Remember when Altec Lansing was the name in portable audio? I remember getting an Altec Lansing iPod dock for my bar mitzvah almost 10 years ago. That device was amazing and lasted until it was stolen from my luggage on an unlucky flight years later. Since then, Altec Lansing and I hadn’t been acquainted, but […]]]>
CES 2015 Brings The Nostalgia Factor With Polaroid, Sony, Dell, And Palm https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/ces-2015-brings-the-nostalgia-factor-with-polaroid-sony-dell-and-palm/ https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/ces-2015-brings-the-nostalgia-factor-with-polaroid-sony-dell-and-palm/#comments Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:33:49 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=21813

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 […]]]>

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: Adonit Wants You To Take Stylus In Hand With The Jot Touch and Script https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/review-adonit-wants-you-to-take-stylus-in-hand-with-the-jot-touch-and-script/ Mon, 05 Jan 2015 14:07:33 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=21783

For these stylus pens, we asked an artist to do a guest review. Travis Hanson is an Eisner-nominated fantasy illustrator with a huge imagination. His works include comics, children’s art, fantasy, and just fun illustrations that encourage the need for people to be creative. For more information on Harris’s works, rates and ideas, check out his site. As […]]]>
The Obsolescence Of The DSLR Camera https://techcitement.com/hardware/the-obsolescence-of-the-dslr-camera/ https://techcitement.com/hardware/the-obsolescence-of-the-dslr-camera/#comments Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:14:45 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=21677

SLR cameras have long been a staple of photography, dating back to the days of film. Short for Single Lens Reflex, the SLR gets its moniker from a spring loaded mirror behind the lens which reflects the view from the lens back up to the user.  When the shutter button on an SLR is pressed, […]]]>

Safety Tech: Self-security In The 21st Century https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/safety-tech-self-security-in-the-21st-century/ Mon, 03 Nov 2014 15:17:30 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=21615

Recently, a video was released of a woman, Shoshana Roberts, walking through the streets of New York, being harassed as she goes. Putting aside issues (and there are issues) of the races that were edited out, it’s important to note that her experience was quite sadly typical for a New Yorker. The culture of the New […]]]>
Samsung Bringing A True Wrist-phone To The U.S. This Fall https://techcitement.com/hardware/samsung-bringing-a-true-wrist-phone-to-the-us-this-fall/ https://techcitement.com/hardware/samsung-bringing-a-true-wrist-phone-to-the-us-this-fall/#comments Thu, 23 Oct 2014 17:15:35 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=21549

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 https://techcitement.com/hardware/gadgets/drop-aims-to-make-your-kitchen-measurably-smarter/ Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:00:11 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=21581

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 […]]]>
ScanSnap Serves Up Image Capture Options In Grande, Vente, And Trenta https://techcitement.com/hardware/scansnap-serves-up-image-capture-options-in-grande-vente-and-trenta/ https://techcitement.com/hardware/scansnap-serves-up-image-capture-options-in-grande-vente-and-trenta/#comments Mon, 20 Oct 2014 16:37:37 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=21571

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 […]]]>

Amazon Unleashes A Flood Of Kindle Updates, Including One For Your Guppies https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/amazon-unleashes-a-flood-of-kindle-updates-including-one-for-your-guppies/ https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/amazon-unleashes-a-flood-of-kindle-updates-including-one-for-your-guppies/#comments Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:44:39 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=21534

Amazon’s Kindle line is one of the biggest recent success stories in consumer electronics. With a custom Android OS, Amazon prices them lower than other vendors because it’s seen as a “digital shopping cart” to consume the e-tailing giant’s products. Last night, Amazon unveiled a whole ton of updates, including one parents will love. Before we […]]]>
