Let’s face it, Samsung is finally getting its wish, they are becoming as popular as Apple and the iPhone. More specifically, the Galaxy S brand is becoming more popular. Some people have even suggested that Google may be in trouble as well, as the Galaxy S brand is becoming more well known than the Android OS it’s running. Some of you may remember a time—and I’m sure were sick of hearing it—when uneducated Android users would call their devices a “DROID” because of the Verizon commercials that so successful...

Unless you’ve decided to take a break from the internet over the past weekend—which I doubt—you may have heard more rumblings of a forthcoming Apple “iWatch.” This supposed watch already features some amazing technology, depending on which analyst’s report you decide to read, including the most recent rumor, curved glass. Apple is no stranger to using glass in miraculous ways (ie. the steps in the Apple stores, the cube in NYC are just two examples), so it shouldn’t be all that surprising to hear that...

I made the decision not to attend CES this year, simply because it has become a pointless show. While we get a few trickles of information about a new processor that may show up in devices this year or see new handheld device that may or may not become vaporware, for the most part, it’s all about products that won’t make it to the market for years to come or that 99% percent of us can’t afford. How many times do we need to see televisions with screen sizes so massive, that they would never fit on our walls, not to mention...

As Facebook’s places and Google own check-in services gain users, is Foursquare really relevant anymore? I’ll be the first to admit, I’m a “former” user of Foursquare. However, I decide to ditch the service a long time ago because I felt like I was being a pretentious d-bag, because I was checking in places, for the sole purpose of letting...

As we begin a new year, we thought we’d give TechHog a new look. We decided to ditch the overall layout of the old site, which broke down all the news into specific groups and let the news feed feel more natural. If you still want to read specifically about Android, Nokia or something else, simply use the navigation bar across the top and select a category....

This is a disturbing piece for me to write, as I’m a big Apple fan (as well as Android), but over the last few weeks, things haven’t looked great for Apple. Let’s start with the obvious, the stock price. Since the release of the iPhone 5, back in September, Apple’s stock has been tumbling and has dropped from a record $705 a share, to a dipping...

In 2013, the Lincoln Motor Company is rebooting, looking to follow the vision of their past, while celebrating 90 years, the company is going to do what they’ve always done… and what others aren’t. Starting with the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, car buyers will see a brand new Lincoln, with innovation, amazing design and cutting edge technology, such as; a retractable...

Over the past two weeks, I’ve had the pleasure to test out (and own) two of Android’s biggest devices, literally, first with the DROID DNA by HTC and then Samsung’s phablet, the Galaxy Note II. For a long time, I have been a proponent of Apple’s iPhone and its size. I’ve have always said how great it feels in your hand, no matter which...

It’s has been a few weeks, but we’ve updated the podcast with Episode 3 of TechHog TechTalk. In this episode, I talk about the new DROID DNA, the Galaxy Note II, Nokia’s Marketing and RIM’s downfall. If you’re already subscribed via iTunes or our RSS feed, you should have the updated already. If not, head over to our podcast tab at the...

The Lumia 920 is without a doubt one of the best looking smartphones on the planet and probably the best design to come out of the Finnish smartphone maker. So it’s interesting as to why Nokia has decide to purposely stub their own toe before the big race, essentially taking themselves out of the competition. You may ask yourself, what does he mean with this odd metaphor, please, allow me to explain. When Nokia was looking to get back into the smartphone game, they decided to choose Microsoft’s Windows Phone OS as their “lifeboat,”...
