A new mp3 player has been unveiled which comes pre-loaded with music by US rock legends Journey.

The Zvue mp3 player comes complete with eleven classic Journey songs including Don’t Stop Believin’ and Any Way You Want It, together with the full recording of their latest album Revelation.

Also, the design of the 1GB mp3 player’s casing is based on the artwork of the new album.

Jeff Oscodar, president of Zvue, said that the device will offer "generations of customers with many hours of listening enjoyment".

"We are excited about partnering with one of the greatest rock bands in history and continuing to work with Wal-Mart to provide exciting ways for customers to enjoy new and classic music," he added.

The announcement of the Zvue follows the unveiling of Creative’s new Zen Mosaic, which the company claims has "a bold design statement".

It comes in silver, pink or black and sizes up to 8GB, with a 16GB model planned for a later release.

Apple has reported a strong second quarter with its sales growing by 38 per cent over the period.

US analyst firm Gartner found that the company now holds 8.5 per cent of the US market and is seeing its sales growing at a faster rate than any other manufacturer.

Vnunet.com reports that it sits behind Hewlett Packard, which has consolidated its market leader position with a market share of 31.9 per cent.

HP experienced 11 per cent sales growth over the second quarter of 2008.

Mika Kitagawa, principal analyst for Gartner’s client computing markets group, said that IT budgets are "tightening" due to "growing economic uncertainty".

"Desk-based PCs gained traction among some professional users. Because desk-based PC deployment costs are still lower than that of mobile PCs, they provide a less expensive option for buyers with tighter budgets," added Mr Kitagawa.

Apple recently announced that it sold one million iPhone 3Gs in the first three days of its launch.

An IT security expert has warned that not protecting your wireless internet connection could lead to potential threats from opportunists.

New research by security firm Kaspersky found that only 37 per cent of home wireless routers are security protected.

The Kaspersky Wireless Internet Access Survey found that 57 per cent of UK homes are now wirelessly enabled and the firm has posted advice on its website to correctly ensure that a home router is securely protected.

David Emm, senior technology consultant for the firm, said: "You would not leave your windows and doors unlocked when you go out for fear of being burgled, but by failing to adequately protect yourself when using wireless internet access you are doing just that."

He warned that an opportunist could intercept data and hijack a home internet access point.

Barclays Bank recently chose Kaspersky as its official partner to protect its online banking customers free internet security software.

New research has found that a high proportion of UK businesses are failing to put internal security procedures into practice.

A report by the security division of Bell Micro has said that companies are still not effectively using internet safety measures in their offices "despite growing awareness of the potential consequences".

The study found that 56 per cent of respondents believed that employee passwords were family names or their "favourite sports", reports vnunet.com.

Bell Micro warns that this information can easily be found on social networking sites, of which 41 per cent of offices still permit their employees to access.

Steve Browell, general manager of Bell Micro’s security division, told the website that the research shows that staff are "the weak link in the security chain".

"There is still too much reliance on non-random password protection which can easily be hacked by identifying personal information freely distributed on social networking sites," he added.

The recent Information Security Forum said that criminal gangs are seeing online crime as a "lucrative and low risk alternative to robbing a bank".

Computer Weekly reported that social engineering attacks are being increasingly used to steal identities and commit fraud.
