This is the first time I have been on an airplane in almost a year, but is the first of a series of trips I will be taking in the next two months. Therefore it was a good opportunity for me to get a better sense of what gear is currently best for me when [...]

Crunchpad is dead; Unicorns Say Apple Tablet is On Target
TechCrunch today announced that the Crunchpad is dead. A victim of an unfortunate falling out between CrunchGear and FusionGarage, Crunchpad was apparently supposed to go live this week.

The Motorola T215 Bluetooth Car Kit Speakerphone Review
Laws are continuously evolving to deal with technology and the potential hazards of using it while driving. As a consequence, it is now considered unsafe in many states – or it has been made illegal – to drive without some kind of hands-free solution when using a mobile phone. Many people are wearing headsets, but [...]
Shopping part deux: Cyber Monday!
So its the first day back to work after a long holiday weekend with family..and if you were brave enough..Black Friday shopping. From all accounts around the web, it was a good Black Friday.

The iWallet Will Put a Bump in Your Pocket
I can imagine that being the victim of identity theft would be an absolutely devastating event, but I’m not sure that a $299.95 biometric wallet made of fiberglass that pairs with your Bluetooth mobile phone is the solution, either. Sure, using a fingerprint to access your money or credit cards is geeky as hell, but [...]

No In-Store Nook eBook for You!
Bad news if you were hoping to stalk your local Barnes and Noble for a nook this morning: the Wall Street Journal is reporting that B&N is not shipping units to stores until December 7th.

Hitachi Announces New Starboard; Chalkboards Weep in Corner
At a recent family dinner, my mother (a history teacher) very excitedly asked me if I’d ever written about whiteboards for Gear Diary. I stared blankly at her, since I didn’t understand how markers and plastic boards were very tech-y. She then explained that she meant electronic whiteboards; her school had recently procured some for [...]
Review: Universal iPhone/iPod Cradle from USBFever.com
iPhone and iPod docks are great. They keep your device upright while charging and syncing which allows you to easily access them. They look cleaner on your desk and there’s no fussing with cables or connector plugs that might become damaged from overuse. But docks are not without flaws. Many docks are device specific. One [...]
