iPod Nano 4G

The good old iPod Nano has made a come back with its new iPod Nano 4G. It comes with all the features loaded in just like its previous versions but added features like Accelerometer and shake feature where you can change the playlist just by shaking the player. On the looks front it scores a 10/10 with its super cool sleek look and with silver body. Its weight is less than 40 grams and 1/4 inch thick. You would hardly get the feeling that you are holding it, its so thin and light weight. And yes, indeed it is the slimmest of all the iPods. It comes with the 2 inch screen and is the best among the whole lot of iPods ever. But this new iPod is mostly dependent on the iTunes 8 and this is one of the downside of this player.

You can load its 8 GB of memory in no time and can transfer around 1 GB in less than 2 minutes. Even its navigation is super cool and with the addition of accelerometer it is even faster than the previous Nanos. One major flak in this super cool media player is its earphone which is not as good as the player itself.

N-Gage range

Some years back Nokia introduced their N-Gage range of mobile phones which is mostly targeted for the die hard gaming fans. It is a full featured gaming mobile phone. It came with a slightly different shape than that of the conventional mobile phones. But due to the lesser usage and buying trend, Nokia had to discontinue it soon. But some time later they converted this service of N-Gage into a full fledged gaming portal or service where all the other supported Nokia handset users can access and download any types of games available there. They have even opened showrooms dedicated for N-Gage across the world.

They even conducted various gaming events for the gaming enthusiasts and live gaming shows and events. They have even started the idea of trying a game before actually buying it. These N-Gage games from Nokia are cheaply priced and can be an ideal one to give it a try. Actually not all Nokia mobile handsets support N-gage. Only the latest N series mobiles, S series, Nokia 5320 Xpressmusic as well as the Nokia 6210 Navigator supports them. If you are a gaming fan and hold any of the above Nokia handsets, there is no doubt that you should give N-Gage a try for sure.

Nintendo Wii

In the world of Playstations and Xboxs, Nintendo Wii came in late as a gaming console. But with the brand name Nintendo they surely had an added advantage and they did not really disappoint us with their impact on serving us with one of the best gaming console ever. It is one of the favorite of mine. And it does not cost you a premium to own a gaming console of your own. It is said to be the seventh generation gaming console. Till now it has sold around 50 million consoles around the world.

It comes with an internal 512 MB flash memory, SD card, Nintendo GameCube Memory Card. Its graphics card is ATI Hollywood. It supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. And has a LAN adapter and 2 USB connectors. Despite launching late, they had fast caught up with the other two giants in gaming consoles namely Xbox and Playstation, who were fighting for the top spot themselves but they soon realized they have a new competitor and a tougher one to tackle with, that is Wii. There were some who opposed to the name of Wii (pronounced we) because it looked slightly kiddish. But Nintendo stuck with its name despite this opposition and have indeed succeeded with it.

It was aptly categorized under multimedia smartphone rather than just mobile phone because of the features it boasts. Later Apple introduce the iPhone 3G.
