Gaming was created to be accessible and fun to people of all ages and abilities, and was inviting as well as being sophisticated. The Nintendo Wii has a compact design that makes a natural addition to any entertainment setup. One of Wii’s drawing factors is the remote control and its motion-sensing technology to entice people of all ages. The remote could be your steering wheel, a tennis racket, or a weapon depending upon your game of choice.
The Nintendo Wii is more than about gaming it features a compact design that makes it a natural addition to any television setup. The Wii is backward-compatable to all Nintendo GameCube games and includes four ports for controllers and two slots for memory cards. A self-loading bay plays single or double-layered 12 cm optical discs for the Wii console, as well as 8 cm Nintendo GameCube discs. Relatively small about the size of 3 DVD cases stacked up on top of each other, and it can be laid out flat or in style by the use of the console stand. The Wii console communicates wirelessly with the Internet via wireless or a Wii LAN adaptor, and can communicate via wireless technology with the Nintendo DS.
The Nunchuk builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote and goes an extra step to meet the needs of gamers. The Nunchuk connects to the Wii Remote via the expansion port and is used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. In many of the games the players will use the analog stick of the Nunchuk to move characters, and perform specific actions. Both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk are somewhat dependent on each other, and therefore allowing players to hold them in either hand. This grants accessibility seldom seen in other game controllers.

As the release date for Wireless USB draws ever closer, discussion is heating up around the emerging standard. In particular, there has been a lot of debate concerning the pros and cons of Bluetooth versus Wireless USB. Both of these standards offer particular benefits as well as particular challenges, and it appears that both standards will be competing with each other for the same manufacturer and consumer base. Let’s examine how the lines are being drawn.
Bluetooth came onto the wireless scene in May of 1999. Initially developed by Ericsson, it was quickly adopted by such companies as Microsoft, Apple, Motorola, and Toshiba. It has since become a major standard for wireless device connectivity. Using wide-band, low-power radio waves to transmit data over short distances, Bluetooth has been used for wireless keyboards, mice, and other peripherals, cellular phones, PDAs, MP3 players, and some digital cameras. Concerning Bluetooth’s popularity with cell phone manufacturers in particular, one of the benefits of Bluetooth is that it has a very low power consumption rate, especially when it comes to audio transmission. This has made Bluetooth the technology of choice for cell phone manufacturers looking to pair wireless headsets to their phones.

Stuttgart, Germany-based Porsche Design Group and French-based Sagem Mobiles (Safran Group) have joined forces to create the first Porsche Design mobile phone, the P’9521.
Like its much-coveted automotive namesake, the new mobile phone combines sophisticated, purist design with high-quality natural materials such as aluminum and glass.
The phone’s casing is milled out of a solid aluminum block, a manufacturing technique used for engines and alloy wheels of high-end sports cars but is a unique production method for mobile phones.
With this device, Porsche Design has remained loyal to its clear design language and has utilized sophisticated materials, again in keeping with its storied tradition.
The typography, styling and colors of the phone’s menu underscore the handset’s very functional character. A double hinge made from lightweight aluminum enables the screen to be rotated 180 degrees, allowing the phone to be used as a digital camera.
The P’9521, whose local price was still unavailable as we went to press, features a fingerprint reader, which easily and conveniently identifies the user while ensuring high-security access to sensitive data.
