AT&T suspends iPhone 4 pre-orders altogether, says they were ten times 3GS’ numbers
Posted on June 16, 2010 | No Comments
AT&T just kicked things up another notch, going from a launch day pre-order sellout for the iPhone 4 to... well, a total pre-order sellout. The carrier has announced this morning that it's "suspending pre-ordering today in order to fulfill the orders we've already received," saying only that it will resume the pre-order process when it can wrap its brain around the "additional inventory" it'll have on hand. It's hard to gauge where this lies on the truth / hype meter, but for what it's worth, they're saying that pre-orders outstripped the 3GS by a factor of ten, and eligibility checks were three times higher than the previous one-day record. Or... you know, maybe they just don't want any more information falling into the wrong hands until they can figure things out. Follow the break for AT&T's full statement.Continue reading AT&T suspends iPhone 4 pre-orders altogether, says they were ten times 3GS' numbers

You’re Damn Right I’m A Fanboy.
Posted on June 14, 2010 | No Comments
As we all know by now, comments on the Internet are a fascinating thing. My favorite involve the word "fanboy." Generally speaking, it means you write (stories, tweets, whatever) about a certain topic with a positive angle. It's meant to be derogatory, but the truth is that it's so overused that it's almost completely meaningless. But for the sake of this post, I'll play ball. I have a confession to make: I'm a fanboy.
Now, I didn't say specifically what I'm a fanboy of, because there have been too many titles bestowed upon me over the years. At various points over just the past few months, I've been an Apple fanboy, a Google fanboy, a Twitter fanboy, a Facebook fanboy, a Foursquare fanboy, a Gowalla fanboy, and yes, even a Microsoft fanboy. Never mind that most of companies compete with one another, so it would be hard to be a true fanboy of multiple ones without misrepresenting your fanboydom of a few of the others. We'll just say I'm a fanboy and leave it at that. And that leaves me wondering: why wouldn't you want to be a fanboy?

HTC EVO 4Gs flooding into Best Buys, some Radio Shacks opening at 6AM on Friday
Posted on June 2, 2010 | No CommentsEVO fever -- have you caught it? Things are seriously starting to ramp up in preparation for Friday's festivities, the day that Sprint's EVO 4G hits shelves (though most will likely be sold before they even touch a shelf, truth be told). Radio Shack hit us up with the knowledge earlier today that it'll be opening some locations as early as 6AM -- and what's more, they claim to have "specifically set aside" some units for folks who didn't pre-order, so that might be your best chance. We're also getting a bunch of shots from tipsters who say their Best Buy locations have started taking delivery of the retail units, so at least you'll know they'll be in stock on Friday -- but for how long is another question altogether.
[Thanks to everyone who sent these in!]

Motorola is in the black and selling phones
Posted on April 29, 2010 | No CommentsNow here’s a turnaround I never expected. According to a recent results filing, Motorola is working its way back into solvency and is turning a profit and shipping devices like crazy. The company took a slight loss in mobile sales – about $192 million – but that’s far lower than $550 million last year. In truth, [...] -
Debunk: No, iPhone OS 4.0 Beta isn’t jailbroken.. yet.
Posted on April 8, 2010 | No CommentsThis’ll be a quick one, because we want to nip this little rumor in the bud before it takes off. A handful of blogs around the vast Internets are reporting that the just released iPhone OS 4.0 Beta has already been hacked to pieces, with a jailbreak solution already being discovered. This is inaccurate. The truth: it’s [...] -

Call of Duty: Black Ops, now rumored: Developed by Treyarch, set between World War II and today
Posted on March 29, 2010 | No CommentsSo what to make of this latest Call of Duty rumor? The seventh game in the series will be named Call of Duty: Black Ops, and will take place between the end of World War II and the present day. It won't necessarily "be" a Vietnam War game, but will have missions that take place all over the world. Remember: it's being developed by Treyarch (i.e. not Infinity Ward), the same dudes who developed Call of Duty 3 and Call of Duty: World at War.

What’s the deal with these Microsoft Seinfeld ads?
Posted on March 26, 2010 | No Comments
I'm not quite sure what this was important to someone, but Todd Bishop of TechFlash sat down with Microsoft to discuss those crazy Seinfeld ads from way back in ought-8. He essentially asked Microsoft "What were you thinking?" and got some interesting replies.
Essentially, Microsoft wanted to introduce Windows 7 in a big way but they weren't sure how to go about it. Their marketing execs wanted an icebreaker to invite the world back into the mind of Microsoft. The result? Some of the craziest commercials the company ever released.

Don’t Call Tech Support. Try Orkin Instead!
Posted on March 17, 2010 | No CommentsSomeone passed this post along to us, and since our Chinese is limited here in CrunchGear-land, I’m afraid we can’t vouch for it. The video contained may, in truth, provide the recipe for a lovely London broil for all we know, so take it with several healthy grains of salt. But at least the basic [...] -
Pre-order your iPad right now
Posted on March 12, 2010 | No CommentsThis is just a friendly reminder that Apple is now accepting orders for its non-multitasking, closed OS-equipped, non-SD card slot-sporting, overpriced, sorry attempt at a tablet. You know it as the iPad. (you can’t flame the truth) -
Apple prepping a Mac mini with HDMI? And Blu-ray?
Posted on March 1, 2010 | No Comments
The Mac mini has long been a HTPC fan favorite. It's small, quiet, yet powerful. But it doesn't have an HDMI port, which makes many Apple clowns sad. But hold on, a rumor just popped up that states that Apple is working on a Mac mini with *gasp* an HDMI port!

Snapback automatically reconnects calls when your BlackBerry takes a dive
Posted on February 17, 2010 | No CommentsIt’s an unavoidable truth of carrying a cell phone in a world full of massive skyscrapers and thick-walled tunnels: Dropped calls happen. It always seem to happen at the worst of times, too. You’re driving along with your Bluetooth headset clamped to your head, when bam! Call is gone. You don’t want to look away from [...] -
T-Mobile myTouch 1.2 launching tomorrow with Swype keyboard
Posted on February 9, 2010 | No CommentsWe thought we knew just about everything there was to know about T-Mobile’s oh-so-subtle hardware upgrade to the myTouch, known around the Internets as the “myTouch 1.2″. Truth be told, there wasn’t really that much to know: they’d bumped the headset jack up to a standard 3.5mm jack (Hurray!), and upped the amount of RAM [...] -
Aliens vs Predator (2010) demo now available on Steam
Posted on February 4, 2010 | No Comments
There have been more than a dozen and a half AVP games over the last three decades and a new one is prepped to launch on February 16, 2010 on the 360, PS3, and Windows. That's awesome. But the truth is that while I'm going to advice you to fire up Steam and download the demo, I didn't even know there was a new AVP game in development until I saw the news.

Even ScotteVest caught the iPad fever
Posted on February 1, 2010 | No Comments
IPad accessories are popping up everywhere. Proof? ScotteVest is now advertising its 22-pocket Travel Vest for Men as the first clothing line with a pocket for the iPad. Maybe that explains where Colbert was holding his during the Grammys. He seemed to pull it out of nowhere. That's what ScotteVests are known for after all -- gadget concealment.
