As a Verizon customer, I’m not used to seeing a lot of the low- to mid-range Android smartphones that have flooded the market the last few years. For that matter, they’re not typically what we see here at Techcitement, either. So, the Samsung Gravity Smart is a bit of a departure for me, and I […]
Cloud music services are all the rage for mobile devices these days. Whether it’s Apple’s iCloud, Amazon’s Cloud Player, Google’s Music Beta, Spotify, or any number of others, the best way to get music on your phone no longer involves wires. Unless, that is, you have a BlackBerry, in which case you’ve been out in […]
In the wake of HP’s announcement last week that they were discontinuing WebOS hardware, the tech world has been quick to pronounce the death of the late Palm’s mobile platform.

The last week has brought a series of astonishing events to the streets of London. Looting, burning, at least 5 people are dead, thousands are in jail, and there has been over $350 million in property damage. It’s not the kind of scene you see every day, especially in a modern western democracy like the […]
The iPod has fundamentally changed music in a lot of ways, mostly for the better. It drove the music industry to accept digital distribution models, rather than selling us whole albums when we only want two or three tracks. It created the option to carry your whole music collection with you, instead of a handful […]
Google has decided to change the mobile world. Again. Google CEO Larry Page announced this morning that Google will purchase Motorola Mobility for $40 per share, or roughly $12.5 billion.
