    Vodafone UK details iPhone 4 plans a little early, we keep the screenshots

    We don't know what shenanigans are going on over in Vodafone HQ, but the UK carrier gave the world a quick glimpse of its iPhone 4 pricing today, before promptly removing the data sheets from the ether. Thankfully, a fast-witted reader by the name of Liam Gladdy captured the incriminating data for us, and we can now sit and ruminate on what Voda has in store. As you might surmise from above, the vast majority of users won't be getting the handset for free, though that doesn't necessarily preclude the contracts from representing good value. We note with glee that Vodafone keeps its data limit at a robust 1GB, unlike a certain other network, and the £30 ($44) a month two-year contract is looking decent from where we're sitting. Prices over 18 months just jump by £5 in monthly outlay with handset costs remaining the same. Click past the break for the full breakdown, including details for the 32GB variety.

    Early adopters, rejoice: AT&T begins rolling back upgrade eligibility dates for the next iPhone

    Okay, I've got big news. Really - you're going to want to sit down for this one. Ready? Apple.. is going to release a new iPhone this year. Probably next month. Why is your jaw not dropping? Sure, Apple releases a new iPhone every year in June -- and sure, the next iPhone has already played a pivotal part in a massive scandal that resulted in a police raid on a blogger's house. But.. but.. Fine. At this point, a new iPhone announcement in June isn't really a surprise. It's more of a tradition -- and this year, it looks like AT&T is getting ready a bit early.

  • Hands-on with Honda’s U3-X, the amazing people mover

    Hands-on with Honda’s U3-X, the amazing people mover

    Step aside Segway, because this is amazing. This U3-X is a tiny unicycle like people mover designed for folks with debilitating injuries or problems walking. You sit on it, put your feet on a pair of pedals, and move your body to move forward, backwards, and even side to side. It's amazingly small and lasts one hour on a charge. Jimin and I tried the U3-X in a ballroom in Times Square and both of us came away impressed. It is completely self righting and to ride it you just move your body in the direction you want to go. The wheels-within-wheels system allows for 360-degree motion.

Phandroid just dug up this alleged internal Sprint memo, detailing a “maintenance release” coming to the HTC [...]

    It is morning in America: GeoHot tells of untethered jailbreak that could work on iPad

    Web video star GeoHot just did a quick demo of his untethered iPhone/iPod Touch jailbreak. That’s right – you just have to put something on your device – and not directly connect it to your computer – and it will jailbreak that heck out of it in a few minutes. It’s just like the old [...]

  • Peek has some “big stuff” in the works even though it’s short on cash

    Peek has some “big stuff” in the works even though it’s short on cash

    "Big stuff that will blow away folks. Not just an awesome “Peek for Life” promo. But really, truly big stuff. So stay tuned for Project Big Stuff." That's a direct quote from Peek's official blog after stating flat out the company is short on cash even though they make a decent amount of revenue. Of course Peek could probably raise a bit more if absoulity necessary, but we're curious what the company that brought us the email-only, and more recently Twitter-only, device is working on.

  • Video on demand: The patron saint of Tribeca Film Festival?

    Video on demand: The patron saint of Tribeca Film Festival?

    Is video on demand the key to making your spiffy indie movie the next Huge Success? Depends on who you ask. The Tribeca Film Festival will experiment with VOD this year, having signed deals with cable providers like Comcast, Verizon FIOS, and Cablevision (a New York-area provider, for those of you who've never heard of it before) to create a Tribeca VOD channel. The thing is, even though putting a film on VOD is a guaranteed way to increase its exposure, there seems to be a bit of a stigma attached there.

    SteelSeries asks: You know the goody bag given out at the end of fancy events?

    Jimin-with-the-big-FLAC-collection and I met with one of the SteelSeries guys today. It's funny: you think you understand where a company's coming from, but then you sit down and actually talk to them and it's like, “Wow, OK, you guys are pretty cool.” So to the people who will walk out of Sunday's Grammy Awards with one of those fancy gift bags you always hear about, I can say this: you'll probably enjoy the SteelSeries headphones you find in there.

    Conan O’Brien, do you want to be a CrunchGear intern for a little while?

    All of us here at CrunchGear are fairly angry at the way NBC has treated you, Conan. So here's our offer: if you and the peacock decide to part company (and you really ought to, provided the network takes care of your staff and everyone else who moved from New York to Los Angeles, and provided you walk away with some fat cash), we'd like to offer you an internship. That's right: Conan O'Brien, CrunchGear intern. That has a nice ring to it, no?
