Shazam gets social with brand new Shazam Player (Appolicious)

Few if any apps showcased the delightful possibilities of the iPhone as much as Shazam, which debuted in concert with the App Store in 2008.

You remember the feeling of hearing a song at a bar or in an elevator, launching the Shazam app, and have instant knowledge and background information of that track. Genius.

Since those salad days of mobile apps, of course, an ensemble of notable music discovery competitors have crowded in on Shazam?s space. Soundhound can not only identify a song, but play scrolling lyrics in time with the music. SoundTracking lets users share what songs they are listening to with their friends and followers. Like Shazam, both Soundhound and SoundTracking are also available on Android devices.

Shazam today strikes back with the brand new (and free!) Shazam Player app which, shockingly, lets users share songs with their friends and read lyrics in real time.

?I?d be remiss if I didn?t admit we keep an eye on the competition,? acknowledged David Jones, Shazam?s vice president of marketing. ?But we have our own road map and are focused on what is best for our business and for our users.?

In addition to sharing and lyric scrolling, Shazam Players has a snappy interface that allows users to create custom playlists (separate from iTunes) on the fly. All iTunes library data is also imported within the app.

Jones said that although Shazam Player launched exclusively on iOS devices, that the app would be coming to other platforms in the not too distant future. The original Shazam app is on all seven major mobile platforms.

While Shazam Player is not as revolutionary as the company?s flagship app (how could it be), it is still more than a worthy download and music player alternative.

Chaotic Moon shows Xbox Kinect / Windows 8-powered electric skateboard (video)

What if you combined a prototype Windows 8 tablet, an electric skateboard and Microsoft's Kinect? Funnily enough, the folks at Chaotic Moon Studios wondered the same, and they didn't stop there. Here at CES 2012, the outfit showcased a downright amazing wheeled machine, capable of reaching speeds as high as 32mph. It's being labeled the Board of Awesomeness, but frankly, that's an understatement. The company's calling this the world's first Xbox Kinect-controlled skateboard, utilizing video recognition, speech recognition, gesture recognition, localization data, accelerometer data, and other factors to determine what the user wants to do. Enough chatter -- head on past the break to see this thing in action.

At White House welcome, Obama cheers Dallas Mavericks for beating Miami Heat in NBA finals

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama saluted Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks on Monday as NBA champions who staged a season-ending charge to beat LeBron James and the vaunted Miami Heat and claim their first title with a "heart that's the size of Texas."

"This was a remarkable run, a great victory," Obama declared, as owner Mark Cuban and Mavericks stars, including series MVP Nowitzki, looked on. "It's too bad that next year, it'll be the Chicago Bulls here."

The first basketball fan ? a passionate supporter of his hometown Bulls ? was nonetheless lavish in praising the Mavericks, who beat the Heat in six games last June.

"They know how good teams win," Obama said. "Not just by jumping higher or running faster, but by finding the open man, working together, staying mentally tough, being supportive of each other, playing smarter."

He said that's how Dallas "took down some of the league's best teams ... including the Miami Heat, who got a little bit of attention last year."

The victory was sweet revenge for Dallas after it blew an NBA finals lead to the Heat five years earlier. It also upended the hope of Heat superstars James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for a championship in their first year playing together.

Monday's ceremony reflected both the league's current, lockout-shortened season and the determination of the colorful Cuban to make it happen. Typically, White House visits take place when a championship team plays in Washington. With such a short season, the Mavericks aren't here this year. Cuban insisted on the ceremony anyhow.

"It's tough to say no to Mark Cuban," Obama said, to knowing laughter from his players.

Obama singled out the German-born Nowitzki, noting he played in the finals despite a painful finger injury and fever. "Clearly Dirk is a tough guy, although the most painful thing may have been his rendition of `We Are the Champions' during the victory celebrations," the president said.

Mavericks guard Delonte West did not attend the event in the East Room, even though the Secret Service said he had been cleared along with his teammates.

West pleaded guilty to weapons possession charges after a September 2009 traffic stop in suburban Maryland. He told The Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he was "banned" from the White House on Monday because of the weapons charges, but Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said in fact West could have taken part. A team spokeswoman, Sarah Melton, also said West was not banned from the White House ceremony but declined to comment on why he didn't attend.

West was not a member of the championship squad but joined the Mavericks prior to this season.
