Good news

For all those people out there that have a Nintendo DS there is a really bright light at the end of the tunnel. You all know how you've felt ripped off when you learned that all you can use the built in WI-fi for is playing games. Well That's what I'm here to tell you there is a Nintendo DS web browser. The minute I saw this I was hysterical and it thought finally something that made me say what a good decision by Nintendo. I cant wait, you can currently pre-order one on amazon.com for 29.99$. I think its so worth it.
Okay, so far all I know is that it comes with a DS cartridge and a GBA memory extension cartridge. This is to make Internet pages load faster. The there are many views and options which you can go to Opera.com. Go to the bottom of the page and there it will talk about the browser for the DS. I don't know if its for the older version of the DS, maybe just the newer version, the DS lite. But yes that is my story and If you want to know more just Google it. Well that's all I can say on this issue. Have fun with your new knowledge.

Well the peoples blogs that have read are my friends, Alonzo's, Sebastian's, Wills and Julian's. These names might not mean anything to you but those who know them then they mean something. Well first I thought that Alonzo's was very computerized not to be mean or anythings, but I'm just saying what I think it was here read for yourself: Alonzo's Blog
Then Sebastion's blog, I thought It was okay He talks mainly about soccer and some random things but overall his was okay.

A new start

Well I have been instructed to make a podcast by my teacher which sound fun. Because of the fact that we can do it about anything we want so I'm doint mine about realy neat tech stuff like to new types of Tv's well here read for yourself ,
Future tech:
Topic: Intro
“Welcome to Future tech. This is a podcast where I’m going to talk about where I think technology is going. And I’m not just going to make up stuff. I’m going to talk about the newest innovations. Like the new type of TV’s coming out by Sony the OLED. What that means I have no idea. But I will find out.
Topic: TV
First topic of today is TV’s. One in particular, a couple months ago Sony released its plans for the OLED TVs. The facts about this type Of TV are:
OLED: stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode
The contrast is 1,000,000:1. This is CRAZY! The new TV proposed by Pioneer is only 20,000:1. So that shows you how clear this TV would be.
The thickness of the screen part is only, 3 millimeters think. Which is about the thickness of a pencil, but it has a base type thing, which is the bulk of the monitor and I think I does not look that nice I think it kind of looks like a screen that pooping out at you. But that’s what I think.
It also supports full 1080p and all other types of numbers like 720p and i 480p and i stuff like that Oh and 1080i too,
But here is a down side though Sony isn’t selling its large sized monitors this year, it is however pushing for the smaller size screens to be in MP3 players. Theirs one in particular that I would like to see these screens in, the Ipod. I think personally this is the perfect chance for Apple to get back in the race with a wide screen video player, But we can only hope,
Topic: Hand held PC
Okay we’re going to make a U-turn here and start talking about hand held computers. Well hand held computer have been struggling to take off, the reason for this not enough power. And when I say power I mean speed, speed in processor speed and how much ram you can cram into these things. Well this I think is no longer the question “can we give this thing enough processing speed so it could do basic things.” No longer a problem because of how advanced technology is getting. The speed of this thing is just as fast as my desktop that I bought six month ago. And even faster in some cases.
A good example is the new Samsung Q1 Ultra. This is a powerful hand held computer.
It has:
A seven-inch touch screen, LCD backlit
1GB of ram, which is great,
60GB hard-drive not bad,
And 800mhz, which is okay for a hand held.
It runs Windows Vista (which I haven’t tried it out yet but I heard that it’s not that great,
But that only bad part is the screen resolution, which is 1024x600, not that great, but its okay, keep in mind this is all in a mobile computer.
This model is to be on the shelves by May 7 2007. For a starting price of 799$
It looks okay, it looks almost like a stretched PSP and instead of the game controls it has cell-phone sized keyboard split in half, half on one side of the screen half on the other. And like two zune circular buttons, with the OK in the middle and a big circular button around it. It has a bunch more little buttons and such, which I’m not going to go over all of them.
There are also other mobile devices, these are all great and such but the only time I could ever find use for these things are on long train rides or long trips. Which I don’t go on much. So for me this is not such a good item but for business people who travel a lot this is perfect. Oh and just some out of the blue news Intel was trying to get into the UMPC market last year what happened I don’t think anybody knows. I think now that technology has advanced enough to where you can have your computer in you lap that soon it will be just as popular to have it in your hands. Well that all the time I have today and I haven’t found anything else to talk about, So this is Joe on Future Tech saying see you later.

The end Is near. #7

For all you Harry Potter fans out there just dieing to read those last pages of the last book are going to have to wait until July 21st 2007. IT has finaly arrived. IT being Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows #7. This will be the last installment in the Harry Potter series. Soon the world will know what happens to Harry and his friends. If you really want to get this book then you should first try Borders once it comes out becuase it seems that Borders is the sponser of the Leaky Cauldron web site. Which in turn leads to Borders getting more copies so the Leaky Caulron can keep their sponser. But thats my opinion.
