I am not even a third of the way into my Palm Pre App Catalog series, 30 Apps in 30 Days, and already I am starting to feel its obsolescence. You seem I learned earlier today of a shadow app catalog. This unofficial app catalog for the Palm Pre is already stocked with over 75 [...]

Palm Pre App Catalog: 30 Apps in 30 Days. Part 8: Flixster
Yesterday, we started our two part look at movie listing apps on the Palm Pre with Fandango. Today, we will wrap that up with a look at Flixster.

Where Have You Gone…Encyclopedia Britanica??
Earlier today, some of the Editors here at Gear Diary were having a conversation about the website Wikipedia, which has grown into something of a communal encyclopedia. Our conversation involved the strengths and weaknesses of the concept behind a site like that, and whether the information was as accurate or as reliable as an old [...]
Become A Secret Agent With The IASUS 500K Series Headset
You know how the secret agents and security officers in movies always have that telltale coil coming out of their ear? It just makes them look mysterious and important.

Two New Bluetooth Options From Motorola
A lot of states are joining the growing trend of banning cell phone conversations while driving unless you have a Bluetooth headset or car speakerphone accessory. The truth is, this is probably a good move, which is likely to save the lives of many drivers and passengers who would otherwise become distracted while talking on [...]
GenAudio: CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW???
One of the things I have noticed when I purchase or rent DVDs is that most of the focus is on the picture quality. How well does the screen on your HDTV recreate the theater experience. The thing is, when I go to the theater to see a movie, it is rarely the screen which [...]

OK, let’s face it. If you are reading this, then it is a good bet you are a Gadget Enabled Enterprising Kind (of person) or GEEK. And many of us GEEKs are always seeking new ways to show off. Whether it is a t-shirt with binary humor on it, or even a shirt with a [...]
Aerial7 Headphones Announces Two Colorful New Additions
I try to stay pretty well informed when it comes to headphones, and I rarely find a company which surprises me much anymore. But, I have to admit that I had never heard of Aerial 7 until we received this press release announcing their two new models. I guess I just don’t go clubbing enough [...]
Review: Seagate Replica Complete PC Backup Solution
Wow! Where was this when I was in high school? One of the cool things about being so involved with computers and technology is watching the pace of change. Dan mentioned that the other day with his look at an old 32 MB card vs his 32 GB iPhone. This change is most apparent in [...]

Quick Look: Hexistentialism
It is not every day that you come across a truly creative and unique game. Especially one that can be found deep within the recesses of the iTunes App Store. Let’s be honest, a lot of the games here, regardless of how good or bad they may be, are derivative or even direct ports and [...]
Review: DreamGear Rumble Blaster
One of the best technology purchases I made was the Nintendo Wii, which was a family present two Chanukahs ago. It is a fantastic gaming platform, especially for younger children, and the motion sensitive controls are nothing short of amazing. The only problem I found, though, was that the Wii remote can get in the [...]

[This is a joint review between Doug Goldring of JAMM and Judie Lipsett of Gear Diary; it will appear simultaneously on both sites. Doug's comments are in black, and Judie's are blue italics] The last time I used a non-touch screen version of Windows Mobile was the Motorola Q. It ran Windows Mobile 5, and [...]
New Seagate Replica PC Backup Appliance
I think that if I were to leave a legacy in the computer world, it would be this: always, always, always, always back up your data (with apologies to Winston Churchill whom I loosely paraphrased.) you see, I have led a lifetime of losing data, which dates all the way back to my first computer, [...]
