When the press release came into the Gear Diary e-mail account about the release of V-MODA’s first over the ear styled headphones I jumped — literally jumped — at the chance to review them. I had recently reviewed their Remix Ear Buds and was thrilled with them, so I was excited to see what they’d [...]

Review: Buddy Runner for Android
I carry my Droid on every run so I have a phone with me. Since it’s already with me, I use it to track my pace and distance on my longer runs. There are a number of sports tracker apps in the Android marketplace but I keep going back to using one in particular, Buddy [...]
Mophie JuicePack Air For iPod touch – Review
We love our Mophie juice pack airs for iPhone 3GS. In fact, when Judie, Larry and I were at CES in January they truly saved the day and kept us connected. I was recently sent one of the juice pack air’s for the current generation iPod touch and have been trying it out under a [...]
App Giveaway Winner- Egretlist
Egretlist is an interesting little task manager for the iPhone that has a unique claim to fame. As far as we know it is the first iPhone app that was written specifically to integrate with Evernote. Yes, an increasing number of apps work with Evernote but Egretlist was designed for it and, as such, take [...]
Review: Altec Lansing MIX iMT800 Dock for iPhone and iPod
I grew up in the 80′s. The 80′s was the decade of big hair, hair bands, break dancing and boom boxes. Never have I seen a dock for iPhone and iPod that brings back memories from the 80′s like the Altec Lansing MIX iMT800. The MIX has big boom box looks like no other dock [...]
PosiMotion’s Helix Gaming Grip for iPhone Now Available at Best Buy
One of the hard things about using the iPhone as a gaming platform is the grip (and the lack of external controls). I’m still waiting for someone to invent and sell some kind of dock with external buttons and whatnot, so you don’t have to use the virtual ones on the iPhone itself. But in [...]

Quit Smoking on World No Tobacco Day with “The Joy” iPhone App
Coming from a family with a generations-long history of substance abuse, I’ve always been very, very careful about things like alcohol and cigarettes (and Vicodin, and Percoset, and . . .). But some are not so lucky, and get hooked on King Tobacco and can’t get off, even when they want to quit. A whole [...]
The Vaja ivolution Top for Apple iPad Review
It’s no secret that I have long enjoyed the Argentinean company Vaja‘s leather products, so when my birthday rolled around this year the Gear Diary Editors knew just what to do — they gifted me with the new Vaja ivolution Top for Apple iPad in my choice of colors. I chose the girly and bright [...]

Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary! Even though I reported on some mixed early reviews, Alpha Protocol remains my pick of the week. The DS finally gets the game based on the popular book Wizardology, which came out in Japan quite a while ago. The PC also [...]
CD Review: John McLaughlin and the 4th Dimension – To The One
Apparently April was CD-release party month at the old-British guitar legends home! Hot on the heels of Jeff Beck’s Emotion & Commotion comes To The One from John McLaughlin. While McLaughlin might not carry the same name recognition as Beck outside of the jazz world, the impact of the contributions of the 68-year old McLaughlin [...]

C25K Week 3: Protect Those Feet
Larry: Week 3 of the C25K is in the books. This week’s workouts got a little harder and the first 3-minute run was a bit of a struggle but once out of the way I could start to feel the return of my endurance, even if it was ever so slightly. Brisk five-minute warmup walk, [...]
