I have to say, I’m absolutely stonkered by the amount of iPad paraphernalia that’s out there already, and the iPad hasn’t even shipped yet. Quite a contrast with the iPhone which, when it first came out, hardly seemed to have any cases available. But I guess no one wants to be caught short this time. [...]

iPad On Stage at the 2010 Grammy Awards
The 2010 Grammy Awards are in progress right now. The annual awards recognize the best in the music industry. Steven Colbert, the host and executive producer of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning series on Comedy Central, “The Colbert Report.” just opened the show and handed out the night’s first award. Instead of the typical award [...]
Etre Touchy Gloves Review
It’s been a problem since the first winter post-iPhone release: How do you use your smartphone with a capacitive screen during freezing cold weather? There’s always your nose, or a quick “yank glove, interact with phone, throw gloves back on, pray there’s no frostbite.” Etre believes they have a different solution with their Etre Touchy [...]
ipad Early Adopters, Time To Ready Your Credit Cards????
Red alert, red alert. Now hear this, now hear this….. The Apple online store is down! Yes, Apple’s web store is currently down for maintenance. Now we’ve seen this happen on Sunday before and it has turned out to be nothing more than behind the scenes work. But with the recent announcement of the iPad [...]
GearGames Weekly: January 31 – February 6
Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary! This is an interesting week, as we are once again seeing mixture of high profile releases and the usual January dearth of new games. The big release of the week is the highly anticipated new MMO (massively multiplayer online) game Star [...]
State of the eBook: Copyrights, DRM, and Amazon Versus Macmillan
(image courtesy The Hogshead) Well, it’s time for another State of the eBook. Of course, this week was under the iPad shadow, but-gasp!-there’s other news out there too! Plus, with Apple landing smack in the ebook game, plus the final “Google Books” settlement, it has led to some interesting discussion about the nature of ebook [...]
Sunday Funnies…
Worried about AT&T’s connectivity after the iPad starts gobbling up its already strained network? Yeah, me too… Thanks to my friend, graphic artist Rich Awad for taking the kernel of an idea and putting it into this visual…
Review: Customized ZAGGskins for Mobile Devices
Since debuting in 2005, ZAGG’s “invisibleSHIELD” has been a very popular protective skin for the wide range of devices for which it is made. The invisibleSHIELD’s military grade film offers good protection from scrapes, dings, and scratches without adding a lot of bulk to the device on which it’s used. Building on the success of [...]

Nexus One Desktop Dock Mini-Review
When we heard that the Nexus One Desktop Dock was finally available, I knew that I would have to order one for home and the office. Read on for some thoughts on the dock’s unique features, as well as comparisons to the BlackBerry 9700 and iPhone docks.
Diving Into the Nokia N900
One of the devices that I most enjoyed seeing demonstrated at CES was the Nokia N900. This pocket computer’s impressive specifications, its solid build, its multitasking capabilities, a web browser that looked like it could take on the iPhone’s, and yes, I’ll admit it — the cool little widgets on its personalized desktops had me [...]
Bummer- Apple Tweaks iPad Page To Reflect… No Flash for You!
There was a brief glimmer of hope that the iPad might actually have Flash running on it. Now all hope is gone. Initial ads for the iPad showed it appearing to run Flash in the browser. This raised a host of questions. Were the ads merely mockups? Can the iPad actually run Flash (despite the [...]
No Surprise Here and That’s A Good Thing- Evernote Has Big Plans For The iPad
It didn’t come as a surprise to me when, just hours after Steve Jobs announced the iPad, the good folks over at Evernote announced plans to modify the current iPhone and iPod touch app so that it becomes one killer iPad App. In their own words… Evernote is going to support the Apple iPad. Oh [...]
Free Your Mac Mail Into Google App’s Cloud!
(photo courtesy lifehacker) If you’re like me, you probably set up the Mail application on your Mac at first. And it’s a perfectly fine email program, if you want your mail stored locally. I set mine up when I bought my iBook (the last of the G3 models…what a great little computer!), using my comcast [...]
Why DID Apple Choose the MicroSIM for the iPad?
The iPad is making a unprecedented change, and instead of using a standard SIM like the iPhone does, they are using a 3FF or MicroSIM card. This card is half the length of the normal SIM card, and it pretty much guarantees that you won’t be able to grab any old SIM and stick it in your iPad [...]
