So I'm watching TV while catching up, from a weekend in LA, on some reading and I had to rewind the DVR for this one.  The commercial started out in a narrative of a "music hunter that prowls the streets" (paraphrasing).  The guy in the commercial stops in front of a shop were a creepy guy stands watching, seemingly, for potential suckers and a small boom box is playing a song that catches the guys attention.  He raises his phone and clicks a button.  A second later he looks at the phone and in its display reads - "Song ID: Song Identified": with the songs name. 

Oh - that's frick'n cool!

The commercial was for one of Verizon's V Cast phones.  However, after some quick, and very light, research I find that the technology isn't brand new (no big surprise - coming out of Verizon) or limited to any provider for that matter.  Take a look at the Verizon feature and here's a good post on the subject where the writer describes the possible technology behind the Verizon implementation as well as some alternatives for non-Verizon customers, like me.
