Will a Nintendo 3DS phone be a cheap videophone?

<P>Nintendo is always highly secretive about forthcoming new hardware and gaming tech. The Mario factory ranks alongside Apple in terms of the precautions taken to ensure its latest tech developments are kept strictly behind closed doors. </P><br /><P><img alt="3DS red" src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/images/3DSred-420-90.jpg" title="3DS red" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>Many games journalists routinely moan about what may, at times, seem to be an extremely clandestine way of organising and promoting a consumer technology business, yet the strategy clearly paid off well with the last two major console launches from Kyoto.</P><br /><P>Both the Nintendo DS's touchscreen and the Wii's motion control being prime examples of 'distruptive' technology, each successfully shaking up the gaming market.</P><br /><P><STRONG>What 'else' will the 3DS do?</STRONG></P><br /><P>Hence the secrecy (and strict confidentiality of the 'non disclosure agreements' signed by selected developers and editors) surrounding the new glasses-free 3DS console due to arrive in UK stores at some point next 'spring' – around late March/Easter time, we currently hope. An official announcement regarding the exact details of the launch should arrive soon after Christmas.</P><br /><P><img alt="3DS black" src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/images/3DSblack-420-90.jpg" title="3DS black" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>Yet while the Japanese gaming giant has already officially announced <a href="http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=17908">73 games for the forthcoming auto-stereoscopic handheld,</A> there is little concrete information in the public domain about what <EM>else</EM> we might be able to do with this 3D-camera-toting affordable piece of consumer technology.</P><br /><P>Will it work as an affordable 3D camera, for example? Or, more excitingly for many, might it even work as a rudimentary video-calling device? </P><br /><P>Could Nintendo market the new 3DS as, effectively, a cheap 'Skype box' for those that cannot afford to get tied-in to the expensive Apple Facetime gadget otherwise known as the iPhone 4?</P><br /><P><STRONG>Nintendo rattled by Apple</STRONG></P><br /><P>One thing is for sure. Nintendo is certainly rattled by Apple's rapid and successful move into the handheld gaming market with the iPhone. </P><br /><P>The hardcore may have scoffed for the last year or two at the standard of gaming on the iPhone 3G and 3GS (and previous iterations of Apple's smartphone), yet any gamer worth his or her salt that has upgraded to an iPhone 4 cannot deny that Apple is clearly now taking gaming seriously. (Just check out id Software's sublime <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/rage-hd/id400707675?mt=8">Rage HD</A> if you still need convincing). </P><br /><P><img alt="3DS blue" src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/images/3DSblue-420-90.jpg" title="3DS blue" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>So despite its continued dominance in the handheld gaming market, Nintendo's defiant silence about the spec of its new handheld and about which component manufacturers it is working with on the 3DS leads many gamers and industry analysts and observers to speculate about other new non-gaming features that might wow that huge casual gaming market that has previously already bought into Wii and/or DS.</P><br /><P>Online news obsessives and rumour-mongerers in the games media have already published what purports to be the glasses-free 3D handheld's tech specs earlier this autumn. Yet while those details may have come from a pretty reliable source (IGN) there is still no official word from Nintendo, with reps consistently (almost reliably) "refusing to comment on rumour or speculation."</P><br /><P>Still, for what it's worth right now, IGN alleges that the Nintendo 3DS has not one, but two 266MHz ARM11 CPUs, with a 133MHz GPU, 4MBs of dedicated VRAM, 64MBs of RAM, and 1.5GBs of flash storage.</P><br /><P>This was perhaps most interesting to tech industry watchers because most consumers will know the ARM 11 range of mobile processors due to their use in Apple's iPhones and the latest Android smartphones. (An ARM11 processor also powers the the Zune HD). </P><br /><P><STRONG>The unsung hero of the 3DS</STRONG></P><br /><P>The 3DS' GPU is reportedly said to be DMP's PICA200, with a maximum processing speed of around 200MHz, with the handheld also said to feature 1.5GB of flash memory, which can also be expanded using the 3DS' SD card slot. Yet it is the dual-camera function that has most tech and gaming industry observers <EM>really </EM>excited.</P><br /><P>"The 3D, dual-camera function of 3DS is one of its real unsung heroes. It's a technology that already exists, but by placing it into a device whose price and marketing will scream 'accessible', Nintendo will no doubt bring this to an audience who would otherwise not have stumbled across it," says Tim Ingham, editor of <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=278507?cid=OTC-RSS&attr=CVG-News-RSS">CVG</A> </P><br /><P>Ingham continues: "The 3DS takes two images and allows you to 'merge' them into one 3D image via its sliding button. Would that be technically capable for video? I can't see why the principle couldn't carry over into moving imagery. </P><br /><P>"However, it would represent the first time Nintendo had ever put video capability into one of its handheld devices – so would represent a 'double jump' forward for the firm."</P><br /><P>One interesting bit of news to consider is the fact that the new Pokemen game, <EM>Pokemon Black and White</EM> – for many, Nintendo's definitive handheld franchise – <EM>will</EM> contain <a href="http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=129985">video chat</A>.</P><br /><P>Clearly this will be closely controlled and monitored, as Nintendo has always been keen to maintain its sheen of family-friendly fun and reliability. And, so far, this new video function in the latest Pokemon title is limited to Japan and (weirdly) only works on local area networks (where surely you can <EM>see </EM>your companions and opponents?!).</P><br /><P>But it still begs the question, if video chat can be done in the new Pokemon game, why can it not be done as a standalone feature for 3DS users to enjoy outside of playing a first party Nintendo game? </P><br /><P>And, by extension, if the technical capability is there to allow 3D video chat to happen, yet Nintendo restricts it, might we see a new homebrew/hacking scene making the best out of Nintendo's new 3D camera device?</P><br /><P>These questions, and many many others regarding the games and functions and capabilities of the new 3DS, will no doubt be answered over the coming months as we approach the UK launch next spring. </P>

