Okay, let’s face it: there are people in your social networks you just want to mute sometimes. Inane tweets, stupid Facebook status updates, or a continual influx of devilishly entertaining links distracting you from doing something productive.

Midomi for Android Identifies Hummed or Sung Music
Midomi, an online community for amateur singers and music identification service, will be extending into Android soon. Until now, Shazam had struck me as the best mobile music ID service out there, but after seeing Midomi in action, I can see how handy humming a song could be when you’ve got it stuck in your…

A nice little treat from RIM last night at CTIA was these two devices, the BlackBerry Bold 9000 and Curve 8520, in a brand new white paint job. We had heard rumours about the white Bold hitting up AT&T, but the new 8520, which will be joining its black and blue brothers on T-Mobile, was…

Y’know, MWC, CES, and CTIA might be bigger shows, but Research in Motion’s Wireless Enterprise Symposium really lets you focus on one platform: Blackberry.

CTIA Wireless 2009 wasn’t an especially stunning show, but Will and I run down the main device releases from Samsung and HTC, followed by an interview with RIM Manager of Developer Relations Mike Kirkup on their App World launch. I’ve been hearing some anger from abroad about the UK, Canada,…
