SwiftKey Flow Beta Wipes The Floor With Swype

Yoni Gross — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:10:20 +0000

I’m kind of nuts about android keyboards. I’ve tried them all, even the weird ones, but I always seem to come back to Swype. It is simply the smoothest interface for one-handed touchscreen input, as far as I’m concerned. At least, it was. The other major keyboard contender has always been SwiftKey. Predictive typing that […]

Chiclet Keyboards Become New Classic For Notebooks

Tom Wyrick — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 19:49:06 +0000

It seems like only yesterday when Apple announced its new line of notebooks with unibody aluminum cases and a dramatic change to chiclet keyboard keys (first seen in the MacBooks and then adopted across the product line). While this keyboard design wasn’t an Apple invention by any means, it’s rarely seen on modern computers. I […]

Techcitement Review: Samsung Double Time, And Now For Something Completely Different

M. Gilden — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:16:19 +0000

If you’ve noticed that modern smartphones are beginning to look strikingly similar, this new budget handset from Samsung will be a breath of fresh air. The Samsung Double Time is an AT&T branded device that earns its namesake from the use of dual displays. That is, instead of having the keyboard slide out like other […]

Techcitement Review: ZAGG FLEX And ZAGGfolio Keyboards

Mordechai Osdoby — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:50:51 +0000

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 […]

Techcitement Review: LG Optimus Slider, Go Stand In The Corner

Mordechai Osdoby — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:23:25 +0000

The LG Optimus was an insanely popular phone. Released across carriers, it proved that you don’t need carrier exclusivity as a selling point. I honestly feel that this helped influence Samsung with their launch of the Galaxy S and Galaxy SII and hope it has a wider impact. The Optimus also showed that you don’t […]

Techcitement Review: The Great Android Keyboard Roundup

Yoni Gross — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 15:52:24 +0000

Android’s great advantage over its main competitor, iOS, is the way it lets you customize your device to fit your needs. Skins, launchers, custom ROMs, there are tons of ways to do it, but one of the most useful is finding a keyboard that works for you.

SnApp Judgments: Swiftkey X

Yoni Gross — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 18:17:36 +0000

Every night at 12:15 AM Pacific, Amazon gives away a free paid app through their Amazon app store. As I am usually awake at 12:15 AM Pacific, why not let you know if today’s app is useful, or just more clutter in your app drawer? Jeremy Goldstone is off geeking out at San Diego Comic-Con, […]

Tablets Versus Netbooks, Part II

M. Gilden — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 14:45:34 +0000

Click here to read Part I. Can a tablet be used to replace a netbook? As a regular netbook user (specifically an Acer Aspire One), my proposed experiment was to try and spend a week using a Viewsonic G-Tablet (chosen because it’s roughly the same price as the Acer) running Android instead . Now that […]
