Trip to Best Buy

At best Buy I had a chance to try out a few new things most notably and relevent Wii Motion plus. The Wii motion plus worked and i could tell immediately. I could actually tell the controller was actually capture my movements in 3D space rather than detecting motions. The booth was set up ready to go with Wii Sports Resort. The first thing i tried was wakeboarding (having actually tried it this past week)I had a frame of reference to what it felt like and knew what it should act like. I was impressed by the intuitiveness of the new add on in the way that the presets motions were so good in this particular game it could be easily mistaken for true 1:1 motion. The game felt extremely natural and didn't feel as if i had to jerk the controller to get it to register the difference was day and night in this particular instance. the motion was smooth and easy. Next I tried basketball. This game was very well done. the motion capture actually registered like actually taking a shot in real life. Finally my favorite game Ping pong (or table tennis whatever) felt the most natural unlike other supposed ping pong simulators on Wii that i have played it felt like i was whipping the controller rather than actually doing what you would do in real life. This was the first time i actually enjoyed playing Wii.
I also had oppurtunity to test different headphones. I tried the extremely acclaimed as much as it is overpriced, Beats by D.R.E. The sound quality wasvery nice and i di enjoy it however i could never see paying more than $50 for headphones (I'm a Cheapskate) Let alone 300. First of all they cost more than the MP3 player itself and for that much they better do alot more than just play music. I Want more than a flashy package underneath that packaging i want bluetooth a remote control (more portability.) thats about all worth talking about.

HTC NVIDIA Tegra phone a possibility



I am excited for this because there is almost just enough evidence to confirm this. If this turns out as good as it sounds on paper I will be in line. However at the same time i cant forget about HTC's habit of refusing to include drivers and effectively crippling there phones. If this is an answer to Samsung's Omnia, then it Definately is a good one. Possibly 600 mhz processor and a WVGA screen touch screen. not too shabby at all if you ask me. But there is potential for them to screw this up like they did with the Qualcomm chipset where performance was crippled to cut costs. The fact that HTC had the opportunity to get a jump on the competition at the time(HTC kaiser was released the same year as the iphone with hardware well capable of being superior to iPhone) however the phone's showstopping video performance issue ruined a huge opportunity. I would Hope HTC plans on making this phone with 3d performance even if it hikes up the price an extra 20 dollars That was proven buy people paying $600 dollars for the iPhone. So we will have to see which company wants my money the most upcoming Q3 and 4 2009. I would love to own a tegra chipset in HTC flavor because of how happy I was with my HTC Juno (T-Mobile Shadow)do to the impressive build quality and all of the HTC proprietary features. However after seeing the impressive work Samsung put into The Omnia and new Omnia II, where the phone was pushed to it's full potential (too bad i can't exactly say that about all HTC products) Their phone might be the better performing of the two. It also helps that the Samsung phones i have seen in the past were impressive in performance. Finally Their is Motorola. I hope Moto brings their mojo with the Tegra chipset the same way they steadily deliver high performance high quality products. I f you don't believe me think of how many people you know that had razors and how much you wanted one. Now think about How now even a few years later razor isn't that bad a phone. So for now all i can do is speculate and believe me when these phones come out I'm gonna be all over them and unveil my true personality on my blog with my harsh and extremely critical reviews for the 3 people who will even read it to see.

NVIDIA Tegra chipset



This new powerful chipset is the inexpensive solution to 3D graphics issues in mobile devices. In the united states we can see the Tegra chipset utilized in the Microsoft Zune HD. I'm undecided on if i will buy the Zune HD but it is tempting i do want a product with this. The Zune HD will come in 32 gig and 16 gig at almost value price points of (Unconfirmed information)$220, and $280 U.S. Already sounds better to me than ipod touch. I just wish MS would just go ahead and add an antenna and make it a cell phone i would buy in a heart beat.
