T-Mobile really, really wants to be your cellphone carrier. First, there was the announcement of the new UnCarrier pricing, where high-end phones like the iPhone 5, Blackberry Z10, Samsung Galaxy S 4, and HTC One are $99 up front with monthly payouts. The iPhone 5 launches on T-Mobile on April 12, 2013 and the deal […]
In my last article about how technology is bringing bicycling into the 21st century, I stated that much of that forward push is from accessories. A big part of smart phone accessories is cases to protect your smart phone from everyday bumps and drops, but also from the elements and from hardcore, physical activities. I spent this […]
The current version of Apple’s video chat solution, FaceTime, only works over WiFi. This is allegedly to spare cell networks the beating video calls would give them. With the iPhone 5, Apple will release Facetime over cellular, allowing users to make video calls over the new flagship phone’s LTE connection. With caveats, that is. AT&T, […]

When Sprint added the venerated iPhone to their mobile lineup, analysts were a bit nervous about what it was actually costing the company. After all, while a consumer pays $199 for their Siri-packing iPhone 4S (or $99 for just the iPhone 4), Sprint is actually subsidizing those costs. The goal is to get people locked […]
NetMarketShare, an internet statistics firm, announces each month the breakdown of mobile web traffic between OSes. October’s results are definitely different from what a seasoned Android fanboy would expect. Given Android’s stratospheric rise in the past two years, I’d expect the percentage to be a bit higher than the 18.9 percent it’s currently sitting it. […]
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 […]
