It's the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, so if the UN should want to get rid of all of the world's tedious mobile phone geeks in one go, well, this is the week to mount an attack.

Among the announcements due to be made at the conference is one by mobile music people Omnifone, who power various mobile music services around the world, many carrying their own MusicStation brand. The company has developed a version of its MusicStation service that will run on the Android mobile phone operating system, and they will be demonstrating it at MWC this week. 

The MusicStation Android API Suite will then be made available to Android device vendors, independent application developers and mobile network operators who might want to plug into Omnifone's music platform and make it available via an Android framework.

Omnifone CEO Rob Lewis told CMU: "With fully localised catalogues in more than 20 countries, and the widest and most sophisticated device type support, Omnifone can provide fully licensed digital music services in more countries and on more device platforms, including Android, than any other digital music service provider. The popularity and growth of the Android platform will be substantial. Omnifone is delighted to be able to deliver the richest and most sophisticated music capability on mobile, and one that will work effortlessly on any manufacturer's Android device".
 
As previously reported, Omnifone recently announced its first major move into the web-based domain with the bundling of the MusicStation streaming and download service onto HP computers.
