Like SoundHound and Shazam are not enough, Sony Ericsson decided to launch its own music recognition app in the Android Market. TrackID is now available as a free download, making it easy to discover new music and share what you’re listening to with your friends on Facebook. As soon as TrackID identifies some tune, you can “Like” it to make it instantly visible on your wall so that your e-buddies can see it. Additional options include the ability to access artist biographies, view music videos on YouTube and add any song to your Spotify playlists or download it.
I’m a big fan of choice, but I’m not sure I see TrackID’s competitive edge. Like I said at the beginning of this post, Shazam and SoundHound do the same job, while providing few other features as well. So if you’re somehow not satisfied with the existing music identification app you’re using, you may want to try out TrackID…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
