Jabra Revo Wireless Headphones Review
I offered a first look at the Jabra Revo Wireless Headphones last week. We now have a firm price and shipping date- they will be available starting March 25th and will cost $249- so I wanted to offer up a more complete look at these rather pricey headphones. I covered a good bit of the [...]
Globalgig Now Offers Inexpensive International Data in More Countries
When it comes to connectivity I’m spoiled. I spend the vast majority of my time either at home or the office and both are locations have high-speed Internet. And when I am out I usually have decent connectivity and relatively good speed. That means I’m able to get the information I want pretty much where [...]
Withings Smart Devices Now Support Android
Android support for Withings’ Smart Baby Monitor and the Wireless Scale announced at MWC It used to be that the interconnectivity of gadgets in your house was expected Real Soon Now, but it didn’t seem like it would ever arrive. When I went to see the move “The Sixth Day”, for example, the refrigerator that [...]
FCC Cellular Signal Boosters Certification Specifications Adopted Today
I’ve made no secret of the fact that if it weren’t for the Wilson Electronics AG Pro 75 Celluar Signal Booster, mobile phone service at my house would be pitiful; we would have likely had to incur the (possibly substantial) expense of putting in a landline. I live outside a rural community and in the middle [...]
Calypso NFC iPhone Case Now Available
In case you were unaware (as I was for the longest time), “NFC” means “near field communication”. It is related to the method that is used in a lot of employee ID cards, the ones that you wave in the general direction of a dark receiver thingee near a door, and BEEP, it recognizes you [...]

Wilson Electronics’ New Sleek 4G Signal Booster Will Keep Your Connection Solid
If you are on the road a lot, then you know all about what it’s like to have your cellular signal act in a less than reliable manner. Watching your 4G/LTE signal drop down to zilch, then slide over to EDGE, 3G and then ultimately climb back to 4G — depending upon where you area, [...]
JBL Announces the Charge and OnBeat Rumble, We’ll Check Out at CES
I was pleasantly surprised by the JBL Flip that I had reviewed last month. It joins the ranks of small Bluetooth speakers like the JawBone JamBox and Jabra SoleMate (both of which are terrific), but it comes in at under $100. I didn’t expect much from it and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the [...]
StarTech.com’s Wireless HD Extender Kit enables connections up to 100ft
In a world where you can stream stuff from a cloud server pretty much anywhere, and where you have an Apple TV unit or some other box that converts the incoming bits and sends ‘em to your TV, the big thing is bandwidth and range, right? The last thing you want, when you’re used to [...]
Stay Connected on Your Japan Trip with XCom Global/Boingo Wireless
I’ve wanted to go to Japan ever since I saw “Shogun” when I was in High School. (During it’s first run on TV–yes, I really am that old.) I’ve read travel guides, history books, novels, watched Kirosawa movies, and plenty of other things to feed my interest. Unfortunately, such a trip is not in the [...]
Raspberry Pi Hacked to Allow Siri to Open Your Garage Door
What a world we live in – We now have computers that fit in our pockets, gorgeous televisions that are 1″ thick, and a dude who skydived from the edge of space. Continuing along that vein, now you can program your credit card sized computer, otherwise known as the Raspberry Pi, to open your garage [...]
The Importance of Reading Customer Reviews
Sarah and I are staying with my parents temporarily, and overall it is working out well. However, there is one issue that makes life difficult: the WiFi reception in my parents’ home is terrible. The router sits all the way on one side of the house, and picking up signal in our room (downstairs and [...]
SwannSmart Remote Camera Gives You Piece of Mind
We spend summers and many vacation breaks up in Pennsylvania. Much of the year, however, the house is unoccupied. And while we have neighbors who keep an eye on it for us, there’s nothing like seeing for ourselves that everything is okay. The SwannSmart camera should let us do that and a whole lot more. [...]
Flomio Rolls Out Its Latest Product, the FloCase, to Bring NFC to Apple iOS Devices
In the ordinary course of events, we here at Gear Diary don’t usually tell you twice about the same Kickstarter project. We don’t have the time or space, and we don’t like to repeat ourselves. But in this case, this is a pretty major addition to an ongoing Kickstarter project that we mentioned only a [...]
