EA is blowing out its inventory of iPhone games for two days this week, which makes this the perfect time to stock up pre-iPhone 4 launch. A lot of the titles — not all, but many — are just 99 cents, so goodies like Clue, Life, SimCity, and Battleship will just barely graze your pocketbook and leave you completely productivity-free for hours on end. You’re still plan to pay $6.99 for Spore Creatures, but hey, you can’t have everything, right?

The N900 already features one of the best pocket browsing experiences we’ve ever seen, but it looks to be getting a whole lot better today with the beta release of Firefox 1.1. Major new features include portrait browsing (awesome), form auto-complete, a context menu, volume key zoom, and — this is pretty neat — the capability to save pages straight to PDF, so it seems like the kind of thing you’ll definitely want to download, even if it’s not Truly solid enough to earn gold build status. Oh, and if you don’t have an N810 or N900 handy and you’re amped to play around, you can download the little guy for Windows, Mac OS, or Linux, too.

Not a lot to go on in this place, but PC World is quoting an “ASUS representative” who says that the Eee Phone will be declare later this year. Unlike the Garmin-ASUS offerings, the Eee Phone would be a low-cost consumer jobbie as previously confirmed by ASUS’ chairman, Jonney Shih. As such, we expect it to have a massive bezel, a cheap, over-sized plastic case and some kind of open-source OS that consumers can’t resist. Hey ASUS, you got lucky with the Eee PC, don’t push it.
