DS Lite

the DS lite is/has come out in Japan in three different colors: crystal white(apple ipod color), a dark/navy blue, and a lighter blue/gray. the DS lite is 1/3 smaller than the larger version, and a few ounces lighter. the buttons are adjusted slightly to allow for more ease of use, and the mic has been moved to the center on the hindge so the person can use it easier. finally one of the best new features, is a brighter screen. this screen has been changed like the micro was, to where you can change the brightness.

i'm really looking forward to this new, tweeked hardware. i'm probobly going to get the dark blue one so the images will appear brighter. i've learned that if you have a darker border around your picture, the image stands out more.

i think that the DS lite will be released in May to the US.

BlueRay comes out may 24 with 8 movies coming out on that date. On of those is The Fifth Element. Not sure of any prices, but will find out

Tech Stuffs

i'm getting very excited about the revolution. i keep hearing from my many podcasts that it's coming out in the fall of 06. i would like to see the cabela games, like deer hunter and such, on the revolution b/c the controller acts like a light gun.

looking forward to the new wifi standard "N". to compare it with "G", G can connect at about 108ish Kb/s and has a limited range. with the new N standard, it can do 600ish Kb/s and is more powerful so this will allow you to reach places and distances you couldn't before. hopefully, this will make wifi more of a common place. i'm also not against it being a municipal service.

anxious to see what the new ipod product is. there is talk about having a standard size ipod that is all screen, and making that screen touch sensitive. this way you can have a larger screen to watch your video content and control it in a unique way.

more random info to come later
