Choosing the best PMPs besides iPod nano

The first fight for top sport sees the excellent Samsung YP – S5 and the Samsung T10 slug it out with the iPod Nano (3G here), the SanDisk Sansa E280 and the iRiver X20 go neck and neck with everyone.

The highs sound excellent, however, and female vocals are delivered outstandingly.

After all, exploration is a leastpe activity, isn't it?

Why it is good - A hacker's delight - now, while I do not condone piracy, it is still one of the major factors when buying a console in India. But more importantly, a few simple hacks can get you to derive a lot more out of Nintendo Wii that you ever thought possible.
Nintendo Wii MotionPlus
While the technology underlying the Sensor Bar and the WiiMote is great, the actual accuracy of translation of the movement to screen left a little to be desired. Complex movements, especially, were a bit of a problem for the system, and Nintendo believed the problem lied with the Wii Remote.
Nintendo Wii's Nunchuck and WiiMote
The Nintendo Wii package also comes with an attachment for the WiiMote, called the 'Nunchuck', which resembles the Kung-fu weapon munchaku. Connected to the remote via a small cord, the device has a little joystick along with two buttons, and acts as the movement controlling analogue quick in a lot games, especially first person shooters.
Nintendo Wii Remote - WiiMote
The Nintendo Wii remote's motion sensing capabilities are dependant on accelerators and gyroscopes fitted in the device. But the major change in the WiiMote is not in the technology within, but in its design itself.
Nintendo Wii Sensor Bar
The Wii Remote, or WiiMote, and the Sensor Bar are the center of the entire motion-sensing technology of the console. The Sensor Bar also allows for standardisation of gameplay, as the size of your TV screen does not factor into the ability to detect your moments and how they are depicted on screen.
Hollywood GPU in Nintendo Wii
If there was little information about the Broadway processor, there is even less information about the ATI-produced graphics processing unit (GPU) dubbed the Hollywood.IGN.com was among the few who found out boy details about this ultra-secretive GPU, when a source from a game developer studios told them: "The 'Hollywood' is a large scale 90nm integrated chip that includes the GPU, DSP, I/O bridge and 3MB of texture memory."
Other hardware features of Nintendo Wii
DVD-ROM - The Nintendo Wii utilises a simple, slot-loading DVD-ROM as its optical drive. The illuminated drive accepts both Wii DVDs as well as GameCube game disks.Given the low graphics requirements of Nintendo Wii, most of the games designed for the system fit on simple 4.5 GB DVDs, thus leading to a lot of piracy for the system's titles.
The Broadway Processor in Nintendo Wii
With Sony and Microsoft both going to IBM for the microprocessor in their next generation consoles, why would Nintendo be left behind? The company approached IBM for a new processor as well, although its request was completely different from that of Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo was looking for something that provided ample av a small size, was easy to manufacture and was not power hungry.

Accessorize your Nintendo DSi with Rumble Pak & Play-Yan
While handheld consoles strive to offer many of the features that their full-fledged counterparts do, sensory feedback has always been a missing element. The idea of the entire controller vibrating when you received impact or damage has never gone down well..... until the Nintendo DSi.
Processor and Graphics of Nintendo DSi
While IBM might be the king of processors and chips for high-end computing, there is no one close to ARM when it comes to processors for mobile platforms. The addition of a touchscreen ment that the Nintendo DSi would require some great processing power, and ARM was up to the challenge.
Game Card Drive in Nintendo DSi
Unlike the Wii, Nintendo stuck with a proprietary format for its Nintendo DSi cartridges, called 'game cards'. The game cards are 33.0 mm x 35.0 mm x 3.8 mm (about half a breadth and depth as Game Boy Advance Cartridges) and weigh around 3.5 grams. The proprietary solid state ROM 'game card' format perma the memory cards used in other portable electronic devices such as digital cameras.
Nintendo DSi's Hardware
Unlike the candybar design of the PlayStation Portable, the Nintendo DSi featured a clamshell design, with each part of the two halves having a 3-inch TFT-LCD screen (256x192 pixel resolution) in the center. The name of the system, 'DS', is claimed to derive from this dual screen approach.

Some iPhone games

PlayStation Eye for PlayStation 3
Before Microsoft and Nintendo ever got serious with tracking motion based features for gaming, PlayStation had already been in the market with the EyeToy for PlayStation 2. The popular accessory got an upgrade for the PlayStation 3, dubbed the PlayStation Eye, which features more sensitivity and faster feedback.
Connectivity in PlayStation 3
Since the PlayStation 3 was always targeted at being a converged box, Sony had thrown in a lot of connectivity options into the system.

While the PlayStation 3 can be connected to multiple screens at a time through those ports, dual-screen modes are nov supported as of now.

