IPHONE

okay so today i will talk about the iphone like i was supposed to yesterday. okay first of all if you don't know what the iphone is yet, it is a cell phone made by Apple. it has cingular phone service and will give you internet access,a video and music player, and a portable version of mac osx. In theory it is basically a cellphone, an intenet browser, and a video ipod all combined into one with a cut down harddrive and the ability to run executable files because of the mac osx os(operating system). it also has a completely touch screen based interface, this means that typing will probably be similar to the nintendo ds, or a palm pilot which can be annoying but works for simple things like search terms and web adresses. Now because it can run executables it is possible people will make ways for you to play roms on it but the likelyhood is low becaause of the touchscreen interface. It has ab uilt in camera like most phones nowadays that can take up to 2 megapixel images with it. For wireless internet acess it has a wifi connection, EDGE(idk what that is please comment and tell me, and blutooth connectivity which makes me wonder if you will be able to transfer files from your pc if it is bluetooth compatible. it has a 3.5 inch screen which is bigger than any ipod currently on the market and its resoluytion is 320 by 480 at 166 pixels per inch. Now despite its ability to play music and movies it only has a 4gb or 8gb harddrive which is not horrible for a portable device but it is still too low in my opinion. because it is from mac it is compatible with things such as widgets and uses the mac preferred web browser Safari. It has all the basic phone features and an incredibly high quality screen. Because it uses the edge network provided by cingular many people are assumiong that it will be sold by cingualar mainly whˆch means that many of you verizon fans like myself may not be able to get one without switching services. Finbally it is currently priced at $500 not including a phone plan or any of that crap that phone companies sucker you into. Now i don't know if this price is for the 4gb model or the 8gb model but it is probab ly the 4 in which case vuying either model of the phone might ot make much sense because with that money you can buy a ps3. well that is all i have to say on this but if you want more information on it you can go to the apple websites main page on the iphone at this link http://www.apple.com/iphone/technology/ .

World of Warcraft, WarioWare, and the Iphone

Hey so its been a while since ive posted. I know i said a while ago that i would post a review of the zune and the ipod video to compare but that didnt end up happening. Sorry about that but i ended up not having the time after the wii came out and i got one. So my day today was pretty good however I thnk im failing my calculus course, still. So other than that the only thing im mad about is that i have to save up like 300 for prom and that means my new graphics card will be delayed and that sux balls. Well anyway onto the title. First of all I joing World of warcraft sadly thoiugh i did this right before burning crusade came out so now there are a whole bunch of people who started playing and are slowing down my server. World of warcraft is really good however the problem im finding is that its not incredibly fun unless you are questing with someone else. What is good though is the econmy is controlled really well because they make items that are really strong impossible to trade or auction to other players so it is impossible for one person to take full control of the games economy by selling a whole bunch of shit. Hey one piece of advice. if you ever get to a really high level and need some money find some people who want help with a low level dungeon and have them pay you to walk them through the dungeon so they can loot all of the items. So yea next is Warioware. Warioware smooth moves for the nin tendo wii is very good ghowever the problem is that un like most of the warioware games you can't play minigames for an unlimited number of rounds. However despite this flaw the game uses the wiimote so well it is amazing and the shear randomness of it makes it an enjoyable experience for anyone who loves either party games or minigames. Okay i have to go but i will post another article in about a half hour about the iphone c ya.
