Choosing a wireless carrier just a year ago wasn’t all that difficult. In the United States, it meant deciding between Verizon and its massive network or AT&T and its steady collection of outstanding devices.

When Is a Smartphone Too Big? The Galaxy S4 comes with a 5-inch screen. And although that might sound like a good thing, the extra screen real estate means the device is noticeably wider and taller than the iPhone 5. That means fitting it into a pocket might not be as easy for some users. […]

Google Glass’ Proper Fit They say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. And when it comes to Google Glass, that’s certainly true.
