...the market. Nintendo is one of the popular games manufacturers and the DS stands for Dual Screen which I will tell you a little more about later. ----- Specifications: Tall - 2.89cm, Wide - 14.8cm, long - 8.5cm. Both screens - 3 inches. 260,000 colour screens. Wireless communication enabled for up to 100 feet. DS and Gameboy advance slots. Port for headphone and microphone. Clock and alarm. Speakers. Battery life - 6 - 10 hours. Takes around four hours to charge. CPU - ARM9 and ARM7. ----- What does it look like? Well it actually just looks like a small silver flattened box.

When the console is opened you can see both screens, one on the top and one on the bottom hence the name of the console - DS. On the left...

Review of Nintendo DS

Now we have DUAL - Digital and HD Ready!

Advantages: Updated Television
Disadvantages: none that I have found

...Last week our beloved old Sony television finally decided that retirement was no longer an option and gave up working for a living! To be honest, it was not unexpected; it had been fading for some time and taking longer each day to wake up, but after about twenty years faithful service, it really was like one of the family. We had been looking at new sets so now was the time to set the wheels in motion and do something about it. One slight problem we had was the size we needed. It's very easy these days to get large tv's - not the same choice with smaller ones. The one we decided on was the Dual DLCD 1905. This was not previously a brand with which I was familiar, but apparently they have been around for some eighty years, so they must have some idea of what they are doing! The fact that this was 'on offer...

HTC touch dual?

Advantages: large library of programs for download
Disadvantages: No Wifi, Camera poor, touch screen for stylus not fingers.

...The HTC Touch dual is a slick PDA/mobile phone, made of mostly a black rubbery plastic lined around the outside with a silver plastic. The case contains 3 hardware buttons, a touch pad and touch sensitive screen. The case can slide out to reveal a 16 button keypad. On the back is a 2 mega pixels camera without flash. The HTC touch dual runs on Windows mobile 6.0 which comes with many useful programs, such as Word mobile, Excel Mobile etc. There are also many programs that can be downloaded from the internet for free or for a small fee. However, like my experience with most Microsoft software there are times when the phone will crash or slow to a halt. The touch screen is good and mostly responds well when using the stylus. However, when using your finger the story is a different matter. Most of the buttons on windows mobile 6.0 are too...

Review of HTC Touch Dual

HTC Touch Dual

Advantages: Versatile, fast, small, very customisable
Disadvantages: Average 2MP camera, no WIFI, no built in GPS, poor speaker

...The Touch Dual is a flexible Windows Mobile 6 based phone that combines the features of a larger PDA into a very small mobile phone form factor yet the screen managed to feel large enough for showing friends your pictures or for surfing the web at broadband speed using HSDPA. The 2MP camera, lack of GPS built in and lack of WIFI are the main weaknessess, oh and the speaker is pretty poor quality making playing music and taking calls on handsfree a less than exciting experience. I changed from a Nokia N95 as I found the N95 sluggish. The Touch is lightening fast at opening applications and for those familiar with Windows and wanting to synchronise their calendars and contacts with Outlook can do so very very easily, a MicroSD slot means your never going to run out space for storing contacts, texts, emails etc. The exterior has a nice...

Review of HTC Touch Dual

A slick print screen facility

Advantages: Options, it works well, it's free
Disadvantages: Can be slow to email as an attachment

...If you look at your computer keyboard on the top row of keys on the right hand side you?ll see the ?Prt Sc? key, the one that captures a print of the screen that you are currently looking at. It?s a very handy facility to have but notorious for not working properly & being a little restrictive. Gadwin Systems offer free software that eliminates the problems of the ?Print Screen? facility & turns into a very slick operation. You can capture a screen print & save it for printing, you can choose a number of ?hot keys? that you prefer to use for the simple function. You can capture a full screen or a certain section; in fact there are about six different image formats to suit each individual user. I find it very handy when your browsing through websites looking for something & come across similar offers, printing a copy of the various...

