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: 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 […]
Safety Tech: Self-security In The 21st Century
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 […]
First Impressions: Upgrading From iPhone 5s To 6
Unless your home address is under a large rock in the middle of a desert, you’ve surely read or watched plenty of media coverage of Apple’s latest smartphone by now.

Apple Knows What It Takes To Get You To Keep Buying iPhones
Variety reports that Apple has already made over four million pre-sales for the iPhone 6 and 6+, and that’s just in the first 24 hours since the announcement. This is contrary to expectations. After all, what does the iPhone 6 add that’s so new? Not only did we have the typical “evolutionary, not revolutionary” complaints, but […]
Hands On With The Sharp Aquos Crystal From Sprint
Sprint hosted a “Take the Edge” off event in New York City the other day. There wasn’t too much mystery, especially when one got there and saw the Sharp logo all over the place. As predicted by almost every website, the new Sharp/Sprint device was a no-bezel device dubbed the Sharp Aquos Crystal. You might […]
On The Cheap: SwiftKey Goes Free
Just typing on soft keyboards is out of fashion. Nowadays it’s all about swiping. The functionality is already built into the last two versions of the Android keyboard, will be part of Windows Phone 8.1 and is even going to be part of iOS 8 via 3rd parties. One of those third parties will be one […]
Killswitch Engage!
Hey, remember Killswitch Engage? The metalcore band formed back in 1999 from bands like Aftershock and Overcast? Not as popular as Atreyu? Those guys. Well, this article isn’t about them. This is about why your cellphone doesn’t have a remotely activated kill switch that you can use to brick your phone when it gets […]
Windows Phone 8.1 Comes Calling
Windows Phone has long been an operating system that sort of interested me, but I can’t see myself in a relationship with it. It’s a flirtatious acquaintance when there are better options out there to have a relationship with. Microsoft announced the 8.1 update this week, and I have to admit that the temptation has […]
