Gear Live Turns 5, gets to wear big boy pants!

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Announcements, Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds

Gear Live

Whoa! Gear Live is now five years old—can you believe that? I sure can’t. It seems like it was just yesterday that I started up this little blog, to share my thoughts on consumer electronics in my spare time, and eventually getting a friend to help me post some news. Before we knew it, this become my full-time gig, and we were adding writers, and sections, left and right. Today, Gear Live has over 20,000 articles spread across our various sections, headed up by some of the best writers in the blogging game. We’ve got video shows, giveaways, and a social network that we are building as well. Regardless of how many things we’ve got going on from the past, we will always have some neat tricks up our collective sleeves in the future.

So how are we celebrating? Well, how about if we gave you presents? Since it’s our fifth birthday, we decided we would give away five Mophie Juice Pack Airs. After all, people are all over the if our numbers are correct (they are,) and what better way to celebrate than by doubling the battery life of your iPhone 3G or 3G S?

How do you enter? Simple. Just leave a reply in our ‘Gear Live Turns 5’ forum thread, letting us know what your favorite Gear Live story of all time happens to be. It can be a text update, or one of our videos. Just leave a link and tell us why you liked it. Once you’ve done that, head on over to Twitter and tweet the following:

“@gearlive Turns 5, and I just entered to win a Mophie Juice Pack Air! http://bit.ly/mophie-air” (Click here to tweet this now)

We will choose five random entries as our winners, and they’ll receive the Mophie Juice Pack Air for their troubles. Why should you want one? Check out our Mophie Juice Pack Air review. Now to start comparing kindergarten programs…

I LOVE the unboxings!!! Anything done by Michael Manna ROCKS! His enthusiasm for all things tech, his knowledge and sense of humor make for a fabulous vid!

I LOVED the 13” MBP unboxing! Not only is it a thing of beauty ... Michael did a great job as always!!!!!

Going with the original Iphone unboxing for favorite entry. That boggled my mind when it first posted. Funny to think about how it so quickly became a normal part of everyone’s vernacular.

Something about the un-boxing of Apple products sends me over the mon like Scooby Doo when he eats Scooby Snacks.

Unboxing Apple products is always pleasure. They pay attention to the details and got quality packets.  Thats why its worth every single cent , especially for Iphone or Ipod touch
