Wii Nunchuck Controller


Wii Nunchuck Controller


The Wii Nunchuk controller is a secondary controller that adds even more innovation to the next generation of gaming, and does it all with less physical movement.
Used in conjunction with the standard Wii remote, certain games need the Nunchuk controller for additional control options. Contoured perfectly to fit a player's hand,
The Wii Nunchuk (left) connects directly to the Wii remote. The Nunchuk controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote controller. The Nunchuk contains the same three-axis motion sensor found in the Wii Remote, but also includes an analog stick, and two buttons to help assist in character movement.


Many games will allow you to control your character's movement with the Nunchuk in your left hand, while your right hand is free to execute the action movements with the Wii Remote. For example, the Nunchuk is particularly useful for games like Wii Boxing. You can use the Nunchuk to punch with your weaker hand, while you use the Wii remote to punch and jab with your predominant hand.


Take the fun to the next level with two-handed control of your games. .In first-person shooters, the Nunchuk controller carries the burden of movement, freeing you to aim and fire using a more natural motion with the Wii Remote. In a football game, you can make your quarterback elusive with the Nunchuk controller while you search for an open receiver to throw to using the Wii Remote. Serious gamers may even want to use two Nunchuk controllers to gain a fierce competitive edge.


Because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers are only relatively dependent on each other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most comfortable. Perfectly suitable for either right or left-hand use, the Wii Nunchuk controller grants accessibility not often seen in previous game controllers.


Also, the Nunchuk controller doesn't need its own power--it plugs into the Wii Remote controller when it's in use. So there's no need to worry about charging or replacing expensive batteries.
Adding a Nunchuk to your Wii system will definitely help you open the doors to the next level of gaming, and seriously step up performance. Just be careful not to knock out your significant other, or bruise the dog, severely, while using one, or two Nunchuk controllers. Product DescriptionContoured to perfectly fit a player's hand, the Nunchuk controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote controller and goes an extra step to meet the needs of gamers. The Nunchuk controller connects to the Wii Remote controller at its expansion port and is used in conjunction with the Wii Remote controller. The Nunchuk controller contains the same motion-sensing technology enabled in the Wii Remote controller but also includes an analog stick to assist in character movement. In several games, players will use the analog stick of the Nunchuk controller to move their characters and the Wii Remote controller to perform a specific action, whether that's throwing a pass in football or aiming a ranged weapon in an action game.Along with the analog stick, the motion-sensing Nunchuk controller also contains two buttons positioned for quick access. Because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers are only relatively dependent on each other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most comfortable. The ambidextrous nature of the Wii controllers grants accessibility seldom seen in game controllers.

The PowerShot SD800 IS features a 7.1-million-pixel CCD sensor. This high-resolution imager ensures every picture will have excellent detail, even when printed large, or cropped.


Wide-Angle Zoom Lens with ISBrand new lens design integrates a wide angle zoom (28-105mm equivalent) and image stabilization. This 3.8x wide zoom lens was designed with fewer yet "smarter" optics (dual sided aspherics and UA) to achieve a compact size with wide angle and IS while maintaining impressive image quality. The SD800 IS is the first Digital Elph to feature both of these exciting lens technologies.


This is the Digital ELPH that's raising the bar. There's everything you'd expect from a camera of this caliber: A 7.1 megapixel CCD to render images in magnificent detail and a DIGIC III Image Processor for stellar quality and fast operation. Yet what sets the SD800 IS Digital ELPH apart is its Wide-angle 3.8x optical zoom with Image Stabilizer technology for rock steady zooms. The Canon SD800 IS Digital ELPH, it's the Digital ELPH that's a step ahead.

Fujifilm Finepix V10 5.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom


Fujifilm Finepix V10 5.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom


5.0-megapixel CCD captures enough detail for photo-quality 13 x 17-inch prints
3-inch LCD display; 3.4x optical zoom
Can capture images at light sensitivities as high as 1600 ISO at full resolution, diminishing shake and blur from low-light or unsteady hands or subjects
Includes four video games: Number Puzzle, Break Out, Shooting Game, and Maze
Powered by NP-40 rechargeable battery (included); stores images on xD Picture Cards (16 MB card included)


Digital photographers will take sharper, more vivid pictures and see their results in a big way with the new 5-megapixel FinePix V10 digital camera.
The FinePix V10 is the first model in Fujifilm's 2006 digital camera line-up to use Real Photo Technology. Like its 2005 predecessors with Real Photo Technology, the FinePix V10 does an outstanding job of removing graininess or "noise" from its digital pictures. Image noise, much like static in a television signal, reduces a picture's sharpness. The noise problem is compounded when digital pictures are shot at higher light sensitivities, which can vary depending on lighting conditions.


The features and benefits of the FinePix V10 don't end with Real Photo Technology. The most noticeable physical feature of the FinePix V10 is the camera's enormous LCD. At 3 inches, the FinePix V10's LCD is one of largest in the ultracompact camera category. It gives the user an ideal platform for framing subjects or for sharing just-taken photos. Plus, the LCD has a number of features that ensure peak viewing performance regardless of scene lighting.


What's in the Box
Fuji V10 digital camera, USB cable, AV cable, hand strap, NP-40 Li-ion battery, 16 MB xD Picture Card, FinePix Viewer, ImageMixer VCD2 LE for FinePix, Raw file converter LE, and user manual.

Ipod





Connectivity
FireWire connectivity is included except for the Shuffle and Nano, they use USB (USB 2.0). The technolgy is also integrated into Power Macs, iMacs, eMacs, PowerBooks and iBooks. The FireWire technology was developed by Apple ad was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in 2001 for it's impact on the television industry.
CPU
The first three generations have two ARM 7TDMI CPUs running at 90 MHz. The ARM7 TDMI core is a 32-bit embedded RISC processor and delivers a hard macrocell optimized to provide the best combination of performance, power and area characteristics. This means that the ARM7 TDMI core enabled the iPod system designers to build embedded devices requiring only a small size, low power and high performance. Ideal for asmall portable media player. Models after the 3G version use chips of 80 MHz, the plus point of this is that battery life is saved.
Hard Disk

Standard Pods have a 1.8-in ATA hard disk from Toshiba. Weighing around fifty grams. When launched the 40GB of storage was the largest single platter capacity yet achieved on a 1.8in drive, or so Toshiba claimed. They later achieved a two-platter, 80GB version in 2004. The iPod mini uses a 1 inch disk from Hitachi. When launched the six-week waiting list to get a popular iPod Mini digital music player meant Hitachi had to double production. Hitachi GST's Microdrive is also used in Creative Technology's Nomad MuVo MP3 digital music player.
Memory
All models with a hard drive include 32-MiB flash ROM chip, this includes a bootloader which informs the iPod to load the operating system from the hard disk. This process will start the operating system when the user turns on a computer system. 4MB of the ram is used for the operating system; the other 28MB are used for buffering data from the hard drive. Except for the 5G 60 GB iPod all of the models have 32 MiB of RAM. This ram contains all the firmware and and stores the cache data to load songs from the hard drive. The new 5G 60 GB fifth-generation iPod now had 64 MiB of RAM, this will also extend the battery life as well. The more ram the less work is required of the battery. Experts feel that Apple failed with the memory because the iPod does not have the ability to read from its RAM chip while writing to it. This results in the iPod which stopping for one to two seconds while it reloads the buffer after playing all 28 MB of data.



The Ipod Is the Best Mp3 player hands down. The Ipod has made the mp3 Market What it is today. Every time Apple comes to the table a new product or update you Just have to have one.