Duel to the death with this dual

Advantages: Great picture, very simple to use
Disadvantages: Massive and heavey

...Dual colour TV or not TV? When I first got home with my new flat screened monster, I attemped with a friend to get it through the door and into our front room. We bought it at special offer from comet with a new TV stand. After quickly erecting the stand we hoisted up the TV on top. Then we pluuged it in and let it work its magic. It took an average amout of time to search for the terestrial TV chanels. As soon as we had adjusted the settings to how we wanted we both admired the picture quality. I suppose you would expect it from a bus type TV like this but the picture was and still is superb and a nice crisp crackle free sound. But the real question is "Is this a TV or a just a Big box?" TV Facts RCA: Yes 1 on right side AV: 2 (back) Headphone slot: yes (side) Arial slot: yes (back) Screen size: 28...

Star Trek goes dual screened

Advantages: decent variety of ships, good gameplay and graphics
Disadvantages: slow paced, doesn't utilise DS functionality

...functionality. unfortunately there is no online play, nor is there a download play option so both players will need to own the game. The ships that are included are numerous, there differences not. there are five races, the Federation, Klingon, Romulan and the lesser known 'Gorn' and 'Orion'. Each have a selection of 5 ships which despite them looking different, are all practically the same. They're all split into the same classes. Each race has ; a frigate; a destroyer; a light cruiser; a heavy cruiser; and a dreadnought. Forunately they all have different weapons and the klingons and Romulans cloak. However, they are all of the same level and weapons are pretty much equally balanced. the differences are there but the ships pretty much play the same over each of the races. Now for the game interface. The top screen is where...

Dual Protection With No7

Advantages: Really Works
Disadvantages: May Be Expensive For Some Budgets

...Introduction Like most women I try hard to look my best however when it comes to buying foundations and things I always seem to end up looking like an oompaloompa. Even the most natural looking colours don't look right on me so I stick to the same products that I know work for me and tend not to deviate much. I was shopping in Boots recently and I was given a few sample products with my purchases which was nice as I could try the testers without spending any of my own hard earned cash. One of the products I received was a 10ml sample of No7 Dual Protection Tinted Moisturiser. The Product I tried this product almost immediately when I got it home as I had never really used tinted moisturisers before apart from my expensive Clarins. Another factor which swayed me was the fact that the moisturiser was hypo-allergenic. I suffer...

Superb turn based strategy game - Dual Strike for DS

Advantages: Great strategy game, very innovative
Disadvantages: Can be very difficult

...This review is for the game, Advance Wars - Dual Strike, a game for the Nintendo DS developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. The game is a turn based military strategy game where you have to win various battles to progress through the game. The mechanics of the game are that you have to control naval, military and air units around a map, with a variety of different weapons. The game is played turn by turn, and the aim is to destroy the enemy?s home base or destroy all of the enemy?s units. You can play the game in campaign mode, which is a substantial challenge, where you have to play through the game winning battle by battle. As you go through the various missions however the game does become more challenging, and does require a lot of strategic thought. The other modes in the game, other than the campaign...

Review of Advance Wars: Dual Strike (Nintendo DS)

Touch Screen Fun

Advantages: Original, nice looking, sturdy
Disadvantages: Limited range of games

...screen. It really is excellent, and makes the DS worth the money. It is accurate, generally easy to control and the screen doesn't scratch permanently (you do get temporary scratches, but these rub off easily). There is a handy holder for the stylus on the side so it'll be quite difficult to lose it. There is also a D-Pad and four buttons for non-touch screen games, which are clear and easy to use. Another control is the microphone - I have only used this for 'blowing' games, not 'talking' games, however my experience of it is negative. It doesn't work, and you'll give yourself a nasty headache trying to blow into it anyway. -Extras- The range of extras are things like an alarm, a Wi-Fi chatroom and a customisable profile. You can also change the colour of the start-up screen to suit your tastes. These extras are neat, but nothing to...
