While AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are all going gaga for Windows Phone 8, the fourth major U.S. carrier has been staying out of it. I’m not sure I blame Sprint for doing so. The somewhat struggling carrier was badly burned by investing in the initial launch of webOS and the solitary Windows Phone 7 phone […]
For the last two years, Amazon Wireless has been the best place to go to score cutting edge cellphones during the big holiday shopping season. A few years ago,the online retailing giant had every single smartphone for a penny, including then-$199 top of the line devices. Amazon has gone live with a “4G phones for […]
When looking to save money on gadgets, there’s one place many people may not think to look: the human resources department. In many cases, being employed by a certain company entitles you to a discount with various vendors. Cell phone companies in particular tend to shave a decent percentage off if you have the right […]
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 […]
Windows Phone 8 is here and for the first time in a long time, the general public seems interested in a Windows smartphone. Microsoft has heard the complaints from Windows Phone 7 users who wanted more apps. The previous attempt at a mobile OS lacked such stalwarts as Pandora and, curiously as Microsoft owns it, […]
Hurricane Sandy, the massive storm that battered the Northeast yesterday, is estimated to have an estimated cost of about $20 billion worth of damage. Power is out for millions, known deaths are in the double digits (and likely to rise sharply after things calm down), public transportation is disrupted on an unprecedented level, the U.S. […]
While it’s true that Open webOS has successfully been ported to several devices in Alpha form, that’s a long way from being useful. Yes, HP’s spun off gram division announced Open webOS Professional, a version of its open source OS that will incorporate HP’s cloud services such as Synergy (not included in the non-Professional flavor). […]
I’m often asked by friends what laptop they should buy. As my home system is designed around Apple devices, those friends are surprised when I almost always answer, “Lenovo.” My first laptop was a ThinkPad 380. In the almost 20 years that I’ve been using and repairing laptops, I’ve always found the Thinkpad line to […]
Have I really not covered MacHeist here before? My apologies. OTC does tend to focus a bit on hardware, but let’s not forget the expense of software as well. MacHeist offers great bundle deals, and for the next 24 hours, the site is offering a hell of a deal. The MacHeist 4 Bundle not only […]
Samsung just loves the Galaxy line. With each generation of Galaxy S flagships, Apple’s main rival has spun off countless side devices. When the Galaxy II was the flagship, there were a bevy of original Galaxy S-based devices. Now that the S III is king, I keep hoping that we’ll see S II generation technology […]
