Another view of the iPod Wi-Phone
This looks like it's been pulled right from Apples web site or maybe a presentation. This photo is a little different than the one i previously posted.

So I whipped up this one as soon as I could. It even has a bonus monkey shooting game for Alex ;) Don't forget to hit up Johnny Johnny for a SHOTS boost! It opens a popup of the diggnation site when you win, but as Kevin says, if you have a decent popup blocker, nothing happens." You can also get the source code from this article. Diggnation rocks.

DiscT@2 Technology
Yamaha has developed their own version of light scribe. Instead of burning images on top of the disk, Yamaha allows you to burn images onto the bottom of the disk in areas that have not been used for data storage. This is pretty cool cause now you can have a graphic on the top of your disc and put a company logo, playlist, or something to that effect on the bottom. Good idea Yamaha, i used to Wright shit in permanent marker on the bottoms before but this is much better.

More Wii-mote Facts
A couple new things about the Wii-mote to answer some questions...It will be powered by 2 AA batteries with a life of 30 to 60 hours depending on use. It communicates with the counsel via Bluetooth. It will contain 6KB of memory, reasons unknown. That sync button you might have seen on the Wii is to sync up the controllers. LEDs will serve as a battery meter at start up. It will have rumble that you can turn on or off. i didn't know how to explain this one so..."According to documentation the Wii-mote is able to act as something of an eye, measuring coordinates between 0-1023 on the X axis and 0-767 on the Y axis, which means that it is more or less seeing a megapixel image. Whether or not this data can be interrupted into visual information remains unknown, but we're not ruling out the possibility that the pointer could sub as a camera."

No More UMD Movies
So there cutting the shortly popular UMD movies for the PSP because sales suck and studios don't want to produce them any more. Sony has a new idea for strait to Memory Stick movies. One would buy a disk with four movies on it then would only be allowed to pick one movie of the four and the rest would be locked unable to load. These movies will be pre set to 320x240 resolution, MPEG -4 format, and be easier to port to the PSP. A fairly good idea, and if it works for the iPod too it would be an even better idea. They need to start putting MPEG-4 formats at this resolution on every DVD and sales would be even better in my opinion.
