Pre-order available for Samsung Galaxy Player on Amazon UK

By Molly McHugh Published January 3, 2011

We’re just days away from getting a peek at the Samsung Galaxy Player in person at CES, but Amazon’s UK site already has the device on preorder. The online retailer is listing the MP3 player as available in 8GB and 16GB versions, and in white only. So far, there’s no sight of a 32GB option.

As reported, the device appears to function identically to the Samsung Galaxy S (save cellular capabilities of course). A promo showing off the Galaxy Player’s features really makes it look like this could be a well-developed Android answer the iPhone-iPod Touch duo.

The best note-taking apps for iOS and Android

I tested these apps for months so your notes never have to switch homes again.

Choosing a note-taking app is not easy. What note-taking app you choose depends on your needs, the platform you use, and of course, the cost. The process becomes even more complicated as it seems that there’s a new shiny app released every other week.

That’s why I always suggest choosing a note-taking app that has all the features you need and can last you for a long time. Also, don’t chase new apps. The real power of a note-taking app comes when all your notes live in one place, making it easy to spot connections between them.

Snapchat Planets Meaning: Order, Rankings, and How Friend Solar System Works

Snapchat Planets turns your best friends list into a solar system, and yes, your orbit says a lot

Snapchat+ includes several exclusive features, but few have generated as much curiosity as Snapchat Planets. Part of the app's Friend Solar System, it transforms your Best Friends list into a planetary ranking, assigning each of your top eight friends a planet based on how often you interact.

From Mercury, which represents your closest friend, to Neptune, which represents your eighth closest, the system offers a quick visual snapshot of your interactions. But what do the different planets actually mean, and how does Snapchat decide who gets which one?
