About: Writing an introduction for one’s self isn’t really an easy task. You try to think about things to say, but everything sounds cocky and conceited. Then I start to think… this is Gear Patrol after all, so how would I review myself?
Well, it’s safe to say I’m a big enthusiast of all things “gear” related. You can expect no shortage of posts covering a large range. It’s safe to say I lean on the sarcastic side and sometimes my humor might be out there, but that’s just what I do. (Ed: sarcastic writers at GP? surely you jest…) Whether it’s playing video games, paintball, working on cars, I like to immerse myself in all types of things. I consider myself a jack of all trade, a master of some and adventurous enough to try most things once.
Career wise I’m a Systems Administrator and served in the Air Force for 8 years - having spent time in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and South Korea.
I am originally from the Republic of Panama where I was born and raised, but spent some time residing in the states as my father was in the military and on the go. I currently live in Fort Walton Beach, which is a laid back spot with white sandy beaches and emerald green water. Don’t be jealous.
What does this mean to you: Plenty of rhetoric describing your soon to be favorite gear. Grab a brew, because I’m sure I’ll be having one, and let the reviews roll…

Airsharing
Best File Sharing Tool iPhone App: Mount your iPhone to your PC/MAC as a wireless drive and drag and drop files as you please. It has the ability to view files in many formats and is compatible with most popular OS’s. Now you don’t have to worry about losing that 30gig, tiny-ass thumb drive cause you used it in a vending machine.
$4.99 on 
i.tv
Best Movie/TV/Listings iPhone App: One stop shop for movie listings, theater locations, previews, and the almighty TV guide. Browse through TV listings in your area based off your provider and the user generated content lets you know what’s up.
Free on
Facebook
Best (Only) Facebook Addicts iPhone App: I like using this app more than I like actually logging onto Facebook from my PC. Simple, clean, and without all the other mess cluttering up what you’re really trying to look at.

Camerabag
Best iPhone Photo Enhancer App: Camera bag is a must-have if you use your iPhone to take a lot of pics. It allows you to spice up your pictures using different styles of emulation. Miss the white borders and saturated look of your pics when getting crazy with the Polaroid? Yearn no more…
$2.99 on
Twitterfon
Best Twitter iPhone App: I’m all about keeping things simple and clean. There are various Twitter clients out there and, after using most of them, twitterfon did it for me. I just can’t imagine checking out what’s going on with our new Twitter feed at @GearPatrol without it.

Great list. However, I disagree with Pandora and replace it with Slacker’s iPhone app. I’ve tried both and had better luck with Slacker. Not only does it have 6x the more music, but you don’t get random songs that don’t match your request and it tracks better in a moving vehicle.
good looking out Matt W. I’ll have to check Slacker out. I was content with Pandora once I used it and never really ventured out.
Apps I love: Amazon Kindle App, Carpenter and Ambiance
I agree with Matt. I like Slacker a heckuva lot better than Pandora.
Oh, BTW, guys, the link on page 4 that's SUPPOSED to take you to page 5 is for page 4.

My favorites are: Ancient Frog, iArcherfish and Kindle too. But the list above is quite a good selection.
TOUCH CRICKET =] =] =]
slacker is horrible…it only let me listen to one station and skip 6 times and then it wouldn't let me do anything else for an hour…Pandora lets u listen to more then 6 songs an hour and get 6 skips per station per hour
