Flurry: App Store Sees Record Breaking Christmas, 50% Growth from November to December
Posted on December 28, 2009 | No Comments
As predicted here on MobileCrunch earlier this month, Apple rocked it this holiday season, and the early numbers are showing it. According to Flurry, the biggest mobile app analytics company, iPod Touch download volume saw a nearly 1,000% jump in downloads on Christmas Day. Overall, the App Store saw a 51% increase in downloads from November to December (downloads only increased by 15% from October to November). Christmas also marked the first day that iPod Touch app downloads surpassed iPhone app downloads, which makes sense (the iPod Touch is a more common gift than an iPhone; more on that later). Furthermore, the Android Market saw a nice 20% bump in app sales as well, sparked primarily by an uptick in downloads from the Motorola Droid.

Whatever you did this holiday, this guy with the robot wife had more fun

Le, 34, from Brampton, Ontario, Canada, even bought gifts for his dream [...] -
So, what’d you get?
Posted on December 25, 2009 | No CommentsIt's the final Christmas morning of the decade, and considering that there are only two or three of these left before the world ends, we certainly hope an exuberant Santa Claus dropped off a fairly swank stash of gadgetry overnight. 'Course, today just wouldn't be today without pigging out on calorie-infested foods and spending copious quantities of time with folks you dearly love and desperately loathe, but frankly -- we're just interested in learning what kind of gizmos entered your life this morning for the first time. Tell us what you did (or didn't) get in comments below, and be sure to tell us if you reacted similarly to the kids posted up after the break (no fibbing -- Sir Kringle is already making his list for next year, don'tcha know?).
When you're done, check out what people got excited about in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008.Continue reading So, what'd you get?

What did you get for Christmas?

Tell us. We want to know. I, for one, got nothing. Just beer. But it was an amazing beer called Stiegle.

The Mobile Mobile is a magnificent and melodious module of merriment
Posted on December 24, 2009 | No CommentsFaced with an agency-wide phone upgrade that left fifty older HTC devices homeless, UK-based Lost Boys International decided to act on instinct in the most natural of ways: by turning each device into a cog in a musical mobile that hangs just inside the entrance of its Brick Lane studio. Even better, all those phones are connected in a way that turns each one into a member of some crazy techno orchestra, the results of which can be seen after the break in an unbelievably fun rendition of a Christmas song you're bound to hear a dozen more times today. If that's not enough, you can also control it live, thanks to a webcam and a flash interface that accepts keyboard commands. LBi Creative Director James Théophane has the project chronicled if you want the full details, but more importantly, just make sure you experience the holiday choral after the break.

Daily Crunch: So This Is Christmas Edition

Nook shipping update: Pre-ordered Nooks should arrive before Santa
Posted on December 23, 2009 | No Comments
I have some good news and some bad news for those waiting for their Nooks to be delivered. The good news is I just got word from a B&N VP that if your Nook initially had a pre-Christmas delivery date, it will be there in time for Christmas morning. But this also means that you're not going to get that $100 BN.com gift card. Sorry. But at least your significant other will be unwrapping a Nook instead of a lame IOW certificate.
Also, new orders will not ship out until February 1, 2010 so you may want to hold on to your money a bit longer. Your local B&N store might get a few before then.
B&N's full statement is after the jump.

Sony Reader Daily Edition adds The New York Times, other newspapers to its back pocket
Posted on December 22, 2009 | No CommentsShould Santa leave a Sony Reader Daily Edition e-reader under your Christmas tree (or maybe you just like to buy fancy things on your own), you'll be pleased to know that you'll have a few more sources of content to choose from. Sony has agreed to deals bringing The New York Times, The Dallas Morning News, and The Baltimore Sun (among others) to the device. And there was much rejoicing. Presumably.

PSA: Double check your ‘guaranteed Christmas delivery’ online orders
Posted on December 22, 2009 | No Comments
A tale of holiday woe for your enjoyment. I just logged into my BestBuy.com account to make sure that the gift I ordered for someone on my list would indeed arrive by Christmas. It will not. Could be Best Buy’s fault, could be UPS’ fault – either way, the train went off the tracks.
