I’m working on a review of an Obihai Voice Over iP system. The system lets you use Google Voice, OBiTALK or other VOiP services and replace your landline. The Amazon product page explains the unit this way: From the Manufacturer: The OBi100 has one phone port. It supports Google Voice, SIP & OBiTALK VoIP services. Use the OBi100 when you do not need an analog line to a traditional telephone network or service. The OBi100 is perfect for customers who do not have a traditional telco phone service and want the savings and simplicity of using a VoIP service for all their calls. Product Description: The OBi100 has one phone port. It supports Continue reading on Gear Diary …

Yesterday a post on Cult of Mac related some bad news for the Canadian-based RIM. They noted, “Realizing its failure, the handset maker is ready to surrender to Apple in the consumer ring, and focus on its business roots… an arena which iPhone is also increasingly dominating.” Their comment was, in part, based on a report from Wunderlich Securities analyst Matthew Robison who reported, “We no longer anticipate Research in Motion recovering to participate in the mainstream of smartphone industry growth,” As a result Robison cut RIM’s target price from $76 to $46. I expect they are correct in their assessment of RIM’s dire circumstances, but I don’t need numbers and metrics to make… Continue reading on Gear Diary …

Summer is calling and Infiniti is answering with its G Convertible model. Based on the stylish and sporty G Coupe, the new hardtop droptop adds a third dimension to driving pleasure from the automaker. They still have all the basics covered: Spirited 325hp VQ-Series 3.7-liter V-6 engine under the hood backed by choice of 7-speed automatic transmission or (as ours was equipped) a quick-shifting 6-speed manual gearbox with short-throw shifter and commuter-friendly clutch. The G37 Convertible Sport 6MT (as our test model came to be known) adds sport-tuned steering, larger sport brakes and 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels with W-rated performance… Continue reading on Gear Diary …

We reviewed the Warpia: StreamHD some time ago. It offers “Advanced wireless USB solution connects your computer and HDTV for easy online streaming”. In other words, with the StreamHD you can view slideshows, movies and more from you computer on your television. You can even listen to 5.1 channel surround sound!! My bottom line on it: If I sound enthusiastic about this product, it’s because I am. I was disappointed in the reality of the other device and I’m thrilled to see that this product realizes the potential of this sort of streaming. Very often there are videos or other kinds of media that the teachers in my synagogue’s school want to share with Continue reading on Gear Diary …

As I have noted elsewhere on the site, I find myself listening to more music than ever these days. Much of the reason for this has to do with the fact that I’m always carrying at least one, if not two or three, devices that are able to stream a whole host of different types of music from a variety of different sources. A fair bit of the time is spent listening through headphones, but I much prefer listening to music coming from a set of speakers. The sound is richer, the music more all-encompassing — and I’m able to hear the phone when it rings. I’ve looked at a number of different stereo… Continue reading on Gear Diary …
