We’re fairly fond of Samsung here at Techcitement. They make good products, are kind enough to send us review units, and invite us to events. However, what kind of blog would we be if we did not point out when companies we like do something stupid? No, we’re not talking about Ch@tOn, Samsung’s addition to […]
Google “Bill Gates is Evil” and you get a whole lot of results going over all the horrible, terrible things that Gates has done. People don’t like his business practices, his public persona, or his products. Fine, but I personally think evil is oversimplifying. The concept of “this businessman is BAD and everything he […]
As the ongoing battle between Apple and Samsung continues to play out, the Korean electronics giant has decided to take it to a new and interesting level. They’ve rented a shop right by Apple’s downtown Sydney (as in Australia) shop with the hopes of snagging some buyers. To sweeten the pot, they’re also reselling their […]
Receiving review units is always a bit of a thrill, but sometimes there can be a catch. Case in point, the Cocoon Grid-It. This is a unique accessory, but the snag was that I didn’t have the device it was meant for. This particular unit holds a Macbook Air. However, I soon discovered it […]
BGR reports that the next flagship Android phone, codenamed Nexus Prime, will actually be the Galaxy Nexus. The first phone to run Android 4.0 a.k.a. Ice Cream Sandwich is allegedly going to be unveiled at next Tuesday’s Samsung event. Exclusive to Verizon, the Nexus Galaxy will be pure Android, untainted by TouchWIZ much like the […]
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. They also introduced an impressive iPod Touch that is much thinner, has cameras, a Retina display, and all around […]
As everyone probably knows by now, the rumor-mill has strongly indicated that today’s Apple iPhone event will give us some form of Sprint iPhone. Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Sprint committed to $20 billion worth of iPhone purchases over four years. That’s a heck of a commitment, especially when you consider how past […]
IHS iSuppli Research reports that the Amazon Kindle Fire, priced at $199, has $191.65 worth of parts and has a full manufacturing cost of $209.63. This means that with each machine, the online retailer actually loses a few bucks. Amazon likely intends to pick up the difference with media sales, and it’s not that bad […]
I was driving to an event in Upstate New York the other day and we passed Woodbury Commons. For the uninitiated, this is an area that boasts over 200 outlet stores. For those unfamiliar with the concept, an outlet store is where a manufacturer sells their product directly to the public without a middle man […]
