So, remember when Microsoft bought Skype back in May? The Android and iOS communities all buzzed with rumors that Skype’s development may slow down or even disappear on other mobile platforms, favoring integration with their own Windows Phone products instead. Thankfully that wasn’t the case, as Skype has released numerous updates for other platforms since […]
I have a confession to make: I didn’t cover HP’s highly disappointing earnings statement because I thought you guys might be sick of hearing me go on about them. Considering the recent mismanagement and musical CEO games being played there, it’s not too much of a surprise that earnings are lower than usual but a […]
I’ve been a user of Palm/PalmOS PDAs/smartphones for over a decade. I had a Palm III, a Handspring Visor with the SprintPCS Springboard, Treo 600, Treo 650, and the webOS Palm Pre. I’ve been a Sprint customer for over 12 years, so all of these devices have been CDMA versions on Sprint. I was an […]
I confess to not being as big a fan of Apple’s current iteration of their desktop operating system. Don’t get me wrong, Lion 10.7 is great, but few of the new features are a compelling reason for me to upgrade from 10.6 Snow Leopard. Throw in stuff like FreeNAS not working (as well as UPnP) […]
When HP announced that they’d make webOS open source, they neglected details of any kind. Instead, we got the usual “in the coming months” vagueness, the sort of thing that helped bring webOS to the strong market presence it has now. Color me surprised, because today HP released a detailed road map for their […]
While Techcitement has given a glowing, if quick, review to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, one feature we only touched on is the operating system. Because I’ve been shopping around for a new operating system ever since HP decided to ditch the phone business, this is a good time to put Android 4.0 a.k.a. Ice Cream […]
I really don’t want to become That Guy — the kind of guy who rails on and on about the superiority of his niche or failed tech (see: Betamax, DiVX disks, Newton PDAs, etc). But it’s hard to keep from doing that after reading the article titled “In Flop of H.P. TouchPad, an Object Lesson […]
![My editor wishes me to add the caveat "accurate for me, anyway." [Justin the Editor -- This is true.]](https://techcitement.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/zagg_on_touchpad.jpg "Techcitement Review: ZAGG FLEX And ZAGGfolio Keyboards")
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 […]
If star of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds Tippi Hedren has a mobile device, she must be freaking out right now, because there’s no escaping from Angry Birds! The omnipresent game from Rovio is now even available on the RIM PlayBook, with the original game as well as the Rio and Seasons variations going for $4.99 each. That means […]
