Google is pulling the plug on GOOG-411. This was the voice power directory assistance that let you find businesses in the US and Canada. Google was using this to better learn speech to text but now the company says it wants to focus on its mobile search apps that also allows for voice searching. GOOG-411 will shut down on Nov 12th.
Facebook launches something called Friendship Pages that lets you see the interaction between yourself and individual friends or between two friends. For instance, what are the posts from Wall to Wall, the events responded to the photos with both people. The pages are alive but not accessible to everyone yet. Also, I'm not sure this is a healthy way to stick your nose into other people's businesses.
If you are planning on getting a Windows Phone 7 you will be able to read your Kindle books on it. Amazon has announced that it will have a mobile Kindle app for Windows Phone 7 that will let you read your books and think your places across devices. Amazon already does have Kindle apps for Android Blackberry and iPhone.
Twitter has also announced Windows Phone 7 client. It has all the Twitter functions timeline, suggested users, lists etc. It's available now.
And T-Mobile's first 4G Phone will hit shelves Nov 3rd. That's next Wednesday. The myTouch 4G uses HSPA plus 14.4 networking which gives speeds up to 7 mbps. That's fast, as fast as your home DSL in some cases. The phone also has Wi-Fi video chat, a Front-Facing 5-megapixel camera, 720p video capture and 1GHz Snap Dragon processor. It costs $199 after $50 mail-in rebate.
And Flickr has gone OpenID. This means you'll be able to log into Flickr with your online ID from other companies. For starters this only works with Google so you can log into Flickr with your Google account. Surely Facebook and other mail clients are close behind.
Those are your headlines for today. And that wraps up your week of getting loaded. I see you on Monday. Have a great weekend. I'm Natali Del Conte from CNet.com and you've just been loaded.
