phling! is a new mobile service that lets you tune in to the music stored on your computer (PC only for the time being) from wherever you are. To use it you download applications to both your mobile phone and your PC. So long as the PC is turned on and connected to the internet you can stream your music files to your phone. phling! mediates all of the inconsistencies of the wireless network to ensure even playback. And they also offer a few stations of free internet radio.
Where the service gets more interesting is that you can see other phling! users—people also listening to the same song as you, others online with similar taste or people fitting whatever profile you're looking for. Once you connect with other users you can also listen to their music.

As covered here earlier, Dodgeball is a mobile app that helps you navigate your social scene (assuming you live in NYC). Today they launched a new service, Dodgeball Social, which allows you to find out which of your friends are within 10 blocks of you. This feature is super simple and makes a lot of sense to me. I still believe that Dodgeball's time...

Simple tools are always the best way to accomplish simple tasks. Such is the case with my new favorite multi-platform app, Shifd. It's basically a really easy way to capture and view notes, places and links from your mobile phone, web browser or computer desktop. I most often use it for mobile notes-to-self; whenever I need to capture a name, place, task or thought...
Not everyone has welcoming outer ears to the standard iPhone earbuds.

The VIBE Duos feature the inline mic and button to switch between music and incoming phone calls similar to the Apple iPhone stereo headset. This is a must for smoothly handling unexpected...
