You’ll have to do with some eBay advertisement, but hey – free Shazam for the rest of the year. [Android Market via Phandroid]

Sadly, it’s not bank accounts. It’s Shazam. The iPhone app that listens to tunes and tells you what they are. Schiller and I list it as our favourite. Emboldened, I feel as though I could deliver an Apple keynote tomorrow. More »
