\"\"<\/a>If you haven\u2019t already found it, then you\u2019re missing a treat if you have a mobile device and haven\u2019t yet got hold of our very own TORn resource, \u2018 The Hobbit News App!\u2019<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been working hard behind the scenes the last month to continue it\u2019s development and the most recent release is now in the App stores (the Apple App Store and the Android Market \u2013 or Google Play, as they now call it!).<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s in the App?<\/p>\n

Developer, and staff member Fizzit<\/strong> has the overview.<\/p>\n

DAILY NEWS
\n<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Stuff happens almost every day with the Hobbit Movie, and the App tracks all of it, showing all the updating Daily News items from the OneRing.Net website.<\/p>\n

The Today in Middle-earth Calendar is fun, and keeps track of relevant dates in Middle-earth as they come.<\/p>\n

Latest Tweets is new to the Hobbit App. Anything that comes from @theoneringnet and is posted to @theonerignnet is going to come onto the list. Our thinking was that, as we get closer to the launch of the movie, there is going to be increasing chatter, and we want to catch it all. Get tweeting!<\/p>\n

All of the news feeds now have pull-refresh functionality. Just pull the list to make sure you\u2019re picking up the latest stuff.<\/p>\n

We also have a handy cast news and cast overview, so you can read up on the various actors\/actresses and their roles.<\/p>\n

MEDIA<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>If you haven\u2019t yet come across the Tolkien Professor, you\u2019re missing something! Professor Corey Olsen of the Mythgard Institute is a deep well of amazing insight for Middle-earth mythology. His regular podcasts are all presented on the App.<\/p>\n

We also have a Video List of Hobbit related clips as well as the videos that come out of Hobbitin5<\/p>\n

Finally, in the more section, is:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tA handy link to Barliman\u2019s Chat. Visit Barlimans – a place for good conversation about JRR Tolkien\u2019s works and the Lord of the Rings movies. Our chatrooms are very newbie friendly, always open and we\u2019d love you to join us!
\n\u2022\tContact and Spy Reports. Have you heard something about the world of J.R.R. Tolkien that we have not reported? Do you have some news that you’d like to share anonymously? Maybe you just want to say hello?
\n\u2022\tFurther links to our Twitter and Facebook Pages<\/p>\n

So \u2013 what\u2019s next?<\/p>\n

The Hobbit App is continually being overhauled with new features and functionality, so expect \u2013 and don\u2019t forget to install \u2013 some regular updates over the next months.<\/p>\n

And the iPad and Tablet devices? Well \u2013 watch this space, because it\u2019s not far away! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
