Techcitement knows that holiday gift buying can be a stressful thing for many people, so we’re going to help out this year by providing buying guides for a range of tech items. The holidays are a time when many are looking for an upgrade on their contracts to get a brand spanking new smartphone. Whether […]
According to V.P. of Marketing Tim Deluca-Smith at wireless service firm WDS, “Android is a bit of the Wild West” when it comes to handset reliability. Their recent study covering 600,000 technical support calls they took from customers in America, South Africa, Australia, and Europe shows higher percentages of hardware failures in various Android phones […]
When David Carnoy, an executive editor over at CNET, asked an official Apple Genius for help with his iPhone’s battery life, I don’t think he was prepared for their answer: turn it off to save your battery. I’m not making this up. Apparently, the official Apple Store technicians (referred to as Geniuses) say that leaving […]
With the launch of iOS 5 and Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) in the last couple of weeks, the question of Android fragmentation is in the news once again. This time, it’s taking the form of a chart, comparing the upgrade life of various Android devices to different versions of the iPhone. The results don’t […]
Remember that transition in 2001: A Space Odyssey where the monkey throws a bone into the air, and it turns into a spaceship? That’s what I just did by upgrading my Razr phone to an iPhone 4S. I’d had my Razr phone for seven years and it was nothing but good to me. Sturdy construction, […]

Yesterday, the tale reached a conclusion as Brian Hogan and his friend Sage Wallower both pleaded no contest to misdemeanor theft charges. The two receive one […]
Now that Apple officially announced the next iPhone revision, we can finally put an end to months of rumors and guesses about the handset itself. Judging by the lack of discussion in the press, most people apparently feel there’s nothing more to say about the addition of Sprint as a carrier offering the iPhone, too? […]
Forgive me, but this is going to be a bit of a rant. Apple ex-CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs passed away yesterday. The papers, internet, and social media are full of news and stories about the man, as well they should be. What’s insane is that the stock price has reportedly dropped ten points overnight. […]
Apple’s “Let’s Talk iPhone” event is now history, and we’d like to talk about iPods first. Apple unveiled a new Nano with tighter Nike+ integration and a new swiping interface instead of the old boring grid.
