It’s seems the fame monster, Lady Gaga and her single Born This Way has become the fastest selling track on iTunes, no mean feat and one that has undoubtedly been spurred on by Twitter and social networking. Gaga is the most followed person on Twitter with a might impressive 8.2 million followers, over the last week this has undoubtedly helped her rake in the sales but not for the reason you would expect, it’s not through spamming her followers but more like ranting at them about a claim the song was like Madonna’s ‘Express Yourself’. This...

The Samsung YP-Q3 MP3 Player is the successor to the popular Q2 model, although the amount of changes and tweaks which are included on it means that it is pretty far removed from its big brother. What Comes With It? If you just love to pretend that it is Christmas when you open the box of a new gadget then you will like the presentation but won’t find all that many accessories to spend time over here. Once you open the clear plastic packaging and spill out the contents you will only see the player itself, a micro USB cable, some earphones...
Samsung is going to launch their hotly anticipated Galaxy Player next week at the International Consumer Electronics Show – CES 2011. The device will be the first of its’ kind as it will run on Android 2.2 (Froyo) – critics and analysts are already hailing the device as a possible iPod killer, a bold claim but one that could be true, on paper at least. The device will be a mere 9.9mm thick, be powered by a 1GHz Hummingbird Processor, include a 4-inch touch screen, a DVB Tuner, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Dual-camera, GPS support, HD video...
After a week of 3D over the last few days it makes something of a pleasant change (although we’re really not complaining about being indundated with 3D goodies) to write about something else. In this case, it’s all about social networking and the social web. Twitter has reached its 20 billionth tweet in excellent time while Facebook looks likely to postpone its float on the stock exchange until 2012 so it can further build its revenue base but Spotify has denied market rumours instead stating that they will be ready for a 2010...

A pre-release version of an iPod Touch has been showcased by a Vietnamese site, sporting the interesting addition of a two megapixel camera. The images that were turned up by the Tinhte site clearly show that the iPod Touch in question is not a finalised version and given that it looks nothing like the iPhone 4G, but rather like the current generation iPod and iPhone, could indicate that Apple has some serious changes planned. Keen observers have pointed out that the serial number displayed on the prototype marks it out as originating...
If you’re on the look out for cheap, popular music then the relatively fledgling Amazon download store is apparently the place to hit at the moment with the price of a single currently cheaper than that of a single more than 40 years ago (none of the “good old days” nonsense this time around, eh?). While the music industry at large might try to tell us that this is a bad thing, and it will certainly mean less and less royalties for the artists, what it means in real terms to you and I is that we can purchase singles from the...
The Sony X Series Walkman, the latest in what is becoming a reasonably long line of touch screen MP3 players, is released in stores today and on the face of it everything looks pretty good. It offers the functionality to, as we’ve come to expect from such devices, listen to music, view pictures, and watch video clips. However, Sony has opted to offer OLED screen and has digital noise cancelling technology as standard and includes an FM radio (for the majority that’s not likely to be a deciding factor, but for others it will...