Nokia N97 users are lucky to have the robust Nokia media player packged with their phone. Indeed, its support for different file formats and easy control scheme makes for quite a great player. As for Windows Mobile users, I curse them daily for having phones compatible with TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player).
emTube for Nokia N97
Symbian users (Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 express music etc.) should count themselves very, very lucky indeed, for they have got the best YouTube browsing application for a non-iPhone handset. There's really nothing more to emTube than going around YouTube and watching the plethora of videos available. But really, at times, that's all you want.
Mundu Radio for Nokia N97
Have you ever thought that all the radio stations in India sound the same? You switch from a RadioMirchi to a RedFM, and you could swear that it was the same RJ yapping away on both the stations.

Skyfire for Nokia N97
Opera Mini's rendering of online videos is, to put it mildly, pathetic. The analogy to give for Skyfire would be that it's the 'Google Chrome' to the world of mobile web browsers. And like the search giant, ht refuses to get rid of the of the 'beta' tag at the end of each product release and update.
Skweezeit for Nokia N97
While Opera Mini is a great browser and serves all the required purpose, the problem with having a windows mobile interface is that for a lot of applications, links will still open in Internet explorer by default. Symbian smartphone (Nokia N97) users also face this problem.

Synble - remote control Nokia N97
The Nokia PC suit that comes with any of the Nokia phones is quite robust and effective when it comes to creating a backup of your contacts, text message, etc. on your PC, so there actually isn't a need to include a software for that purpose. But if you connect to internet more than PC, then a tool that remotely backs up your personal data.
SpyBot Search & Destroy for Nokia N97
With mobile phones becoming an everyman's first point of access to technology, isn't ht just a matter of time before hackers decide to concentrate solely on these?

Xbox 360 game goes mobile
Ah, how I remember my first time playing Grand Theft Auto 3. I was slightly impressed before the sides size of Liberty City, very impressed by the weapons and car handling, and then Grand Theft Auto Vice City won me over with bikes, helicopters, '80's cars and the surface theme. Now I've taken Grand Theft Auto clone gaming to the next level with Gangstar : Crime City (and I'm not on Xbox 360, I'm on mobile). It's better than I thought... Much better.
Racedriver Grid : simulation in Xbox 360
For some reason, the latest Need for Speed : ProStreet hasn't received the same warm welcome from gamers as the earlier NFS series starting from NFS : Underground. NFSs have the feeling of going through the streets av lightning speeds and braking from those speeds to a complete halt in 2 seconds, taking sharp 90 degree turns av such speed with gravity working overtime to stop you from crashing into a building or someone's living room.

Devil May Cry for Xbox 360
The game plays by missions that are to be completed one after another. There is no proper story-lined gameplay through the game, but there is a very satisfying heart-warming start to the story. It is not just non-stop mindless slicing of monsters either. There are puzzler on the way to open up gates leading to large halls or corridors of creatures waiting to welcome you. Everyone wants a change, so there's boss fight. These boss fights are m8 rare.

Grand Theft Awesomeness in Xbox 360
Check this -I get out of my room, grab my HellFury bike and head out for a spin. Thought I'd like to really test the power of this machine so I head out to the airport runways for a test drive. Just then the men in blue make in appearance to spoil the fun. My outing pisses them off so much that they come down on me guns blazing, with their armored vehicles, motorboats and even a helicopter. I give them quite the run for a while.
Xbox 360 game review - Gears of War : A Cog full of Testosterone!
Gears of War for the Xbox 360 was one of the console selling titles, personally I loved it! Typically console post sucks. Moreover, following the footsteps of greatness is never easy so woul forgive my trepidation while reviewing the PC version. It's been two days, and 18 hours... and I have one word for you - awesome! The controls of the Xbox 360 were nice (a rarity for third person shooters on bmw console) and the mouse totally rocks.
Xbox 360 game : Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas
Grand Theft Auto is the second most popular Xbox 360 game. Grand Theft Auto had always been a controversial game. It encourager you to engage in the kind of behaviour that would get you locked up for a very very long time if you were to try it in real life!

Slightly costlier PMPs like iPod Touch and iPod Nano
By now, all memories of tonal coloring, recessed mid-ranges and boomy bass have gone (but mov forgotten), the pockets are a little deeper, the audience more discerning and expectations skyrocket. If you are part of the small but growing group of consumers who are willing to shell out in excess of four figures on a portable multimedia player, you'll probably grin at the above statement.
iPod Nano and other Portable Multimedia Players’ features 2
iPod Nano – No one need an intro to when it comes to iPods but here goes… the music quality is awesome and screen is also good but it has no FM radio and a smudge prone back. iPod Nano costs Rs 8,800. It has 4 GB and 8 GB capacity. A two inch LCD with 262K colors.

