Not all mobile news is destined for the front page, but if you're like us and really want to know what's going on, then you've come to the right place. This past week, one clever individual has repackaged HTC's Beats equalizer for use on any Android smartphone, and we've also come across news of additional language support for Siri that's set to arrive later this year. These stories and more await after the break. So buy the ticket and take the ride as we explore the "best of the rest" for this week of March 5th, 2012.

Nokia to shutter Ovi Share on March 13th
And just like that, the fate of Nokia's Ovi Share has been cemented: the Finnish company announced that individuals will be unable to upload any files to the cloud-based storage service past March 13th. Also, existing users will need to retrieve their data from Ovi Share by May 30th. Otherwise, much like the cloud itself, the files within will evaporate into thin air. Perhaps it's time to hop on board with SkyDrive, no?
