Regular readers of GearDiary.com know that we have a very talented team of reviewers here. What you may not realize is that there is sort of an unspoken pecking order among the team members about who gets to do which review. For instance, if the product has four wheels or a screen bigger than 19″, [...]

A Pair of Jacks: Samsung BlackJack and i600 Review
The Samsung BlackJack has been a runaway success over in the United States which doesn�t surprise me at all. Thin, light, black, it covers all the bases. A gorgeous and comparatively large high-res screen, thumboard, and some 3G has been thrown in for good measure. The BlackJack has just recently arrived here in Australia, and [...]
Mood Wrapz: Groovy, Dudez.
Sometimes the best definition of a gadget is something cool that you never knew existed. But once you find out about it, you have to have it. Even though you don’t need it at all. Mood Wrapz are that kind if product. Known as “a mood ring for your iPod, MP3 player, or cell phone,” [...]
The ThermaClear Heat Enabled Acne Treatment Device Review
Well, here I go again…tripping merrily into “Too Much Information” land, so that I can tell you all about a product which most females over 21 wouldn’t want to admit needing, much less using. It’s okay though, I don’t embarrass easily. So the deal is that I occasionally get painful pimples which can best be [...]
Review: The Skinny on the Crumpler Medium Skivvy Laptop Bag
I carry my laptop with me just about everywhere I go (let’s face it when you ride the train for an hour each way, you need something to entertain you). Because my laptop is such a critical part of my daily routine, I am always looking for new and improved ways to carry it. Anything [...]
The LTB 5.1 USB Headphones Review
Up until 3 months ago when I would play computer games (like Call of Duty 2 and Counter Strike) using just a normal pair of earbuds, which worked fine, but I wanted something a little better. LTB produce a pair of 5.1 headphones that connect up over USB, and they sent me a pair to [...]
The Belkin Compact Surge Protector Review
Can you ever have enough electrical outlets in your home office? Perhaps – if you had a hand in designing their layout when your house was built. But for those of us who weren’t even born when our homes were built, deciding which devices get powered – and where it will happen – can be [...]
The Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home Photography Bag Review
If you are at work when you read this review, do not – and I repeat, do not – click on the Crumpler link until you’ve turned your computer’s speakers way down. With that said, you just haven’t lived until you’ve clicked on the site and experienced the unintelligible hillbilly yodeling which could have made [...]
The LapWorks Aluminum Desktop Stand
Not long ago I reviewed a simple black plastic swiveling laptop stand which really impressed me because it made using my Toshiba Satellite more ergonomic�as it was kept�cool. My only real complaints against that economical (<$10) solution was that it wobbled a bit, and the front retaining lip blocked the Toshiba’s SD card slot. I [...]
The BatteryGeek 130Wh External Battery Pack Review
I have had my MacBook Pro for about 6 months now, and for the most part I have been very happy with it. The one issue that has been with it from the beginning is battery life. While it may be quite a powerful laptop, the 2.5hrs battery life (I have seen less more than [...]
The Iambic Health and Diet Manager (for Pocket PC) Review
One of the factors that made me drag my feet when deciding whether or not to fully migrate from the Palm OS to Windows Mobile was that the two software titles I considered essential were only available for the Palm OS at the time: one was Beik’s Woman which I use to track “female stuff”, [...]
The Microsoft Zune 30GB Digital Media Player Review
[Ed note: This review is a collaborative effort between Jenneth, Judie and Mitchell. Jenneth's remarks will be in black, Judie's will be in italicized blue, and Mitchell's in italicized green.] Designing a music player to topple the almighty iPod isn’t a task we would wish on anyone, but if ever there was a company with [...]
The Brando USB Audio Controller Review
When you’ve got a computer without sound support or perhaps it is broken, what do you do? If its a desktop computer, you could pop its lid and install a sound card in one of its slots. But if its a laptop/notebook computer, there are no expansion slots to put in a sound card. There [...]
Thermaltake iXoft Fanless Notebook Cooler Review
Laptop�s these days are getting a lot more powerful, and along with that power comes a lot of heat. Some laptops obviously get hotter than others, and my MacBook Pro would be nearing the top of that list. When it�s running hard it can get very hot on the bottom, which is why the term [...]
The Tom Bihn Ego Messenger Bag Review
In 2005 I reviewed a king-sized bag from Tom Bihn called the Super Ego. While that bag was extremely well made, versatile, and could carry even the largest laptops, the trade-off was obviously that the bag was huge. Measuring approximately 17″ wide x14.5″ tall x 6.75″ deep, the Super Ego could seem a bit overwhelming [...]
