Big Ol’ Disclaimer: I did a bit of work (promo videos) for SoundHound earlier this year, but this news post isn’t endorsed or sponsored by SoundHound in any way. SoundHound is pretty amazing for quickly identifying music, providing lyrics, and finding new, similar songs. However, until recently, there hasn’t been any free demo version of the app to attract new initiates (which, I think, Shazam has capitalized on). One of our site readers, John, commented on how much of a difference trial/demo/lite versions made to him and the probability of his eventual purchase, so, hopefully, this demo can help people see why they should invest in the full version of SoundHound.

By now, many may have heard about or read in full Steve Jobs’ “Thoughts on Flash” statement released yesterday. While much of what was written in the statement (and discussed around the Internet) was specific to Adobe and Flash, a statement by Jobs in the section entitled “Sixth, the most important reason” , can have a far broader effect on mobile device development – “We know from painful experience that letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform. If developers grow dependent on third party development libraries and tools, they can only take advantage of platform enhancements if and when the third party chooses to adopt the new features. We cannot be at the mercy of a third party deciding if and when they will make our enhancements available to our developers

Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of a popular antivirus company , said at a Infosec that closed operating systems, like iPhone, BlackBerry ( NSDQ: RIMM ), and Windows Phone, won’t last in the long run because they don’t embrace open-source, like Android and Symbian do. That’s an awfully heavy-handed statement, considering the ample success of iPhone and BlackBerry these days, though Android certainly provides a case for successful open-source mobile operating systems. At the same conference, Kaspersky has has reiterated their coverage of mobile phone viruses which, though currently nonexistant, could become a worry as smartphones gain marketshare and operating systems become bigger and introduce more security gaps. Security aside, I have problems imaging Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL ) having trouble selling just about anything to consumers, and will more than likely last more than five years.

I was walking through my living room the other day and a Sears commercial on TV caught my eye. I noticed they had a text message offer on the screen. Since I am always looking for mobile marketing campaigns “in the wild” I stopped in front of the TV long enough to memorize the keyword and short code. That was my first indication that Sears is doing a great job with this mobile campaign

Yesterday we’ve reported about the HTC – Microsoft agreement according to which HTC has agreed to pay royalties to Microsoft , because it turned out that the Taiwanese company’s Android phones use some technology patented by the Redmond giant. While HTC and Microsoft have not disclosed the financial aspects of the agreement, it looks like HTC may have to pay serious cash to Microsoft. A Bloomberg article has it that analyst Rob Enderle estimates that HTC, as well as other unnamed phone makers, may have to pay Microsoft $20 to $40 for each Android handset sold. Of course, analyst predictions can be (and often are) wrong. $40 per phone is way too much
