Many people are getting down to crunch time this gift-giving season, and it is easy to imagine that in the midst of all of the legitimate purchases, there will be more than a few that are fraudulent. If you are like me, then you like to do as much of your purchasing online as is possible, and [...]

The Belkin Concealed Surge Protector Review
I could whine about the fact that my elderly home doesn’t have enough electrical outlets for all my gadgets, but the fact is that even a newer house probably wouldn’t have enough outlets in the exact places where I would need or want them. Add to that problem a pressing need for surge protection, and [...]
The Brando 1GB USB Flash Card Review
Some days it seems as if I have seen just about every form a USB flash memory device could take, but every now and then a product will come along and make me think “hey, that was a great idea!” The Brando USB Flash Card is just such an item. Measuring 3.4″ long x 2.1″ [...]
The EXIM Screen Protector Review
Ever since I applied my first screen protector on my XDA II Mini I have been hooked. Since then, I have purchased a screen protector for every device I own, from PDAs, to phones, iPods and cameras. I have only ever used one brand of screen protector and I have not yet found any reason [...]
Video of the Samsung SPH-P9000 in Action
Many thanks to Vincent for filming this video as he and I peppered a patient Samsung executive with SPH-P9000 questions. There’s also another video taken during the luncheon where Dale Sohn (President of Samsung, North America) and Muzibul Khan (VP of Samsung Product Management & Enginnering) show off the P9000. The keyboard looks pretty rigid [...]
What the Heck is WiMAX…and Other Questions I Had Answered This Week
I am the first to admit that I don’t know everything there is to know about the different wireless data protocols and their acronyms, but I generally have a good idea of what each is and what the initials used mean. CDMA, WiFi, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS, EVDO, Bluetooth…no problem, I’ve got it. But until this [...]
From the Samsung Summit, the SPH P9000
Over a month ago G-A told me he was going to post about the new SPH-P9000 UMPC with a built in keyboard, and I couldn’t wait to see it in person. Today, I finally did. Take a look, and tell me what you think…
The Cowon A2 Personal Media Player Review
This has been a very, very difficult review for me to write. Most gadgets, I find I either like them, or dislike them, or just feel kind of “eh” about them. The Cowon A2, on the other hand, arouses some pretty powerful conflicting feelings in me. I’ll try to give you all a full idea [...]
The Samsung 10th Anniversary Dinner & Party
Tonight sure felt like a reunion of sorts! Joel from Geek.com and I met at the Borders Bookstore Cafe in the Time Warner Building to have a quick cafe latte and try out the Zune‘s WiFi sharing capabilities while we had a chance. More on that in the upcoming Zune review. Once we got upstairs [...]
In New York for the Samsung Event
I just got into New York for tonight’s Samsung’s 10th Anniversary (in the US) Party & Dinner and tomorrow’s Mobile Tech Summit. You should see this cute hotel room I’m staying in…”cute” meaning little and snug.
The HTC Star Trek / Qtek 8500 WM5 Smartphone Review
It’s been a little over a month since I received a Qtek 8500, HTC‘s first clamshell phone which runs the Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone operating system. Unlike some of the other Smartphone OS devices available, such as the Dash and the Q, which attempt to “be all and do all” without the benefit of a [...]
This Just About Sums It Up…
Some back-story on my mom: She is the queen of forwarding questionable email advice that includes every popular urban legend imaginable. It got so bad for a while that I would simply respond to each message with a Snopes link. So tonight my mother (of all people) sent this to me…and some of these made [...]
The Belkin Clamp-On Surge Protector Review
As you are a reader of Gear Diary, it’s pretty likely that your house is something like mine–an impossible flood of electronic gizmos, gadgets, and geegaws, both portable, and not, but all requiring a simply astonishing amount of plug-in space for wall current.� Around our stereo area it can get bad, sure; the receiver, TV, [...]
The i.Tech Virtual Keyboard Unboxing
The i.Tech Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard has been on my list of must-try items ever since I first heard about it – which if I remember correctly was in 2003! The first time I saw pictures of a keyboard which worked by beaming a red�laser display on any flat surface, my inner geek did a happy [...]
The Skullcandy MFM MP3 Integrated Stereo Headphones Review
I’d be the first to admit that I have never been snowboarding. I’m such a klutz that it takes very little imagination to picture me lying flat on my face in the snow or worse – lying broken at a tree’s base. So would it make me a total poseur if I said that I [...]
