While it’s true that Open webOS has successfully been ported to several devices in Alpha form, that’s a long way from being useful. Yes, HP’s spun off gram division announced Open webOS Professional, a version of its open source OS that will incorporate HP’s cloud services such as Synergy (not included in the non-Professional flavor).

We may have not been all that impressed by MetroPCS’s first LTE device, but that doesn’t mean Techcitement isn’t paying attention to the plucky provider. It’s hard not to, when executives actually have the stones to slam the iPhone in print. For those who don’t want to click away (thank you), COO Tom Keys is […]
We’re big fans of the super-sized Galaxy Note here at Techcitement. While not the first device to blur the line between tablet and phone, Samsung was the first company to not stink at it. (We’re looking at you, Dell.) LG recently introduced its own 5″ tablet, the Optimus Vu. However, this 5″-fronting, LTE-Living, stylus-sporting handset […]
I never thought I’d say this, but I’m starting to feel bad for Microsoft. Despite all the effort the company puts into pushing Windows Phone 7, the people who make the hardware it needs to live don’t seem to be behind them. We haven’t had much news of upcoming handsets from anyone but Nokia and […]

The current Google reference phone is more than a neat bit of hardware — it represents Sprint’s first shift from a high-speed WiMax network to one based on LTE.

HTC: HTC ThunderBolt DROID Incredible 2 by HTC HTC Rhyme HTC Rezound Motorola: Motorola XOOM DROID BIONIC DROID […]
LG is the latest in a string of Android phone manufacturers to strike a patent deal with Microsoft over portions of the Chrome and Android OS. With this agreement in place, Microsoft now profits from 70 percent of all Google-based smartphones sold in the United States. Other manufacturers paying Microsoft for their Android phone sales […]
Day one of CES 2012 sure kicked off to a great start, especially with a bevy of new smartphones announced. Many of the major original equipment manufacturers, even Nokia, have come out with big announcements, though some of them seem a bit odd. Nevertheless, here is a breakdown of some of the more important announcements […]
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 […]
