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...

When it goes on sale tomorrow, the T-Mobile G1 will be the very first mobile device to utilize Google's open source operating system, Android. I've been using a G1 for the last couple of weeks and am really impressed—a relief because since the iPhone there really hasn't been a mobile that I've been excited about. While the G1 comes in a nice form-factor with...
