Amazon Prime is a heck of a thing. You get two-day shipping at no additional cost,video streaming, all-access music streaming, unlimited photo storage, and access to the Kindle lending library. It’s also not cheap, running $99 a year. Sure, that’s only $8 a month, but what if it were cheaper? If you sign up this Saturday, […]

CES 2015 Brings The Nostalgia Factor With Polaroid, Sony, Dell, And Palm
You may have noticed a lack of CES 2015 coverage on Techcitement. To be honest, it’s all been a bit overwhelming. So far, many of our favorite companies have announced impressive new devices. We’re dying to test them all. One thing that’s struck us is how many devices at an event that looks at upcoming […]
New Phone Or Tablet, Make This Your Tech New Year’s Resolution
Now that we’re safely in the new year, there’s something I want, nay something I must share with you. A good portion of you probably received a new tablet or phone this holiday season. Flurry.com reports a slim majority were iOS devices, but even if you were in the minority, you still have a brand new device […]
Review: Doppler Labs’s Dubbs Want To Save Your Ears
Every now and then, Techcitement will get something a bit different to review. In this case, it’s Doppler Labs’s Dubbs. Despite what you may think, these are not earplugs. Get that thought right out of your head. Rather, these are “acoustic filters”, which is completely different. The goal here is not to cut out all […]
Review: Sharp’s AQUOS Crystal Has One Clear Advantage
While smaller companies keep trying to beat Apple and Samsung out for at least a level of brand recognition, for the most part, those two companies rule the roost while HTC, LG, and Motorola vie to keep up at the edges as Kyocera, ZTE, and Alcatel battle it out for the mid-range and low-end. With all […]
On The Cheap: Amazon Brandishes Fire Stick; Shoots Special Price At Prime Members
Despite Apple calling the Apple TV a “hobby”, TV streamers are big business. Amazon has been doing a great job of selling the still-fairly-new Fire TV system. Voice search and integration with Prime Instant Video have been big points in favor, but not so much the $99 price tag. After all, you can get same […]
Samsung Bringing A True Wrist-phone To The U.S. This Fall
The headline really says it all, folks. Starting this fall, you can get an actual smartwatch phone on all four major U.S. carriers. Unlike Android Wear devices or the Apple Watch, the Samsung Gear S is a full-featured mobile device rather than a companion device. Another way the Gear S is different? It runs Samsung’s own […]
Drop Aims To Make Your Kitchen Measurably Smarter
Confession: When Techcitement saw the Drop being demoed at a recent event, we almost walked right past it. A connected scale? Big deal. Except the Drop is more than a scale that shows results on your tablet (iOS only for now, Android coming soon). The goal with Drop isn’t just connectivity, but contextual awareness. You […]
HP Brings Quality To Budget Computing With The Stream Line
For the last few months, there’s been a rumor that HP was going to announce a laptop for under $200. People were let down when the initial 14″ Stream was announced at the still-pretty-good-if-you-ask-me price of $299. It turns out HP wasn’t done just yet. It turns out though that the Stream isn’t a product, […]
ScanSnap Serves Up Image Capture Options In Grande, Vente, And Trenta
Way back in 2011, Techcitement got to run the ScanSnap S1100 through the paces. We were impressed and it has come in handy for sudden scan needs. Except as you all know, tech doesn’t sit still. What has the company been up to since? For one thing, there’s the impressive looking update to the S1100, as […]
