Flickr has released a new version of its
mobile site that affords several new features, most notably the ability to stream
video clips up to 90-seconds in length. Video streaming will be initially available for only the iPhone and iPod Touch, with support for other handsets that use Webkit, Firefox Mobile, or Opera Mini to come. Previously, users could
upload videos to Flickr from mobile devices but this is the first time they can actually watch them on their phones.

A Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology spokesperson has today delivered a statement affirming China's willingness to allow Android devices to operate within the country without restriction so long as they adhere to the nation's laws. This means that whatever China's response to Google
no longer obeying its censorship edicts may be, it won't be to disallow Android -- which kind of makes sense considering the
growing roster of OPhones out there, all running a remixed version of the
dessert-loving mobile OS. Then again, Google's latest power play was to
hold back Android handsets from entering China, so we're not entirely sure how much the Mountain View outfit cares about the Middle Kingdom's apparent benevolence.

Good news, Palm fans! If you've taken a break from jamming on the "Update" button, it's time to go tap it one last time: the rollout of webOS 1.4 has just begun. The catch: it seems that it's only for Sprint handsets right now, with the Verizon Pre Plus and Pixi Plus still reporting that 1.3 is the latest release. We knew it was coming in February thanks to Palm's announcement at CES -- and thanks to the rumor mill, we were all lead to believe it was coming
a few weeks ago. All false starts and false hopes aside, it's available now. We're seeing reports (thanks Twitter!) that it
just has gone live on Sprint handsets.

We can't say that we'll miss the awkwardly named
Comes with Music service branding from Nokia. Of course, we're making the assumption that India's recently christened Ovi Music Unlimited store will be making its way global as Nokia continues to
tighten up its service offerings in the race to compete in the era of modern smartphones. It's certainly consistent with the new
Ovi Music naming convention so why not. Otherwise, it looks like nothing else about the all you can eat (for a year) music offering has changed --
particularly the DRM that locks "
your" music to your PC or
CWM OMU handsets for life-
ish.

GM plans to offer a mobile application for smartphones that will let OnStar users access vehicle status and maintenance information and actually control their vehicle directly from their handsets.
