One of the pleasant surprises I found when I first started checking out the BlackBerry Playbook was the fact that it is a fantastic blogging tool. Unlike the iPad, which continues to fall short in the mobile blogging department, the PlayBook is a complete blogging system that works beautifully. The rear camera is surprisingly good, [...]

The PhoneSuit Primo Power Core Rechargeable Battery Pack for Tablets and Phones Review
Electronic devices always seem run out of power at the most inopportune times, don’t they? Figuring out ways to keep those devices powered for as long as they are needed is key. Whether you are a regular road warrior or simply away from the office for the day, if you aren’t going to be near [...]
BlackBerry Playbook Case Review: Case-Mate Barely There
I’m a huge fan of minimalist cases and that tends to hold true for pretty much every device I use. I want something as thin as possible on my iPhone 4. I want something that doesn’t add too much bulk to my iPad 2. And I want to get a case for the BlackBerry PlayBook [...]
USBFever Launches o’ the Week
You see? When I told you on Sunday that it seemed like the USBFever folks never slept, and that they even put out stuff in between their releases o’ the week, I bet you doubted me, right? I mean, I wouldn’t blame you; those guys just don’t stop, you know? Week after week, month after [...]
RIM Announces Multi-Platform Enterprise Mobile Support and some Bold New Phones
Image courtesy of Blackberry Recently at Blackberry World Conference 2011, RIM made some announcements on a few new devices, apps, OS 7, and most notably the new Multi Platform Blackberry Enterprise Server. Blackberry has been under some pressure in the past few years, mainly because they are losing market share daily to both mobile hardware and [...]
RIM Pulls an Oprah, Gives All BlackBerry World Attendees a Brand New PlayBook Tablet
While attendees were Tweeting, BBM’ing and trying not to nod off during Mike Lazaridis’s keynote address during this year’s BlackBerry World Conference, a jolt of enthusiasm swept through the crowd as RIM announced every attendee would receive a complimentary 16GB BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Suh-Weet! Gauging the rabid excitement of the crowd, the news was [...]
Cases Galore from PDAir
Very much like those busy little bees over at USBFever, PDAir–motto: if you need a case, we’re on the case! (no, not really)–comes out with new products at a rate that makes me, quite frankly, a little dizzy. This week, they’re giving you a couple of new cases for the Blackberry Bold, as well as [...]
Mobile Phone Accessory Review: the Oberon Design Cell Phone Sleeve
It’s not very often that I can get excited about a universally fitting mobile phone sleeve, mainly because most of the ones I’ve reviewed in the past were pretty utilitarian. But when I received an email from Oberon Design, the company responsible for some of my favorite Kindle2, Kindle DX and iPad cases ever, asking [...]
Gear Must-Have: Gadget Genie Moisture Removal System
Judie knows gadgets. She’s been blogging for years and has tried out hundred and hundreds of different items and accessories. Many of them get “ooos and ahhs” from her, but rarely have I seen a product draw such immediate enthusiasm as this one. No, this product received an “OMG Great Idea!!! I need some to [...]
Speck’s Fitted for BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100
Your faithful Gear Diary team has used a lot of Speck cases in our time, and your humble news nerd (that would be me!) has one on his iPhone 4. They are solid, often attractive and/or interesting cases that give you good value for your shrinking dollar. As I make an effort to not give [...]
Grip-Ez: Brass Knuckles for your Mobile Device?
Okay they really aren’t brass knuckles. That would be just silly. Once you stick the Grip-Ez onto the back of your mobile device with the included 3M tape what it does do is offer an unparalleled amount of grip. Made from hard plastic and rubber the add-on is said to be very durable while [...]
iPhone 4 Case/Wallet Review: eHolster Front Pocket Wallet
Since winning a recent bout with back-pain I’ve begun, at the recommendation of my chiropractor, carrying my wallet in my front pants pocket. It lives in the right side of my trousers while my iPhone lives in the left. That presents a problem when it comes time to place my keys somewhere. I don’t want [...]
Review: iGo Charge Anywhere
No matter how long you think your mobile devices can maintain a full day’s charge, you’re going to be put to the test. It’s always going to be a race to find an outlet or to boot up your computer as your phone’s battery starts to fade out completely. It’s happened to me plenty of [...]
PDAir New Releases for the Week
Those never-rest folks at PDAir are at it again, releasing a whole slew of cases for your smartphone needs. I couldn’t even begin to detail the various models, prices, and devices they cover, so I’m simply going to let the list speak for itself: PDair Aluminum Metal Case for AT&T Samsung Captivate Galaxy S SGH-i897 [...]
Review: Thinksound ts02+ mic: Going Green Sounds Even Better Now
Last February I had the chance to review Thinksound’s first two offerings. The “Rain” and the “Thunder” were the company’s first entries into the earbud market. Thinksound is a company that takes environmental impact seriously. Everything they use in the construction of their products, from the packaging made from recycled materials to the PVC free [...]
