So, The X Fatctor is yet again proving a huge commercial success, and with the acts dwindling each week the excitement is building. Who will win the X Factor and that all-important recording contract, and probable Christmas number one? More importantly though, how do you download the X Factor performances? Here is our easy guide on how to download X Factor songs:

How to download X Factor songs:

1) Download iTunes from Apple

First things first, X Factor songs in 2011 are exclusive to iTunes, so you need to download iTunes first. It’s free and you can get iTunes here

2) Download the X Factor Songs

Once you have iTunes installed on your computer you can search for ‘X Factor’, and it will bring up all the X Factor performances for you to download – from Amelia Lily to Craig Colton or Janet Devlin. You can preview the performances before you buy them – they cost just under £1 for each song.

3) Get something to play them on!

Once you’ve downloaded the X Factor songs to iTunes you can play them through your PC or Mac simply by selecting them and pressing play. But if you want to take the songs with you on the go you will need an iPod or iPhone to play them on. The new Apple operating system now allows songs to be synced wirelessly between devices, so you won’t even need to plug your iPod into your computer – the songs will be automatically transferred.

For decades now the focal point of many a living room has been the television, quietly beaming hours of entertainment to an expectant family. And while this remains the case, the television isn’t just confined to your living room anymore. Gadget Show presenter Ortis Deley looked for the best budget television for your bedroom, and here was the winner:

Hanspree 28 inch SV28LMNB TV

This Hannspree 28 inch TV took the prize of Best Bedroom TV according to The Gadget Show for a variety of reasons. The SV28LMNB only has 2 HDMI inputs and 1 scart, but Ortis Deley considered this more than enough for him and his bedroom. The remote has a nice weight to it, is well laid out and easy to read. Whilst not overly attractive, the EPG of the Hannspree SV28LMNB was functional. Picture quality in both HD and SD is very good.

The vacuum cleaner on The Young Apprentice is one of the best vacuum cleaners we’ve seen. It’s about a quarter of the weight of your traditional hoover, but the maxi vacuum cleaner packs 600W of power. As they said on The Young Apprentice, you can feel the power of the device in your hand when you switch it on.

The vacuum cleaner from The Young Apprentice is lightweight, small and portable. It also converts quickly from an upright to a handheld, making it a great hoover for the stairs or a car.

This week’s Something for the Weekend gadgets included a 3D headset, a new Samsung tablet/phone hybrid and a piano teachin app for the iPad.

First up was the Sony 3D headset, or to give it it’s official name, the Sony Head Mounted Display (Sony HMD). The Sony HMZ T1 3D headset is being manufactured for the mass market due to popular demand for the product.

As you can see from the pic, you’re gonna look like a Star Trek character wearing the HMZ T1. This may or may not appeal to you, but what is bound to appeal is the HD and 3D experience you can get from this headset. 2 0.7 inch 720p OLED screens work together to give you an amazing 3D picture, and the speakers built into the Sony 3D headset produce virtual surround sound that is crisp and clear. This gadget will immerse you fully into whatever you choose to watch on it. It can be hooked up to a PS3 or a Bluray / DVD player allowing you to play games in 3D or watch movies on it. Using this 3D headset is like watching a film at the cinema.

The price of the Sony HMD HMZ T1 is around £800. When you consider that this is much cheaper than your average 3D TV, it doesn’t seem too pricey. It’s available to pre-order from the Sony website.

Next up was the Samsung Galaxy Note. Your initial reaction to the Note may be ‘Wow, that’s a giant smartphone’, but Samsung has positioned this device somewhere between a tablet and a smartphone, aiming to provide the best of both worlds. The Samsung Galaxy Note has a 5 inch screen, full phone functionality but the bigger screen allows for improved web browsing and media viewing. The Note comes with an S pen, a multifunctional stylus which enables you to do things like annotate documents, web pages or pictures. A digital scribe’s dream.

The final Something for the Weekend gadget was the Ion Piano Apprentice. This mini keyboard and app are designed to teach you how to play the piano. You download the Ion Piano Apprentice app onto your iPad from the App Store, then your iPad slots into the mini ion keyboard. The app and keyboard automatically sync, and the keys on the Ion Piano Apprentice keyboard light up when they need to be played. The iPad displays a video simultaneously telling you exactly what you need to do. Reginald D Hunter said it was kind of like Simon Says for a piano. At £80 it’s a great Christmas present for anyone who wants to learn how to play the piano.
