Now that the new Nintendo DSi LL has been made official it’s time to see a real comparison of what it is like compared to it’s smaller brother, the DSi. The image above shows the systems sat next to each other. The image below (after the video) shows what the DSi LL looks like compared to a Nintendo Wii game box… ie, it’s quite large.
We also heard yesterday that Nintendo are launching the new LL in the US early next year which is good news for those wanting a slightly larger hand-held gaming system for whatever reason. [click to continue…]

A few days ago a rumour started going around about a new larger Nintendo DSi that was being created. Nintendo denied it, but now we heard that it actually is getting launched as the Nintendo DSi LL and will be priced at around $221 (conversion from Yen).
The Nintendo DSi LL will ship on November 21 in Japan and will have a 4.2 inch screen. The extra sized screen does make the whole unit a little larger and thicker too at 21.2mm compared to the 18.9mm of the previous model.
When shipping it will come in a choice of 3 colours which includes dark brown, burgandy and natural white. Battery life sees the unit powered for about 4 to 5 hours with maximum brightness set and can go from 13 – 17 hours on a single charge when set on it’s lowest setting. [click to continue…]

It seems like Nintendo may be launching a new Nintendo DSi that will have a larger 4 inch screen. The launch, according to Nikkei, will only be for Japan and the price for the new version will be the same as the price for the previous version.
The new larger screen is rumoured to be the same resolution of the smaller screen and simply just gives the option of 2 screen sizes when purchasing the DSi. [click to continue…]

Back in the 80’s the Game & Watch style games were the best handhelds we had until the likes of the Nintendo Gameboy came along. Now the Game & Watch series are back but this time in a smaller keychain size. The games are fully licensed and currently 3 of the best titles are avialable which includes Donkey Kong Jr, Mario’s Cement Factory and Super Mario Bros.
Each game also has a retractable stand on the back allowing it to stand next to your bed ready to wake you in the morning. [click to continue…]

This tiny Micro SDHC memory card can cram 12GB of data on to it. That is actually quite incredible. For those who thought they were cool sporting the slightly older 8Gb versions you now need to sell them on eBay and get one of these.
Unfortunately there is no info on pricing yet, but in good old computer ways the 8Gb are surely going to drop in price to make way for the 12Gb big brother.

The good old pedal bike is one of the greenest ways of travelling around. However, some like their cars due to the cool gadgets, sat nav, radio’s and sometimes TV’s. If you cannot give all the luxuries up then you might be able to now with the Cerevellum. The Cerevellum is an information device which attaches to the handlebars of your bike. It can be described as a mini computer which can have 4 modules attached via USB. These modules vary and each is interchangeable as the need changes. For example the Hindsight is a small camera that you mount on the back of your bike. The image is then displayed on-screen allowing you to quickly see what is behind. Another module is the power meter which can track speed, time, distance and keep track of other various statistics of your journey. For those who want a nice workout you could then choose the heart-rate module. This one measures how your heart is doing as you ride along. Of course there is always the GPS module which can be attached to provide directions when you are in unfamiliar territory.
Overall it’s quite a cool bike device which with it’s modular system could easily be expanded. All they need to create now is the air-con mod, the radio mod and the V12 mod.
