While it is not clear if BlackBerry will be able to dig themselves out of the hole in which they currently find themselves with the deploy of their new Z10 (And if you want to know more about that device, be sure not to miss Judie’s absolutely epic review!), it’s a good sign that they’re [...]

BlackBerry 10 Launch Event to Be Held on January 30th, 2013
Apple launch events get all the press, don’t they? And while we here at Gear Diary are just as interested as the rest of the world when a new Apple launch event happens, that doesn’t mean that we don’t keep an eye on the other tech launch events. As you know, one of the things [...]
Venmo Wants to Be Your Mobile Alternative to Cash this Holiday Season
So okay, with the holiday buying and gifting season coming up quickly, any help you can find with locating, buying, and sending gifts has got to be appreciated, right? Yeah, things have hugely improved; I hardly even leave my house in December, honestly, hunkering down and going to Amazon and the Legos site and everywhere [...]
Instant Business Card to Contacts Conversion with INTSIG’s CamCard App
If you’re a member of the professional world, you’re probably used to pocketing business cards like a pro. You slide them right into your pocket, only to fumble them out later for the information you need. It’s not a terrible system. If you’re a smart phone owner, however, you’ll know how time-consuming it is to [...]
Kicking the Tires of OS 2.0 for Blackberry Playbook
When RIM first released the Blackberry PlayBook tablet, it was widely panned for not possessing some key ingredients critical to mobile device usage, such as native integrated email and calendar. It was, at first release, a powerful device hindered by it’s not being able to stand alone elegantly, as Dan reported a while back. My [...]
Blackberry PlayBook OS 2.0; Too Little Too Late?
It has been a long (LONG!!!) time coming but OS 2.0 for the BlackBerry Playbook is finally (FINALLY!!) available. It brings a native email client and the ability to run Android apps. (I should note that I was at the New York launch of the PlayBook and, at the time, this latter capability was said [...]
Evernote Essentials Extra: Remember the Rare
Many of the people I’ve turned onto Evernote find it invaluable. Others, however, underutilize the service and, as a result, don’t see what the big deal is. That’s where Evernote Essentials: The Definitive Getting Started Guide for Evernote by Brett Kelly comes in. As Brett explains: The amount of information we want and need to [...]
Evernote Essentials Extra: Howdy Neighbor
As much as I “harshed” on Evernote last week after they released two ridiculous iPhone apps the service remains a key part of every aspect of my life. I’ve also turned countless people onto Evernote, and many find it invaluable as well. Others however, underutilize the service and, as a result, don’t see what the big [...]
Sound ID is Back with the Sound iD SIX, a Siri-Ready Bluetooth Headset
I have had the opportunity to review each generation of Sound iD’s Bluetooth headsets. The first was a small but excellent device and with each generation the devices have gotten better and better. Now the company is back with their Sound iD SIX Series headset and it looks great. Here’s what the company has to [...]
RIM Offers iSpeech DriveSafe.ly Pro As First in a Package of Freebie Apps to Pacify BlackBerry Customers; Will It Work?
If you have a BlackBerry, then you doubt suffered through RIM’s outages last week. They want to make it up to you, and in order to do so they are offering free apps — the first of which rolls out today. Over the next four weeks you’ll have other apps to choose from, and this [...]
RIM’s Tablet Suddenly Becomes Useful as Evernote Arrives on BlackBerry PlayBook
Well would you look at this… the BlackBerry PlayBook just got a whole lot more useful! YEAH!!! Evernote just announced the release of an Evernote app for the PlayBook. Rather than simply port the tablet app from iOS or Android the Evernote team thought about the PlayBook, its 7″ size and its overall form factor when [...]
Would You Like an Invite to BlackBerry’s New BB Music Service?
image courtesy of BlackBerry Smartphones Week If you live in North America or the UK, and if you have a BlackBerry, you have no doubt heard about the new BlackBerry Music service that we mentioned earlier this week. $5 per month gets you 50 songs that you can share with your friends … but only if [...]
Music Diary Notes: RIM’s BBM Music Poses the Question: Perhaps Late is NOT Better than Never?
Imagine if back in 2006 someone told you that RIM was offering a music plan for the Blackberry that would allow you to get 50 songs per month, share them with all of your friends who also have a Blackberry, unlimited and on-demand. And that it would have cost $5 a month! You would likely [...]

Slacker Launches Slacker Premium Radio with On-Demand Access to Music Library
I’m a huge fan of Slacker Radio but I have to admit, it has been a little long in the tooth lately. I mean, they still haven’t got an iPad app which means you need to use the Slacker iPhone app at 2X resolution on your iPad. Ugly!! Moreover, services like RDIO have made selective [...]
