The non-contract smartphone industry keeps growing, and we can’t help but wonder if some of the more established players in that market are going to react. Virgin Mobile, for example, gives you $100 credit when you switch to the Sprint-owned contractless service. Virgin also offers yet another low-end Android phone from Kyocera, kings of the […]
Did you know Radio Shack sold cell service? Powered by Cricket, Radio Shack Wireless is yet one more company aimed at people who want month-to-month smartphone plans. RSW has a slightly lower range of options than most no-contract providers, with a total of five currently available handsets. The majority of those are manufactured by Huawei […]
The last time I bought an all-in-one PC was back in 1997. I was a senior in high school, and it was college application time. My family’s Apple IIc was significantly underpowered and ill-equipped for things like internet and CD-ROM use. With financial help from my folks, I went out and purchased an AST 75 […]

Lenovo’s been making an impressive push with its new wave of hardware. The company was kind enough to send us the new IdeaCentre B540 to give it a once over. As a regular user of Windows Vista and until a few months ago, a Windows XP user (I know!), I was excited to put a […]
There’s a new game in town. The Half The Sky Movement, which works to create opportunities for women around the world, has rolled out a new Facebook game with a charitable purpose. Half The Sky Movement: The Game allows players to follow an Indian woman named Radhika on her journey through her village and then around […]
To say that the Samsung Stratosphere was unpopular here at Techcitement would be putting it lightly. However, that was before Samsung became the new reigning champion of Android.
