If you watched the Oscars last night, you probably saw the commercials for the iPad, now set to hit U.S. stores on April 3.  Nerds around the country are peeing in their pants … including us folks here at AMP Radio.

We can feel the anticipation for Apple’s latest techie contraption, the Apple iPad (yeah, yeah, we’ve heard all the jokes).  The glorified iTouch has nerds’ panties in a twist with its sleek, LED back-light, multi-touch screen design that enhances web browsing, watching movies and viewing photos. 

The iPad will be available in the U.S. April 3 starting at a conservative $499.  Additional accessories designed especially for the iPad include a keyboard dock and case.  Pre-order starts March 12th on the Apple Online Store or reserve for pickup at an Apple retail store.

I can see the camp outs and long lines now outside Apple stores across the country for this release.  Learn more about the iPad here. 

Who can’t wait for the iPad to hit stores? Do you think it’s worth the buy or is it all hype?  Share your comments below!

In addition to Lady Gaga taking the coveted number one spot British sweetheart Lily Allen took third, Beyonce came in sixth and Kanye West had took tenth, rounding out the AMP artists in the Top 10.  More AMP artists infiltrated the list with Britney Spears in eleventh place, Taylor Swift at thirteen, the Black Eyed Peas at fifteen and Kelly Clarkson landing in the eighteenth spot.

Last.fm’s list was compiled from data received from listeners computers.  The website explains:

We compiled the list by looking at scrobbles for albums released between 1st October 2008 and 16th November 2009. We took out live albums, greatest hits collections, EP’s and singles before pulling them together into the lean, mean format you see before your eyes

Since the was compiled from information from listeners own data, you were in charge of the list. Do you think it is an accurate depiction of your listening habits or does it fail to reflect your musical tastes at all?  Check out the entire list at Last.fm and let us know what you think!

Find out how to download the application here!]]> T-Pain decided that auto-tune was bigger than the recording studio and because of this, he teamed up with software company Smule & iTunes to bring the auto-tune audio capability to iPhones everywhere. The iPhone application allows users to auto-tune their voice among other things after downloading the app for $2.99.

Essentially, T-Pain’s idea was born out of necessity; the necessity to be more awesome than all the other artists out there with iPhone applications. After teaming up with Smule, they collaborated and realized T-Pain’s perfect iPhone application would be auto-tune for the iPhone.

“It’s actually the same software that I use in the studio, so if anybody actually wanted to be T-Pain, then there you go,” T-Pain said.

I wonder if this application will lead to the birth of many up & coming T-Pains. I for one realize that I never fully understood my musical potential until I downloaded T-Pain’s application. You can check out my auto tune’s here, as well as download the application. And since then, well let’s say I’ve become a maestro of sorts.

Have you downloaded T-Pain’s application? If so, leave a link to your tunes in the comment section and share your work with the world!

Recently I found myself in a battle with my Ex over various social websites like Facebook and Twitter.  After we broke up we decided to still be friends and keep in contact, but things went terribly wrong.  I was out with friends when I ran into him drunk and he was all over some girl that we both know.  I was disgusted and pissed that he was doing that right in front of me!  When I got home I went on Facebook and changed my status to:  OF ALL THE THINGS I HAVE EVER BEEN A DRUNK RAPEY A$$HOLE IS NOT ONE OF THEM.  This begin a week long war between us on Facebook and Twitter, ending with me deleting him as a friend.  Should I never bring him up on there anymore?  I am just so mad that I want to continue to comment about what an idiot he is.  It is my right to use social networks as I please, right?

Sincerely,

Tweeting with fury

Oh Tweeting,

You made one of the cardinal mistakes of social networking: b*tchin’ about an ex out of frustration to get attention from them.  Let’s face it, you went out of your way to go home and let him know online what a piece of crap you thought he was. If homeboy had the tiniest bit of intelligence he’d have deleted you the second he saw your status update and ignored you FOREVER.  Obviously, the two of you have unfinished business, but get a grip and some self worth.  Bickering over Facebook or Twitter does not make you a lady, it makes you a child, like Miley Cyrus, who’s been in some heated exchanges with her own ex Justin via Twitter.  Take it from me, if you really want to hurt a man ignore him forever and move on with your life.  Nothing burns like knowing you cannot phase someone anymore.

Love,

Orlando

After a crazy week of celebrity deaths (Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays, Ed McMahon), one hacker decided it would be funny to hack Britney Spears’ Twitter account and pronounce her dead as well. 

The update read:

“Britney has passed today.  It is a sad day for everyone.  More news to come.”

Attached was a photo of a cross.

More news: this tweet is FALSE.

Thankfully, the tweet was removed from the social networking site soon after it was posted.  Apparantly Ellen DeGeneres’ and Diddy’s accounts were also hacked with fake death accouncements. 

Twitter needs to get their security under control!  Death is not funny no matter how you look at it.
