Bad news for Myspace as it has announced today that it is to axe nearly half of its workforce. The cuts will see 500 people face the chop. This is due to the ever increasing popularity of Facebook. Myspace has tried to rebrand itself recently, to what it calls "a social entertainment destination" let's hope, for the sake of the other 500 or so people working there, that it works. However, social networking gods, Facebook have been touted to release their first ever phone, named the INQ Cloud touch. The phone will be powered by Android and the homescreen will have multiple entry points to Facebook functions. Keep an eye out for the Facebook TV and laptop in the near future, it could happen...

This year's Mobile World Congress, taking place in February, is set to be when Nokia unveil their much anticipated N9.
