MySpace and big music labels in the market, teamed up to come up with a new services dubbed MySpace Music. Rumors say that the new joint music venture, has already managed to secure advertising and that the advertisers have been briefed in, that this week they’ll start the engines @ music.myspace.com (not yet working!!!).

The fact that users will be able to stream music for free, to create playlists or to download music from Amazon may not be news but the fact that we managed to get our hands on some leaked screenshots of what the new service will look like, is! Here are the homepage (first image), the member’s area (second) and the artist pages (third).

We’re not sure if these are reals or if someone just played us with his Photoshop skills, but things will shed to light in the next few days, because it’s really going to launch this week.

I’m curious if MySpace will allow artists to sell their own merchandise …

I just got this email from Vodacom confirming the launch of the iPhone 3G in South Africa -

WordPress has unveiled its own application for 3g iPhone and iPod touch users for mobile management of blogs built upon its platform.

WordPress for iPhone lets you write posts, edit posts, add photos from your camera or photo library. You can schedule posts for publication at a later time or you can publish right away.

WordPress for iPhone App, which works for both .com and .org, is now available for free in the iPhone Apps Store, plus it is being released as an Open Source app.

However, as much as I like the virtual keyboard on the iPhone, I would really love to use a real keyboard for blogging from the iPhone. Perhaps apple should enable Bluetooth keyboard paring.

News just broke that lifestreaming aggregator, Feedalizr, has made available their latest release – ver 2.1. We previously wrote about Feedalizr here which comes out of the MIH Swat stable. Feedalizr has been re-architecured breaking away from the shackles of FriendFeed. Which means Feedalizr now has full client support for Twitter, Flickr and Jaiku so you no longer need a Friendfeed account to use feedalizr.

Full client support for Twitter means that you can now use Feedalizr as a Twitter client on your desktop enabling you to do tweets, direct messages and favourite tweets. This also means that when you like or comment on one of your friend’s pics in their Flickr feed on feedalizr it means that this info is reflected instantaneously on the page on Flickr and not just in Friendfeed.

With the release Feedalizr also has a new user interface and the task tray ‘toaster’ is now horizontal instead of popping up vertically leaving you with a lot more space on your desktop. Feedalizr has also built in de-duping so now you will not see duplicate entries for Twitter, Flickr and Jaiku.

As mentioned earlier Feedalizr has been re-architectured which allows the SWAT team to release new versions to market a lot quicker. The retech also allowed them to fix memory usage issues making Feedalizr more responsive and less resource intensive for your cpu.

For the full list of new features and changes take a look at the changelog. Get the latest version of the Feedalizr here.
