The Top 10 Workout Songs For November. What’s Yours?

I USED to be able to keep up it music. I knew artists, albums, words. I had a wall of cassette tapes circa 1987…

Which was replaced with a tower fo CDs in college…

WHICH I stayed up all night and ripped when I got my first iPod…

WHICH looks ancient now!

Moral of the story… I’M OLD!

I admit it. I can’t keep up. I run my own business, have 2 kids, a house that needs to be cleaned, meals that need to be cooked and, umm yea, I have to sleep!

Honestly, I’ve been listening to 95% of the same music for the last 10 years. Sure, now and then I download a new tune but half of them are older ones I’m just learning about.

It’s sad.

Well, I think it’s sad, but only because I miss discovering new music. So when Chris from RunHundred asked if I’d like a few new song suggestions, I hopped on the idea. He’s going to shoot a new top 10 every month to share on the site. This months….

This month’s top 10 list has a little of what you’d expect—and a little you might not.  Flo Rida, who’s no stranger to this list, shows up in two tracks this month.  Enrique Iglesias continues his transition from balladeer to club rocker.  And Kelly Clarkson, after faltering with the first single off her new album, bounced back ferociously with the second.

As for surprises, they’re mostly entries from folks relatively new on the dance scene.  Highlights include songs from Tim Berg (who remixed his own track under his Avicii moniker), Skrillex (whose collaboration with Kaskade is the first dubstep track ever the make the Top 10), and Wolfgang Gartner (who’s made the chart with a little help fromWill.I.Am).

Here’s the full list, according to votes placed at Run Hundred–the web’s most popular blog for workout songs.

To find more workout songs–and hear next month’s contenders–folks can check out Run Hundred’s free database of music for working out.  Visitors can browse the song selections there by genre, tempo, and era—to find the music that best fits with their particular workout routine.

I’d love your reviews in the comments? Do you listen to any of these during your workouts? Have any new song suggestions yourself?

T-Mobile to be First out of Gate with Galaxy Tab on November 10 (UPDATE)

T-Mobile will be the first wireless provider in the United States to offer the Samsung Galaxy Tab.  We just received a "press release" advising that the 7-inch Android tablet will arrive on the nation's fourth largest carrier on November 10th.  Unfortunately the release didn't indicate anything at all in terms of pricing or data plans.  Instead, they are directing interested parties to a website to sign up for more information.  Looks like there will be another press release in the near future.

UPDATE: A second press release just hit the wire indicating the T-Mobile tablet will run $399.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and two-year service agreement.  Pre-loaded applications will include Samsung Media Hub, Qik Video Chat, Kindle for Android and Slacker Radio. Customers will be able to grab the 5GB or 200MB webConnect mobile broadband plans or the new prepaid mobile broadband plans.PRESS RELEASE

T-Mobile to Launch Samsung Galaxy Tab™ Nov. 10

Galaxy Tab hits stores first at T-Mobile, delivers powerful Web and entertainment experiences

BELLEVUE, Wash. — Oct. 27, 2010 T-Mobile USA, Inc. and Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile), the No. 1 mobile phone provider in the United States1, today announced that T-Mobile will be the first to launch the Samsung Galaxy Tab™ in the U.S. T-Mobile’s first Android™-powered tablet, the Galaxy Tab delivers access to rich content on a seven-inch touch screen for a truly mobile entertainment experience. It is expected to be available at T-Mobile retail stores and online Nov. 10.

Adding fuel to the entertainment experience on the Galaxy Tab is T-Mobile’s super-fast HSPA+ mobile broadband network, which delivers a speed boost allowing the 3G-enabled device to load Web pages and videos even faster than in areas of 3G coverage2. The brilliant enhanced TFT screen and sleek, compact form factor allow customers to bring the Galaxy Tab’s multimedia capabilities to life for themselves or to share, combining all their entertainment and communication needs into one device.

“Customers want richer, deeper interactions with entertainment and online content through connected, portable mobile broadband devices that are small enough to carry and big enough to share with friends and family,” said Jeremy Korst, director of broadband products and services, T-Mobile USA. “T-Mobile’s unique offerings on the Galaxy Tab paired with the power of T-Mobile’s new network allow us to bring a truly differentiated portable entertainment offering to market.”

The multimedia experience that makes the Galaxy Tab a powerful choice for entertainment enthusiasts includes the following:

Samsung Media Hub
Samsung Media Hub offers a vast lineup of critically acclaimed films and TV programs for rent or purchase from some of the biggest names in entertainment, including MTV Networks, NBC Universal, Paramount and Warner Brothers. Customers can  share content on up to five Media Hub-enabled devices, watch movies in seconds with Progressive Download, and get access to new release movies – some the day they are released on DVD.  Customers can also watch series premieres and their favorite TV shows the day after they air. Samsung worked closely with all of the content providers to ensure that each movie and TV show is optimized to deliver a premium entertainment experience.

Qik Video Chat
Unlike other video-calling solutions that only work over Wi-Fi, Video Chat on the Galaxy Tab from T-Mobile enables customers to connect with friends and family from wherever they might be through T-Mobile’s network or Wi-Fi. With the Galaxy Tab’s front-facing camera paired with Qik Video Chat, customers can hold video conversations with those who have a Galaxy Tab or other compatible mobile device or PC, or even broadcast their view through the rear-facing camera. Customers also have the option to leave Video Mail using Qik when someone is unavailable.

Kindle for Android™
The Kindle for Android application lets customers shop for hundreds of thousands of books in the Kindle Store, including New York Times® Best Sellers and new releases from $9.99.  Using Amazon’s Whispersync technology, customers can automatically synchronize the last page read, bookmarks, annotations, and more across multiple devices.

Slacker Radio
Slacker is a free, customizable internet radio application with over 130 DJ-programmed genre stations and the ability for customers to create their own. With millions of songs from thousands of artists, Slacker allows customers to discover new artists and hear their favorite music and provide feedback on what they like and don’t like with the click of a button. Customers can also access detailed artist biographies, in-depth album reviews and album cover art.

T-Mobile customers will enjoy a rich, brilliant viewing experience on the Galaxy Tab, which features a WSVGA enhanced TFT display combined with 3D-like graphics and full support for Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1 for accessing Flash-enabled websites, watching video and playing games. Running on Android 2.2 and with built-in support for T-Mobile’s super-fast mobile broadband network and Wi-Fi, the Galaxy Tab’s portable screen is ideal for watching the latest movies and entertainment or experiencing thousands of widgets, games and applications on Android Market™.

Beyond entertainment, the Galaxy Tab also offers mobile broadband essentials such as easy access to personal and work e-mail, including support for Microsoft® Exchange e-mail, contacts and calendar. In addition, the Galaxy Tab can support up to 32 GB of expandable microSD memory. Customers purchasing the Galaxy Tab can take advantage of T-Mobile’s monthly 5GB or 200MB webConnect mobile broadband plans or the newly launched prepaid mobile broadband offerings.
