Well, you can customize org-agenda-prefix-format and remove the "%-12:c" from 
each of the strings where you do not want the category to be shown.  Note that 
the two leading space characters in these formats are necessary IIRC, for 
technical reasons.

(setq org-agenda-prefix-format
      '((agenda . " %i %?-12t% s")
        (timeline . "  % s")
        (todo . " %i ")
        (tags . " %i ")
        (search . " %i "))
