Droid Incredible saves browser screenshots to internal memory, turns into a privacy nightmare?
Posted on June 17, 2010 | No CommentsJune must be the month when privacy issues leave their hibernation and return to trouble our fragile minds. First we had Flash going loco, then AT&T's airwaves exploded with iPad users' email addresses, iPhone 4 pre-orders started sending people to the wrong account, and now this. Boy Genius Report has come across a rather worrying "feature" of the HTC Sense bookmarking widget on the Incredible, which takes sporadic screenshots of your browsing sessions. That wouldn't be so bothersome in itself, but try to remove said pictures, and you find where the problem lies. Ending the browsing session, deleting your history, and even a full reset to factory settings failed to eviscerate the indiscreet imagery. You have to manually discover their location and delete them by hand. Considering the high likelihood of Incredibles being sold and resold for years to come, this could turn the phone into a little cache of treasure for the proactive identity thief. And since it's a Sense issue, it might be affecting other HTC handsets as well. Wunderbar.

Motorola officially announces its weirdo square phone, the Flipout
Posted on June 2, 2010 | No Comments
Motorola love trying out new form factors almost as much as they love SHOUTING, and today's announcement combines both those past times.
While we spotted the square phone last month, it's always good to have something officially confirmed. So, without further ado, I present to you the FLIPOUT (also the last time I write it in all caps).

AT&T announces new data plans, unlimited data nowhere to be seen
Posted on June 2, 2010 | No Comments
Today is a sad day in data land. AT&T have just announced two new mobile data plans with one glaring omission: no more unlimited data.
There is some consolation, though, as those of you currently on unlimited plans are welcome to keep them.
As of June 7, however, any new customers wanting the all-you-can-eat data buffet will be left hungry -- and that includes new iPad owners.

T-mobile pulls latest HD2 update due to lethal bugs
Posted on May 24, 2010 | No Comments
Uh-oh. Looks like the latest update to the HD2 from T-mobile has caused a few "issues" and has had to be removed from the T-mobile update site.
Different users have reported different issues ranging from a not-so-terrible reduction in battery life, to a much-more-serious bricking of the phone.

iPhone video conferencing surfaces in supposed test firmware
Posted on May 22, 2010 | No Comments
Need a bit more evidence that the next iPhone will do video conferencing? Then take a good, hard look at the exciting screenshot above, which supposedly comes from a field test firmware for the next-gen iPhone that Apple is apparently working on. Not much more to go on than that at the moment, unfortunately, but Boy Genius Report says the screenshot (and a second one after the break) comes from one of its "Apple guys" and, as you can see, it not only offers yet more evidence of video calls, but video call debugging.Continue reading iPhone video conferencing surfaces in supposed test firmware

Marc Flores joins the MobileCrunch team
Posted on February 2, 2010 | No Comments
If you've been reading MobileCrunch lately (as you most certainly should be), you might have noticed a new name floating around the bylines. I thought we'd give him a day or two to get his feet wet before we made it official - but with that out of the way, we're really proud to announce that Marc Flores has joined the TechCrunch family. I'll let Marc take it from here. - Greg
I begged and pleaded with Greg, editor of MobileCrunch, not to make me write this, but it looks like I'm stuck introducing myself to you all. So in my best Troy McClure voice let me say: Hi, my name is Marc Flores. You might remember me from such popular sites as Boy Genius Report or True/Slant.
