    Surprise! Some pre-ordered iPhones will arrive on June 23rd

    Posted on June 22, 2010 | No Comments
    Back on Saturday, we did a quick post letting iPhone 4 pre-orderers know to check their inbox, as their iPhones had likely just hit the delivery truck. We warned, however, that just because they were on their way didn’t mean that they’d be getting them early, citing Apple’s tendency “to have tricks up their sleeves [...]

  • How-to: stay connected while traveling internationally

    How-to: stay connected while traveling internationally

    Posted on June 9, 2010 | No Comments
    It's a harsh reality that every avid traveler faces, and unless you're fortunate enough to have been born in a generation where you're not expected to check your inbox every half-hour, glance over Twitter updates every 7.23 minutes seconds and tell the world where you're at this very moment via Foursquare, you've probably found yourself wondering how on Earth you're going to remain connected once your swipe that passport and leave the comfy confines of a native network. Staying connected while traveling abroad is no easy task, and while the internet may feel ubiquitous to tech-savvy smartphone owners who remain planted within the borders of their home nation, the world wide web suddenly becomes a whole lot less easy to track down once you plop down on foreign soil. Looking to splurge on a little international travel this summer, but can't figure out how you're going to (affordably) upload those Twitpics and YouTube videos once you get there? Fret not, young jetsetter -- we've got the keys to keeping you connected whilst overseas just beyond the break.

    Lord of the Rings Online will be free to play this fall

    Posted on June 4, 2010 | No Comments
    My inbox in the morning is usually filled with a good degree of nonsense. "Look, it's an iPod dock in the shape of a protozoa!" No thanks, not interested. But this! This is big. Beginning with this fall's expansion, Lord of the Rings Online, the MMO developed by Turbine, will be totally free to play! Meaning, you download the game for free and can play online for free. Free as in beer, folks.

  • Nokia updates N900 to version 1.2 in UK, closes door on MeeGo

    Nokia updates N900 to version 1.2 in UK, closes door on MeeGo

    Posted on May 25, 2010 | No Comments
    You've overclocked it and hacked it to run OS X and Android, now you can return your N900 to its native Maemo 5 OS with the launch of a version 1.2 software update. The V10.2010.19-1 bump now available in the UK (global on Wednesday) packs several enhancements including face-to-face video calling, improved Ovi Maps, and a better email experience with bundled Facebook IM Chat and the ability to accept or decline event invitations from the inbox. You'll also see a number of new games when the Ovi Store switches over on Thursday.

    And after much speculation, Nokia's also admitting that MeeGo will not be officially supported on the N900 once the Intel / Nokia OS is device ready. Nokia will continue to support the core Maemo OS, however, as demonstrated by today's update. Regardless, we're sure that the N900's active fan-base will deliver a MeeGo update outside of official channels, especially since the N900 is already being used as a platform for ARM-based MeeGo development.

    [Thanks, Pasu]

    This morning when I woke up, I thought to myself: "Man -- I sure hope there isn't anything sitting in my tips inbox that is so simple and yet so clever that it makes me feel completely inadequate." Apparently I didn't hope hard enough.

    Boom! We woke up this morning to a handful of e-mails in our tips inbox, all saying the same thing: the Droid Eris should be getting Android 2.1 beginning tomorrow, according to an internal memo sent out to select retail employees. Pics or it didn't happen, right? Fortunately, one of the tipsters was nice enough to grab a shot of the memo for the lovely folks at home.

    Posted on March 16, 2010 | No Comments
    An outstanding e-mail showed up in my inbox a few moments ago promoting the release of Donkey Kong Country 2: Serious Monkey Business. It's a remix album from OC ReMix, the people who are famous for, you know, remixing video game soundtracks. (I used one of their Street Fighter remixes in a video review about a year ago.) But, yeah, Serious Monkey Business!

    No, that shot of the HTC HD2 running Windows Phone is not real

    Posted on February 16, 2010 | No Comments
    This alleged snapshot of Windows Phone 7 Series running on the HTC HD2 has hit our inbox roughly a dozen times already, so I figured we'd go ahead and clear things up: No, it is not real. It's really, really late here in Barcelona (as in 4:30 AM), so I've got to make this quick for the sake of getting any sleep tonight.

    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.
