Gigaom pronounces unreleased, untested and unproven Blackberry Storm an iPhone and G1 killer
I read with some interest this article from Gigaom about the unreleased Blackberry Storm. As you may know the Blackberry Storm is Research in Motion’s first ever touch screen Blackberry. It has been gathering some attention due to its lack of physical keypad and the use of haptic touch (meaning the screen moves when you [...]
Splash ID gets an update
Splashdata publishes a plethora of applications that work across a variety of platforms. I’ve used their programs in the past on Palm, Windows Mobile, Blackberry and now I’m addicted to their iPhone versions (they also publish for Series 60). Version 4.5 of their password and confidential data keeper program – SplashID program has been released [...]
iPhone 2.2: Why isn’t anyone talking about push notifications?
I don’t understand one thing about this latest (yet to be released) iPhone 2.2 upgrade. The iPhone was slated to have push notification services before the end of September. The last major release of the iPhone OS was pushed out on September 12. While this release generally stabilized the operating system, reduced lots of system [...]
Open It! – The most useful product I have ever reviewed.
If you hate thick, awkward, hard-to-open plastic packaging as much as I do — you need a pair of Open It!. I reviewed these package openers in December and although they look like big ugly pruning shears – you cannot beat them for slicing through the thick plastic packaging manufacturers love to use on their [...]

Ilium Software Is Calling All Goblins and Ghouls…
…for a costume party with a twist! Halloween is almost upon us, and Ilium Software – the creators of such fabulous software as eWallet and ListPro – has sent word that they will be holding an unusual competition: they would like participants to dress up the two “Ilium Guys”. As Julie from Ilium says, “They’re [...]
Griffin Aircurve boosts your iPhone audio without power
I’ve been testing the new Griffin Aircurve with my iPhone for the past week. My primary alarm clock each morning is my iPhone which I’ve set to wake me at the same time each weekday. Usually I just leave it flat on my nightstand. Sometimes I plug it into a power cable and other times [...]
Endo Magnet Clip
I use magnets as much as possible to hang things on my refrigerator. I find it extremely convenient to get loose papers and important items (such as the school hot lunch menu) up off my counter and onto a place where I can easily reference them. These Endo Magnets hold up to 1 LB and [...]
Custom colored trackball for your Blackberry 88xx
If you have a Blackberry Pearl changing the color of your trackball is relatively easy. The Pearl has a muti-color LED beneath the trackball which controls changing the color of the trackball. This means you can use a software program to control the Pearl trackball default color. However if you’re using an 88xx series Blackberry [...]
Need a good excuse for missing school, work or a date? Try a fake doctor note.
Lets face it – there are times when you attend events just because you have no plausible excuse for not going. Remember back in school when only a doctors note would get you out of a missed day? Now you can select from a whole pile of phony doctor notes that are tailored for almost [...]
Thrill the World: Are you ready to “Get your zombie on?”
Did you notice Zombies dancing in your street yesterday? Well if you were in one of the 83 cities across 12 countries where people united at 11 am to simultaneously dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller you just might have. It was all part of another attempt to break a world record for simultaneous “Thriller Dancing” [...]
Your To Do’s Buttoned Up: the Do&Delegate.list Review
I would love to say that I am a highly organized, note-taking, list-making, got-it-together but when I need to boy-can-I-delegate type of person, but that would be stretching the truth just a bit. While I am good at making lists and setting tentative dates for To Do completions, I am terrible about recognizing my own [...]
Preview: Ubuntu/Kubuntu 8.10 “Intrepid Ibex”
We’re nearing the release of the Intrepid Ibex, and I thought I would share some of my thoughts after having used both Ubuntu and Kubuntu versions of the venerable and popular Ubuntu Linux. First, since there’s not a large Linux audience on Gear Diary, I will do a little explaining. The Linux Kernel was first [...]

From a forum member [...]
