We mentioned last week that we had heard that Samsung were planning to unveil their Galaxy Player at CES. Well, now the player has appeared on Amazon.co.uk and is available to pre order.
There are two versions to choose from. The 8GB at £149.99 or the 16GB for only £179.99. Amazon are listing the Samsung Galaxy Player as being in stock from the 7th but we all know this quite often changes. Anyway, I have my pre order in so we will bring you some videos and a full review in the coming weeks, fingers crossed.
See the product info and specs (as listed on Amazon) after the break:
As you know, I love unboxing new things and today in this video I’m looking at a few new handsets that are a bit more out of the ordinary. When I tell you that they only have a 2MP camera, have their own operating systems and 2″ screens you might think that I’m looking at phones from a few years back but in fact these JBCB Toughphones are brand new. They may seem a little more basic than your average phone on the market but there is a reason; each of these phones is designed to be water and dust resistant as well as being ruggedised. Ideal for those in the construction industry or those working around water and other potential hazards.
So take a look at the video below where I have a look at each of the handsets in the Toughphone range.
There are just a few days left to enter our Christmas podcast competition so I thought I would give you all a quick reminder.
For a chance to win either a fantastic Toshiba HD camcorder or a John’s Phone as reviewed by Gareth. Entry is easy, either listen to Podcast 100 or the reminder podcast for the competition question and instructions on how to enter.
We’ll randomly pick a winner later this week and will announce on the first podcast of the new year.
Good luck!

For those of you that love your photography and want DSLR quality in a compact form the new Panasonic DMC-GF2 might be worth a look. The GF2 was first revealed back in November and now Panasonic are accepting pre-orders and are offering early adopters a free photopack worth £150!
We hope to have one of these to review early in the new year too.
Full details in the press release from Panasonic below:
Holy smoke, this one has a shed load of internal storage! Unfortunately this latest offering from Archos is lacking Android 2.3 and instead comes with 2.2, but I am sure that will bet sorted soon with an update.
See the full press release below:
A few days ago I mentioned that Skype were planning to make video calling available on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Today we’ve heard from Skype and they’ve told us that the the Skype update for iPhone is already available from the App Store. Indeed a visit to the store this morning reveals the update sitting there waiting for me.
I’ll be checking it out later today and will report back!
Check out Skype’s full press release below:
We have know for a while that Motorola have been working on a Android tablet running Honeycomb, but what we didn’t know was when it would be officially presented to us. Motorola have released the below video which apart from being genius (so i think) confirms that they will be showing off the new device at CES in the USA early next month.
Rather than guessing at specs etc lets just be patient for a couple of weeks and get it from the horses mouth. Could this put a dampener on the Samsung Galaxy Tab?
Samsung have made MP3 players for years but at long last it looks like they may well have an alternative to the Apple iPod Touch. The Galaxy Player is believed to be unveiled at CES in the States next week and looking at its specs it would appear to be a beast!
The 9.9mm thick Galaxy Player (YP-GB1) runs on Android 2.2 Froyo OS and features a 1GHz CPU, 4-inch Super Clear LCD screen supporting up to WVGA resolution (800×480), T-DMB, SoundAlive audio enhancing technology, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, 3.2MP rear camera with front facing camera for video calling, GPS, HD video playback, microSD card slot, Android Market and Samsung Apps access and a 1200mAh removable battery.
Sounds a bit of alright, but I wonder how much it will cost. I think I had better start saving.
