Let me start off by saying that I’ve never used Pocket Informant. I knew of its existence, but I hadn’t given it much thought because the built-in iOS calendar app worked well enough for me … how wrong I was. But when Alex Kac, CEO and Founder of developer WebIS, invited us to check out [...]

Fieldrunners 2 for Android Review – The King of Tower Defense Games!
When it comes to casual mobile games I love, Fieldrunners ranks at the top along with others such as Plants vs. Zombies and Civilization Revolution. All of those games allowed me to get an ‘on the go’ experience that still scratched my hardcore gamer itch. So I was wary when Fieldrunners 2 came to iOS [...]
AVG Technologies Introduces AVG TuneUp for Android
I’ve harped on it often enough, but we all know it to be the truth: Smartphones suck up power like nobody’s business. It’s not surprising, really; when you hold in your hand enough computing power to track all the weather on the planet, make phone calls to your friends, search Wikipedia, play CPU-intensive games, and [...]
Tiny Tiny RSS: DIY Android Google Reader Replacement
I am still lamenting the decision Google made to kill off Google Reader. While I am generally ok with Feedly, I am actually in the same boat I was with Google Reader when I use another service like Feedly. If Feedly goes away, then I am stuck yet again. So I began searching for other [...]
RepeaterBook for Android App Review
Way back when I was first licensed in 1993 to use a HAM Radio, the first thing I wanted to do was to get on the 2m band and hop on a local repeater. How did I find them back then? Well I went to the local radio store and bought the latest edition of [...]
MiiPC, Android Family PC with Companion Mobile App
Kickstarter proposal for a new Android Family Mini PC with a companion mobile Android app The vast majority of attention when it comes to Android devices is in the tablet and smartphone arenas. After all, Android was developed specifically with mobile devices in mind; it’s not surprising that that’s where the action is. But the [...]
Google Sees Android OS Distribution Shift as it Changes Accounting Methods
Every month Google releases a report that details the distribution of the various Android operating system versions. These reports have long been used to see how slowly or quickly various versions are adopted and fade away. For as long as I could remember the accounting method used was simply having a device touched by Google [...]
Anatomy & Physiology REVEALED App Available for Android
I’m pleased to see that some publishing companies are taking up the gauntlet and trying to put out educational material using the powerful capabilities of tablet computers. McGraw-Hill has done so with their new Anatomy & Physiology REVEALED app which, while it has been available via iTunes, is now finally out there for Android, too. [...]
Games Portal Premium Service Offers Mobile Social Gaming on Verizon Android
Games Portal will be preloaded on millions of Verizon Android devices beginning in the second quarter of 2013. PlayPhone has announced a major new tier-one carrier partnership with Verizon for its mobile social gaming platform. Verizon did not disclose which device(s) would be first to come with Games Portal pre-installed. In 2010, Verizon launches their [...]
Braving the Gaming Conference Site to Hear About ComiXology
I’ve been a comic-book reader since way back — I used to own the first Mike Grell issue of “Legion of Super Heroes”, for example (and no, my Mom didn’t throw it out — it’s all my own stupid fault), and am old enough to have been around to get hooked on the X-Men right [...]
Garmin and Navigon Update iPhone Apps with BT Audio Support and Wikipedia Integration
I’m a cranky jerk when it comes to navigation software. Apple offers theirs for free, and I used it without any trouble for years; so when it comes to actually shelling out money for audio-enabled, turn-by-turn versions, I just, well, won’t. I don’t like some sweet young woman (or less frequently, man) telling me how [...]
Google Reader and Google Keep, You Get What You Pay For
Google Reader and Google Keep are two different services, but when placed side by side they offer a cautionary tale for anyone using the web. There has been a good deal of chat among the Gear Diary team on our backchannel, and Judie, Mike, Carly and I have been further discussing the demise of Reader [...]
Google Keep Review – Neat Freaks Need Not Apply
Yesterday Google launched a new service called Google Keep. After playing around with it a bit last night, I have a much better idea of what it can and can’t do, and what it really is. Will it be good enough to replace Evernote? Is it even close? In a word, no. Google Keep [...]
Google Keep Launches – Google’s Evernote and OneNote Answer
I was just starting to listen to This Week in Google live after work, when right before the show they shouted Google just launched Google Keep! I’ve already got it installed on my phones and my tablet. What IS Google Keep? It’s very similar to services like Evernote or OneNote. It’s designed to take notes, make checklists, and more. [...]
Neil Gaiman’s NeverWhere Radio Drama and Mobile Listening
Cast of BBC4 radio play of Neil Gaiman’s “NeverWhere” (Image courtesy of RadioTimes) I quite literally just took my headphones off after listening to a broadcast–and believe me, the word “broad” is appropriate here–of the first episode of a radio play of Neil Gaiman’s (absolutely wonderful–buy it immediately) book “Neverwhere”. I jumped right on WordPress [...]
