Garmin just bought MetriGear, a Silicon Valley company that has created the pedal-based power solution for cycling for improving athletic performance in cycling and other sports. Their product is the Vector which is a pedal-based power solution that integrates MetriGear’s custom force and motion sensor platform into the spindles of bicycle pedals to measure a cyclist’s performance. It even enables the independent measurement of pedal force for each leg. It looks like the latest Edge 800 and Vector will be merged into a package soon, communicating using the ANT+ technology to track your speed, power, distance, time, elevation, calories burned and everything else in between

The Lite version of the excellent 2Do task management app has been pulled from the App Store because it was so good that it was cannibalizing sales of the real 2Do ($6.99). I have a feeling people might be a little ticked off about this move, but developer Guided Ways does seem to have presented their motives pretty well on their forums (via @GuidedWays ).

Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary! This is one of those blockbuster weeks, led by Medal of Honor , the latest war shooter to move from the 1940′s to the modern era and bring plenty of controversy with it! This also seems to be the week of the ‘Game of the Year’ editions – we have Uncharted 2 , Borderlands , and the Dragon Age: Origins – Ultimate Edition , all of which add some great stuff at a collection price. The DS and PC have strong showings this week. The DS gets Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals and Super Scribblenauts , while the PC gets Dynasty Warriors Online , the sequel-expansion The Guild 2: Renaissance , and the mediocre (already out for consoles) Lost Planet 2 . My most anticipated game – ArcaniA – Gothic 4 – was delayed for a week for some odd reason.

I’m not sure why, but developer Fabian Kreiser has just announced that Icebird (normally $1.99 or 2.99, I believe) is going free for the rest of the day. If you’re looking for an ultra pretty, extra roomy Twitter client, then download the app now, and ask questions later.

It’s been quite a drama-filled weekend for the iOS jailbreak arena. Yesterday Geohot made an ‘out of nowhere’ release of his new limera1n jailbreak , and today the Chronic Dev team have postponed the release of their much-hyped and much-anticipated GreenPois0n jailbreak. The reason for the delay is that Geohot’s jailbreak uses a different exploit (security hole) to work than the one used in GreenPois0n, and the Chronic Dev team (and others in the jailbreak community) feel that it would be a big mistake to release two jailbreaks using two different exploits right now, as it would make Apple’s job easier in patching both – not a great move in the ongoing cat and mouse game that jailbreak is.

Ever since the release of Apple’s iPhone 4 and the storm it has been creating in the telecom world, I have been wondering how the other major mobile phone giants could ever hope to cope with this. But my thoughts have been proven absolutely wrong by Nokia when it announced its 3 new smartphones – Nokia C6, C7 & E7 and also showcased Nokia N8 at the Nokia World 2010 held in London(14th

Analysis: PayPal’s deposit feature seems best-suited for those little checks for which it’s a hassle to to a bank — especially since the process is not speedy. PayPal added check deposit capabilities to its iPhone app last week, and hey, I just got a check in the mail. Let’s see how PayPal handles the job. Before you start , PayPal hits you with a bunch of disclaimers.

If you’ve been waiting in the wings for the next Jailbreak to be release you should know there’s been a bit of a speed bump. [ChronicDevTeam], which has been working on an exploit for A4-based iOS devices called SHAtter,  tweeted last Thursday that the fully tested, untethered, and unpatchable package knows as greenpois0n would be released today. But on Friday [Geohot], who you may remember from the PlayStation 3 Hypervisor exploit , rolled out his own mostly untested and admittedly beta jailbreak called limera1n . So where does that leave the situation? Because [geohot] used a different exploit, the [ChronicDevTeam] decided not to release greenp0ison

TmoNews, a site dedicated to information on T-Mobile USA, has published what it claims to be internal T-Mobile slides that provide information on the company’s upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab Android tablet – including the price. The slide lists the Galaxy Tab as being available for $399 with a 2 year contract (after a $50 mail-in rebate), or available at a “dealer price” of $649.99

A few months back I got the opportunity to try out a checkpoint-friendly bag, and I have to say I was convinced.  If you’re a frequent traveler, or simply sick to friggin’ death about the undress-and-unpack kabuki dance at airports these days, you should seriously consider getting one–they definitely make life at check-through easier. And now good ol’ GD sponsor Skooba is offering a couple of new bags in the checkpoint-friendly category

Remember when I said Verizon isn’t ready for the iPhone? Forget it. Citing an anonymous source in direct contact with Apple , The New York Times on Friday confirmed that the two companies plan to introduce an iPhone 4 for Verizon’s network “early next year.” Crow, meet mouth. Mouth, crow. (Nom nom nom.) So far, we don’t have any of the details of the arrangements between Apple and Verizon.

Well, I sit at my keyboard typing on the eve of Microsoft’s “Big Event”. Tomorrow at 9:30am EDT in New York City, Steve Ballmer will unveil the long-awaited Windows Phone 7 platform (for those interested, the press conference will be live streaming here ). For those who are involved with or follow the smartphone market closely, October 11th 2010 marks a day a long time in the making. I have had the great fortune to be quite close to all of the events of the last several years leading up to tomorrow, be they good or bad.

No, we don’t mean ‘superstar’ in the celebrity sense of the ward. What the National ignition Facility has been laboring over since 1997 is the creation of a “miniature star of Earth”—think of our sun—contained in a chamber where its energy can be converted into power. Lots and lots (and lots) of power. Said power is limitless, by the way

It has been quite a while since I visited our local mall. I was on my way to see if the Apple Store had the latest Apple TV available for purchase and was surprised to see this monstrosity….. …..a massive billboard announcing the new Microsoft Store spanning nearly three storefronts in length. The billboard is masking their new store within. I thought it humorous that it is located only three doors down from the Apple Store.

Section: Communications , Cellular Providers , Smartphones , Mobile It looks like those sporting an Android 2.1 running device will soon be getting (or have already) an update to the Android Market. This update is sneaky and comes without any effort on your part, thankfully though it brings a nice feature—the ability to automatically update app. The version of the Market is ‘version 2007’ which can be verified by going to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications and then scrolling down to and selecting Market. Once there you should see the version number towards the top. Or perhaps a little easier is to simply launch the Market and choose an app, any app should do and then look for the “Allow automatic updating” along with the check box
