How to truly customize your iPhone case
Want a case for your iPhone 3G or 3GS that’s truly your own? Watch this un-boxing video for a peek at what I’ll be reviewing soon.
An Unboxing I NEVER Thought I Would Do
For me, the iPhone was love at first multi-touch. When I bought one exactly two years ago this week, I thought that I would NEVER want to try another device. EVER. Since then I’ve had an iPhone “Classic”, a 3G and now a 3GS. The iPhone 3GS is amazing. It is fast, it has huge [...]
ooma Free Home Phone System Gets Unboxed
Wayne got his ooma Free Home Phone System back in March and did a full post on it, then he posted a special deal on the ooma the other day. I was looking for a new phone system that would reduce my monthly expense and, if need be, be somewhat portable since we spend part of the [...]
June 2009 15” MacBook Pro Unboxing
One of the best things about being a technology writer is getting to look at some of the newest and best tech toys on the market. Recently, my parents bought a June 2009 15” MacBook Pro (the one with the new SD slot) for my mother. My mission (and I have no choice but to [...]
Unboxing the HP Pavilion dv2-1199us Laptop
HP and Microsoft sent me an HP Pavilion dv2-1199us Entertainment PC to try out. Once I got past the fact that the model number is a mouthful, I couldn’t help but notice how lovely this moonlight white computer is – both in appearance and specifications. The exterior is described as a “magnesium-aluminum-alloy case in a [...]
Unboxing the Amazon Kindle DX
I couldn’t resist; I put in my order and received an Amazon Kindle DX. Some of the more obvious differences between the two devices are that the DX has a ~9.5″ screen, while the 2 has a ~5.8″ screen; the DX measures 10.4″ tall x 7.2″ wide x 0.38″ thick, and the 2 measures 8″ [...]
First Impressions of the HTC Touch Diamond2
One of the more exciting announcements to come from Mobile World Congress was that HTC would be releasing the Touch Diamond2 and TouchPro2 as followups to their preceding namesakes. Neither is technically available in the US – not just yet anyway, but as luck would have it, HTC was kind enough to loan me a [...]
First Impressions of the AT&T Pantech Matrix Pro
The new Pantech Matrix Pro is a chunky and solidly built little smartphone, offered exclusively by AT&T. Measuring 4.17″ tall x 2.0″ wide x 0.85″ thick and weighing 5.34 ounces, it might be easy to dismiss this little beast as too thick and too heavy. But just like a story with a surprise twist at [...]
Unboxing the Amazon Kindle 2
I was starting to feel like I was one of the last people to get theirs, especially after enviously reading Dan’s emails and Doug‘s post about their Kindle 2s, but today my Amazon Kindle 2 finally showed up. I also got the Cole Haan Brown pebbly leather cover to go with it, since Amazon neglected [...]

Nearly everyone over at Gear Diary has been going ga-ga over the new Kindle 2, recently released by Amazon. The communication lines at Gear Diary have been burning with traffic on the device, and a number of team members have been receiving theirs. The device is shipping now; and if you ordered one, you should [...]

New MacBook and MacBook Pro unboxed
Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve probably heard that Apple announced several new models and refreshes of their popular line of MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air computers. The MacBook seems the most changed with new aluminum casing and beefier video and storage specifications. Turns out all the hype about “carving a laptop from [...]
In Receipt of the Sprint HTC Touch Diamond
Just a quick post to show you what arrived at my door today. My impressions will follow soon, as well as a different type of review than I usually do. It’s charging now…
iPod Touch Take 2- Some Initial Impressions
The FedEx man stopped by a bit ago with my new iPod Touch (thanks Michael!). Set up was incredibly quick in large part due to my having formatted and rebuilt both my iPhone and 1st Generation Touch so many times over the past few weeks. Initial thoughts- nice but not a huge leap forward. Unboxing [...]
