackJack i607 has been out for a few days now, which doesn’t help those of us with the European cousin the SGH-i600. Well it would seem we are getting the same upgrade to WM6 for the awesome price of $0. While not quite confirmed yet, it [...]
A Pair of Jacks: Samsung BlackJack and i600 Review
The Samsung BlackJack has been a runaway success over in the United States which doesn�t surprise me at all. Thin, light, black, it covers all the bases. A gorgeous and comparatively large high-res screen, thumboard, and some 3G has been thrown in for good measure. The BlackJack has just recently arrived here in Australia, and [...]
The iPod gets Lost
If you’re a rabid Lost fan like myself, then you’ll also be freaking out over the revelations of the last episode. I for one am hoping that this is the last season of the show – I just can’t handle the suspense any more! That said, I’ll be sad to say goodbye to all the [...]
Tempted by the Hiptop 3
A couple of days ago, Telstra in Australia launched the Hiptop 3 (aka the T-Mobile Sidekick 3): a cute little teenybopper phone mainly aimed at teenage and twenty-something girls (no offense to the guys that own one!). Compared to the latest generation of smartphones, it’s way underpowered. My embarrassing admission is that I want one, [...]
