The software reportedly allows for all your iTunes music (including album artwork and playlists) to be transferred and played on your Blackberry. No word on when this will make (another) official appearance. Link: [...]

Amazon has Wii games on sale – 50% off (and more)
I just noticed that Amazon has a fair number of Wii games on sale for 50% off (or more). My kids are fairly content to play their Wii with just the basic games that shipped with the console. However with this sale I’m thinking we may pick up a few extras to keep them busy [...]
Cops use GPS in bottle of Vicodin to nab robbery suspect
Police in Manchester Connecticut were able to capture a pharmacy robbery suspect thanks to the aid of a tiny GPS tracking device. One of the Manchester Police officers placed a small GPS tracker into a bottle of Vicodin. He then put the bottle back on the shelf inside a pharmacy that had experienced several hold [...]
GearDeal: Compaq Presario T2370 – 1GB RAM / 160 GB HD / 15.4″ WXGA LCD / Vista Home Premium – $399 at Best Buy
Friends ask me all the time where they can get an inexpensive computer. Well how about this laptop from Compaq that is on sale at Best Buy (available via in store pickup only) for $399? It’s certainly no speed demon with only 1 GB of RAM (the maximum you can add is 2GB) – but [...]
Sprint’s Motorola Q and Q9C apparently discontinued
The Everything Q forums have been buzzing for the last two days about the disappearance of both the Motorola Q and the Motorola Q9C from the Sprint web site.

Meeting With AMD Next Week; What’s on YOUR Mind?
I’ll be in Austin Wednesday for a meeting with AMD. I am looking forward to learning a bit more about their new Puma platform, and I have been asked if Gear Diary readers might have any questions for AMD – Puma related or otherwise. It looks like anything and everything you might want to ask [...]
GearDeal: Garmin Nuvi 650 – $249
It seems that automotive GPS units are starting to become commodities. It probably won’t be long before the full featured ones break the sub-$200 price level. Amazon has the Garmin Nuvi 650 for $249 with free shipping for Amazon Prime members. This model lacks some bells and whistles such as bluetooth hands free calling and [...]

Starting June 30 Sprint will feature a promotion that promises to pay you $20 to feature the Samsung Instinct in a YouTube video. There are no details yet (check the link below on June 30) and participation will be limited to the first 1,000 videos posted. Not to be overly obvious here, but I’m pretty [...]
If the world was ready for Kramer’s coffee table book about coffee tables – why not a book that’s a shelf?
Here’s an interesting idea. Hot on the heels (ok – maybe a few years late) of the Seinfeld Show’s coffee table book episodes (where Kramer invents and promotes a coffee table book about coffee tables). It’s a book – disguised as a bookshelf. That’s exactly what someone has built – a book+shelf. Granted, the shelf [...]
Being Prepared for Anything: What Would You Take?
Like many of you, I have been watching the news of the massive flooding in Iowa and Indiana with concern.
