Today, Google added to its ever-widening reach into everything you do by releasing the specs for its Google Glasses and adding even more channels to its lineup to make you jealous of cities who have, or soon will have, Google Fiber. Of particular interest in regards to Google Glasses is that the audio is delivered […]

Review: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 — Big Name, Big Tablet
Call me a Luddite, but despite the ubiquity of tablet computing over the last few years, I don’t always get the point of them. Tablets are often too big to replace a smartphone and don’t always have the processing power of a laptop or desktop. If I want to listen to music, a smaller device […]
Review: Samsung Galaxy Note II, The Big And Small Of It
When Samsung announced the first Galaxy Note in 2011, it was met with confusion, disbelief, and some snickers. The idea of a phone with 5.3 inch screen seemed absurd. We were just getting used to the idea of 4” 4.3” 4.5” 4.65” phones, and here was a phone that seemed to be questioning whether it […]
Review: Motorola Brings QWERTY Expertise To Sprint With Photon Q
Motorola has long been one of the strongest Android phone makers. While Samsung may get higher numbers and HTC a bit more of the mind share, Motorola’s original Droid for Verizon is arguably the phone that made Android take off as more than just “not iPhone.” The line is so successful that many users dub […]
Review: Does Kyocera’s Rise Get The Worm?
Let’s be blunt, Kyocera doesn’t have the best reputation as a cellphone maker. Known for making budget phones that feel cheap in the hand, with dated operating systems and limited features, Kyocera is hardly any Techcitement writer’s “go to” company. In fact, we generally consider those phones to be barely a step up from feature […]
Amazon Anticipates New iPhone By Slashing Galaxy S III Price
Today is going to be a big day for Apple. Every time the computing giant has an announcement, a ton of pundit opinions emerge and interest rises from the non-tech press that few other tech announcements get. You even see it in the weeks beforehand, as outlets everywhere discuss laundry lists of rumors. Not wanting […]
Sony IFA Roundup: It’s A Desktop, It’s A Tablet, It’s — Both?
Sony has unveiled several interesting devices at the IFA Trade show in Berlin today. While many were standards, one stood out. To begin with, Sony continues to add new Android phones to the company’s Xperia line. Today, the world got to see the Xperia T, Xperia V, and the Xperia J. All three phones will […]
Virgin And Boost Dole Out Ice Cream Sandwich
It feels like it was only last week that the Techcitement writing staff was complaining amongst themselves about the slow adoption of Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Despite the fact that 4.1 (Jelly Bean) is already out, you can count the ICS devices out there on your hands. Boost Mobile and Virgin, one of the […]
Busy Week For MetroPCS: New Handsets, New Pricing, And New Attitude
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 […]
Review: Virgin Mobile EVO V 4G Wants You To Despoil It
The biggest plus of a service like Virgin Mobile is that you can save a lot of money using no-contract phone service, as long as you pay up-front for a phone. The biggest minus, however, is that the available phones were not much to write home about. Sure, the HTC Wildfire and Motorola Triumph are […]
