Congratulations on getting your new Android device! Pretty awesome, isn’t it? Except something seems missing. It’s cool and all, but why isn’t it doing all that awesome stuff like in the commercials? You need to download some apps, but with over 380,000 apps to choose from, that can be a daunting task. Fortunately, Techcitement is […]
Lenovo’s ThinkPad Tablet manages to bring a few different things to the party, and this pleases me greatly, as seen in this video. [yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGBt8q4uhaQ’] The ThinkPad Tablet may not be the thinnest or most eye-catching tablet out there. It has some real heft to it compared to the Galaxy Tab or iPad 2. I’d […]
There’s an official native Gmail app for iOS! What’s that? It came out already? And they pulled it down after less than a day because it was so buggy? Oh, well, it’s available again! But only in the US app store. This time, it seems to be working correctly and it’s pretty slick. However, it’s still […]
The stories keep on coming about Apple vs. competitors battling in out in the courtroom. Just last week, a small Spanish tablet manufacturer by the name of NT-K decided to sue Apple for anti-competitive behavior, after succeeding in defending itself against a patent infringement suit Apple brought against them. Motorola just won a patent infringement […]
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. […]
Samsung’s been going a bit mad with the tablets, and we love them for it. Not content to have a 10”and a 7”, they’ve also introduced a 8.9” tablet, also known as the Portfolio. Slightly bigger than the Tab 7” and sporting Android Honeycomb instead of Gingerbread, the Portfolio also has something the Samsung Galaxy […]
[yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kdHgEeE1HQ’] Samsung’s offering at CTIA 2011 was, shall we say, slightly less exciting than it was supposed to be. You could kind of tell that from the display booth they had. It was large, but felt like it was missing something. That said, Samsung didn’t come to the show empty handed. It’s not like […]
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 […]
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 […]
Amazon is poised on the brink on making a tremendous impact to the world of tablets. No tablet manufacturer has yet managed to create a product with a cohesive ecosystem, aggressive marketing, and fluidity of operation of the iPad. However, Amazon’s upcoming entry into the market could change all of that. Since the introduction of […]