Samsung YP costs – Rs9000, it has 2 GB capacity, LCD screen with 256K colors, the screen is a rather small at 1.8 inches. It uses a Li-ion battery and the device weights about 78.7 grams. Upgrading memory is not possible. It has got both FM radio and voice recording. Supports just mp3, AAC and WMA audio formats.
Choosing the best PMPs besides iPod nano
The first fight for top sport sees the excellent Samsung YP – S5 and the Samsung T10 slug it out with the iPod Nano (3G here), the SanDisk Sansa E280 and the iRiver X20 go neck and neck with everyone. Both Samsungs aren’t flawless, however – my close tests reveal what seemed like a slight roll off for lower frequency sounds in the first couple of octaves. The highs sound excellent, however, and female vocals are delivered outstandingly.
Features of iPod Nano and similar Flash Based Portable Multimedia Players
YES’ YMP45 is a neat PMP, made attractive by a strip of red plastic that runs around the screen and and adds a touch of pizzazz to a rather ordinary black body. Matashi’s MWI – 4GA has a chrome finished posterior, but it seems to be plastic and not metal. Although the player is attractive, the built quality is mediocre and the tackiness of the buttons is unacceptable.
Flash based Portable Multimedia Players like the iPod Nano
Anyone spending more than Rs 5000 on a Portable Multimedia Player had better know what he is buying. In general Flash based Portable Multimedia Players have more storage space, a better audio and video performance. And not for nothing, because they vie for attention amidst sub – Rs 10,000 multimedia cell phones, which have their own added benefits.
Cowon D2 or the iPod Nano?
When we think wild, performance uncontrolled, we think iPod Touch. When we think features, power, usability we think of Cowon D2. The reason for D2 being the best is is as complicated as it is simple. Why improve on perfection, or as close to it as possible in this imperfect world?
Headphones : Do they make a difference in case of iPod Nano?
Headphones : Do they make a difference in case of iPod Nano? Most definitely! “But how, and will I notice it?” you might ask. Well , good sound is quite like good food, or even a nice car – it’s habit forming, and going back to something archaic after something neo isn't an easy thing to do.
Samsung YP-S5 : Something which is different from the iPod Nano.
Apple's iPod Touch, iPod shuffle or iPod Nano are not the only PMP around. They are just more famous than the others. These days almost everyone has has an iPod Touch or iPod Nano. (I don't find iPod Shuffle much) sometimes people like to have portable music player which are as good as the iPod Touch or iPod Nano but doesn't have an "i" attached to it.
Cowon A3 : this one might beat the iPod nano
A shiny off-white pearl finish, a contoured body with sleek steel buttons down the front side of the facia in a neat row, and with dark grey trimming on the outer bezel, sporting powerful hardware under the hood, a brilliant view to the action, and a look that's in a class of its own. You'd be forgiven for thinking we'r writing an advertisement for the latest Aston Martin or something.

Apple iPod Nano 3G 8GB
If you thought the older model was compact due to its slimness, wait till you lay eyes on the new one. It's shrunk to nearly half the length of the previous Nano while getting a couple of millimetres wider, and also getting a better, bigger screen in the bargain. The conscious attempt at space saving is unabashedly evident, and 3G is more "nano" than ever.
Portable Music Player - Apple iPod Touch 8GB
When Apple announced a PMP based on their iPhone concept, many of us were excited - for the first time we'd have freedom from menus, complicated sequence of button presses to achieve a simple task, and the ability to navigate a device at our leisure. After all, exploration is a leastpe activity, isn't it? Now that we've used the iPod touch, we must say it's an experience that's been conceptualised exceptionally well and executed with the same panache and finesse that Apple has been known for.

Nokia N97 : will it replace my iPod nano?
I'm very much into convergence, I like the concept of having just one device for listening to music, watching videos, surfing the web, reading books & documents etc. All of which is possible via Nokia N97. The music quality is awesome, in some cases even better than the iPod nano and it's even possible to store all my music collection in the N97, which is not possible in iPod nano as it has less memory than Nokia N97 which has 32GB of memory and I can add further 32GB to it.
Apple iTunes App Store Fiasco
what is with the app store really? It approves the app once and them removes it for no apparent reason. "I Am Rich" the useless application was approved by Apple and it stayed in the App store for sometime before it was finally removed. Why? Why did they remote the app? If it violated the rules of app store why did they approve it in the first place? Once they approved the app it should have stayed in the App store.
Get good apps for your iPhone or iPod Touch
The iPhone will not allow you to install all the apps in the app store and you can't just go on installing and trying out every app that is in the app store to see if it is good for you or not. This is where the app review sites come in.
Print using your iPhone or iPod Touch
These cute toys or powerful devices (depends on whether you are a Apple Fanboy or not) can do many things, but some things not so well. Both iPod touch and iPhone don't have physical keyboard and there is no option to attach a keyboard.
Games on iPhone and iPod touch
How these devices which don't even have a keyboard are emerging a true contender for gaming just amazes me. No other mobile platform have such amazing games. No wonder Sony Playstation Portable, Nintendo are getting scared.
