June is normally the time of year when we see deals aimed at graduates. Sony and Microsoft, however, are targeting new college students. Both tech giants are offering a free game system with purchase of a new desktop or laptop with show of proof of college attendance. Microsoft actually kicked this off in late May. […]
Last week, I wrote up a list of what mobile operating systems I’m considering to replace my current one. My end result was Android, as its the most webOS-like solution for now. I noted that today’s World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) might change things vis-à-vis iOS and boy, did it. Just not in the way […]
I’m a diehard webOS user. My TouchPad is my daily workhorse, and I love the thing. Until a few weeks ago, I was still using my Palm Pre+ (hacked to run on Sprint). However, a recent contract change added Sprint’s $10 data access fee. As much as I love my Pre, I am not not […]
Virgin Mobile, a pre-pay division of Sprint Wireless, has announced that it will add the iPhone 4 and 4S to their handset offerings as of June 29. This comes scant days after Cricket Wireless, another pre-pay giant, made a similar announcement. All this pre-pay action is making some of us wonder what’s in store for […]
Back before we even had the term social network, LinkedIn debuted with their online personal networking solution. Targeting people who wanted to build work connections, I distinctly recall signing up for it and thinking “and now what?” I still use my account, but only because the tool I use to update my Twitter and Facebook […]
Good news, everyone. You can stop being so envious of European techies. While they’ve been lucky enough to have Samsung’s new flagship for a month now, we in the U.S. can get our hands on it this month. Samsung announced that the device will come out shortly for multiple U.S. carriers. T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon […]
Another week, another trade show. This time it’s the Computex 2012 show. It’s always interesting to look at the trends in what’s being reported at such events, and this year I’m seeing one big, yet unsurprising trend — touch. In the last few years, heavy tablet adoption on top of years of touchscreen smartphone […]
Part of being techcited is not wanting to wait too long for the latest tech. As such, we were really down when the Evo 4G LTE (and HTC One X) were held at the border. The delayed smartphones began trickling in last week for eager beavers who had pre-ordered, but it’s only today that we’ve […]
One of my personal netiquette rules is that I try to never, ever read the comment section of a new site. For all the legitimate, insightful comments accompanying an article, there are generally a dozen inanities. We’re not always talking trolling — sometimes it’s just someone who thinks they’re funny or who honestly feels […]
Ah, temptation. You see a device just sitting there, say an iPhone, so you decide to swipe it. Except, it turns out that you’re not too technically inclined, and you don’t take the time to erase it. Unbeknownst to you, the iPhone starts saving the photos you’re snapping to the original owner’s PhotoStream. Oops. According […]
