Amazon just finished its press event, and as a friend said, “after watching that live stream, I need a cigarette.” Like any good seduction, Amazon started slow. The Kindle Paperwhite, a $119 e-reader is impressive, yes, but that’s ssuming you’re willing to spend that much on a a one-trick pony. Sure, the Paperwhite looks amazing, […]
The Lenovo IdeaTab S1209a is quite obviously Lenovo’s answer to Apple’s iPad. The IdeaTab has a 9.7 inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768, identical to the original iPad and iPad 2. Lenovo’s tablet is sleek at a thin 0.35 inches and a light 1.3 pounds, lighter than Apple’s new iPad and on […]
We may have not been all that impressed by MetroPCS’s first LTE device, but that doesn’t mean Techcitement isn’t paying attention to the plucky provider. It’s hard not to, when executives actually have the stones to slam the iPhone in print. For those who don’t want to click away (thank you), COO Tom Keys is […]
Many of us were glued to the computer last night, watching NASA’s latest Mars mission. The Curiosity, a new exploratory vehicle, was successfully dropped/flung to the Martian surface. Some have pointed out the interesting fact that Apple’s iPhone 4s is four times more powerful than the new rover. This has an additional cool factor too […]
The Nexus Q is a strange device at $299 for a simple media streamer that doesn’t have half the functionality of a much cheaper Apple TV or Roku box. Perhaps that’s why Google has delayed the launch of the overpriced sphere, sending emails out to people who pre-ordererd the device that they’ll have to wait […]
Apple recently released its eighth version of Max OS X with Mountain Lion. Priced at only $19.99 as an Apple App Store internet download, Mountain Lion promises over 200 innovative new features. The highlights include: Full iCloud integration for easy set up of your Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Messages, Reminders and Notes, and keeping everything (including […]
RIM (Research in Motion) is dying. That’s been evident since the release of the iPhone by Apple all the way back in 2007. Instead of immediately going to work on a new platform to compete with the iOS enemy, RIM insisted physical keyboards were the way to go and that touchscreens were a fad. Even […]
Apple’s been doing well in the lawsuit department lately. Sure, Apple’s patent case against Motorola was thrown out of court, but the company that Jobs built managed to seriously delay HTC’s recent hot phones earlier this month. Now, it’s struck a major blow against Samsung. A federal judge in California has ruled that the Galaxy […]
It seems like only yesterday when Apple announced its new line of notebooks with unibody aluminum cases and a dramatic change to chiclet keyboard keys (first seen in the MacBooks and then adopted across the product line). While this keyboard design wasn’t an Apple invention by any means, it’s rarely seen on modern computers. I […]
Apple’s iPod Nano has morphed into many different form factors throughout its various generations. The mini music player’s most recent iterations have given the public a small touchscreen square, seemingly perfect to use as a watch. One of the first companies to take a stab at giving this to the public is Lunatik, a company […]
