Should be an option somewhere in the phonebook settings when you go to a contact and choose forward all calls to voicemail, although I am on stock android at the minute and I use handcent SMS, which allows you to block contacts messages.

Whoa! Only a few hours after sending out a notification about a big Market maintenance, Google sneakily updated the Market publishing interface with a variety of new options, pointing to nothing less than an updated Market likely to launch very soon, probably together with Gingerbread. The presence of higher resolution graphics underscores Google’s newly embraced support for tablets and TVs, and possibly suggests that Market web interface we’ve been waiting for since Google I/O is finally around the corner.
Here are all the new options available to developers publishing their apps, in addition to the 2 screenshots and the promotional graphic+text (I can’t think of a place where the latter is used):
High Resolution Application Icon – 512w x 512h, 24 bit PNG or JPEG (no alpha). This seems to be a required field now
Feature Graphic – 1024w x 500h, 24 bit PNG or JPEG (no alpha), will be downsized to mini or micro
Promotional Video - Enter YouTube URL
The existing Promo Text and Promo Graphic fields are probably about to start playing a big role as well, as they’ve been sitting idle for as long as I can remember.
Excitement, can you feel it!?

Rovio are meant to be making a sequel to Angry Birds. Potentially from the point of view of the Pigs. Also they are thinking about added a multiplayer feature to the game.

Right after trying all the browsers out again :p

I have decided that opera mini is the one to stick with, it is just too fast for everything, renders the pages much better for me than what it did last time I tried it (months ago), although some images don't look as good for me as what they do on the stock browser etc.

If only it had multi-touch though :(

Also much prefer the UI as well.

I've gone back to the stock browser. It just does everything with least fuss and fewest force closes.

Yup, true when compared to most browsers especially when compared to xscope which for me force closed non stop especially when more than 3 tabs where opened.

But I am really loving opera mini at the minute, it hasn't forced closed once with loads of tabs opened, not even slowed down one bit.

Also some guy at XDA has ported the MUI ROM (A.K.A also known as miren browser) browser as an installable apk, which seems pretty nice, but a slower and more sluggish feeling compared to opera mini and stock IMO.

But the amount of features and customization is pretty nice.
