Samsung will be showing off the Galaxy Player – an iPod touch competitor – at this year’s CES. The device will have the Android FroYo OS, front and rear-facing cameras, a 1GHz processor and HD video playback. With so many similar features to the iPod, the yet to be revealed price point may be a deciding factor. In other news, Amazon.com says the Kindle 3s is the all-time best seller on Amazon.com.

Now these sales figures are good news for Amazon, but they have still lost 15% of the eReader market this year .
