While Techcitement has given a glowing, if quick, review to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, one feature we only touched on is the operating system. Because I’ve been shopping around for a new operating system ever since HP decided to ditch the phone business, this is a good time to put Android 4.0 a.k.a. Ice Cream […]
I really don’t want to become That Guy — the kind of guy who rails on and on about the superiority of his niche or failed tech (see: Betamax, DiVX disks, Newton PDAs, etc). But it’s hard to keep from doing that after reading the article titled “In Flop of H.P. TouchPad, an Object Lesson […]

As much as I love my HP TouchPad, I’m not a huge fan of touch-typing on the screen. While I honestly think webOS has the best onscreen keyboard of any tablet I’ve used, there’s still something to be said for the feel of real keys under one’s fingers. Recently I’ve been using a basic tablet […]
A while back we told you about Republic Wireless, a company that was offering unlimited talk, text, and data for twenty bucks. Despite seeming tailor-made for our On The Cheap series, we never followed up. That was because we found the catch: while calls over WiFi would be free, any use of the actual cell […]
As I’ve mentioned ad-nauseum in my cellphone reviews, I’m not a huge fan of device manufacturers’ “skinning” of operating systems. While much of that can be chalked up to personal taste, there’s also the demonstrated fact that they directly impact future updates. Sony’s RachelUI kept the Xperia x10 from getting Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) until fairly […]
In what’s turned into a trilogy of Virgin Mobile Android handsets, let’s turn our attention to the Motorola Triumph. Heftier than the Wildfire S, the Triumph’s 5.04 oz bulk is easy to ignore thanks to the 4.1″ screen. The screen is much better than the other choices on Virgin. Note that caveat. If you run […]
While we lauded the Asus Transformer Prime tablet in our buying guide, the folks at Hasbro are not feeling the love. If you’re a Transformers fan, then you likely know that the suffix Prime has a bit of history with the brand. Honestly, I was a bit surprised they didn’t got after LG for the […]
From our “I Thought it Was Just Me” department, Verizon Wireless is in the middle of a massive data outage. No news on the reason for the outage, but we’ll keep you posted. This would happen when I’m trying to download the “free for the next two days” Duke Nuk’em 3d. And, yes, we know […]
In a stunning display of bowing to what just about everyone else wants, AT&T has announced they won’t merge with T-Mobile USA. This isn’t too much of a shock after the FCC tutted at them last month. Don’t cry for T-Mobile though. Thanks to a clever agreement, they’re walking away from the table with four […]
Everyone knows the saying “those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.” Everyone, it seems, except Research in Motion (RIM). I know I’ve been harsh on the makers of the BlackBerry before, but that’s because I’m honestly baffled by the recent decisions the once-huge handset maker has been making. They recently announced that they’d […]
