I just got a press release letting us know that iTunes now has passed Wal-Mart on the list of the largest music retailers in the US. “The iTunes Store became the largest music retailer in the US based on the amount of music sold during January and February 2008.“. Pretty impressive: 50 million customers, 4 billion sold songs – in less than 5 years.
Dolby is about to launch an adaption of their Dolby headphone tecnhology called ‘Dolby Mobile’. It’s an application that runs in the background while you listen to music or catch a flick on your phone. Currently it’s Symbian only but that will most probably change.
When paired with a decent set of headphones, the Dolby signal processing is really amazing.

The design of this Lexon clock radio is actually pretty simple, but there is something special about it that I really like! The price hasn’t been announced yet but a similiar product from Lexon has a price tag that reads $70. The unit will be available in either brushed anodized aluminum or gold finish.

You probably remember Microsoft ultra cool new piece of hardware and software they call Microsoft Surface. They have been working with the product since 2001 and it looks like the Surface will be launched on a broader scale and at a reasonable price level in 2011. It sounds a bit far away if you would ask me and I hope we will get a decent product earlier than that (Apple, come on get a move on on this one!).

Today the Firefox crew released the final beta (next release will be the first release candidate) of the upcoming Firefox 3 browser and Percy Cabello over at Mozilla Links has put together a nice 4 page review of the latest release. The Beta 5 contains over 750 (!) fixes since the last version and it looks promising:
What is left? From a user perspective I would say almost nothing besides some retouches here and there to the user interface. Behind the scenes, however, work never ends: performance improvements, web standards compliance and edge cases are still being ironed.

If you got $5500 to spend and love Star Wars you might want to check out these cool life-size replicas of R2D2 and C3PO. Especially the C3PO looks really cool! I wish the price was $500 though…

Traditional hard drives may be ready for museums faster than expected. Today Samsung announced that they have developed a new 64 Gigabit (Gb) multi level cell NAND flash memory chip – which basically means that the density of flash memories has doubled yet again, in other words you can expect to have at least 128 GB of storage in your iPhone in 2009.

Here is the biggest ad space in Russia, but I think that it actually can be one of the biggest in the whole world. The cars you see in the background are full size cars, complete with lighting in the night. The advertiser is BMW and it is a promotion campaign for their new BMW M5. The ad is more than 6000 square meters big and it is located in Moscow.