Cheap Web Hosting - Choose The Right Company

<br /> <p>You have carried out the hard part and that's creating the web site. The next step is to get it hosted as to allow the public find your site. So why do so many first time web host seekers fall into the trap of a bad web host company? Well there are a number of factors to consider and none bigger than the price. We all want cheap web hosting but unfortunately price is not always what you should go for.</p><p>You have to be more aware of the web hosting company that you choose. If you have a budget stick to it, if you see hosting for little or nothing and find yourself thinking "how do they make money" stay well away, the chances are your web site will be hosted with very little bandwidth resulting in a very slow accessible and unprofessional web site. You may also find that the customer service is little or none.</p><p>You need to clearly outline your own requirements to the web hosting company, if you do not do so you are at fault and not in any position to point the finger at others. If you make a list of requirements such as particular files you need etc you can send your requirements to multiple hosting companies and see who comes back with the greater service.</p><p>If you have more than one web site to host such as affiliate marketers it is not a good idea to put all your sites with the one web host company server to start with, you need to be 100% confident with the service, so start with one web site first as a test. Remember if you do host all your websites with one host company, all it takes is one problem to bring all your sites down and could result in lose of revenue for you. At least if you have some web sites hosted by another company they will still be online.</p><p>Some web host companies offer testimonials on their own web site from valued customers recommending them. Seeing is not believing, call these customers and get a face value recommendation for yourself.</p><p><b>What if I have problems?</b></p><p>Lets be honest, problems can occur and they maybe your fault and sometimes the web host company is to blame. Problems with technology can occur any time but it's how the hosting company react to the fault that will determine if you stay with them or not. If you find your web site dropping off line or downloading slowly at a regular basis simply change to another web host company. On going problems not fixed is a very bad sign and it shows arrogance towards their customers. Support is vital from a web host company and it should be 24 hour if it's a large organisation.</p><p><b>Virus Problems and Hackers</b></p><p>It is up to the web host company to ensure that your files are protected from virus and hackers at all times. There has been plenty of companies who have had their web sites hacked only then to find out that the web host company had not got the latest patches and security software applied. First timers to web hosting should always ask how often updates and what software is used to protect web sites.</p><p><b>Tips: </b></p><p>In business your web site can be a large source of revenue or sometimes your only source. Always do your own backup of the web site. If the web host company experience problems and for whatever reason has no backups available your whole business could be on hold. Backups are vital so do it as regular as possible or face the consequences. Some companies have testimonials on their web site from customers, do not be afraid to call these guys for an up to date reference.</p><p>If you where taking on an employee you would check all references, this is similar. Always get the full contact details of the web hosting company, many people simple go online and have an email address only as the contact. If their email goes down and you need to contact them you should have their full details at hand. Always shop around for the different web hosting plans and compare, you will find large differences, after you settle with a budget ask the necessary questions before you sign up.</p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <p><b>About the Author</p><p></b>Declan Tobin is a successful freelance writer providing advice to consumers on purchasing a variety of Affordable Web Hosting [http://www.no1-in-web-hosting.com] and Cheap web hosting [http://www.no1-in-web-hosting.com/Cheap-web-hosting.html], and more! His numerous articles provide a wonderfully researched resource of interesting and relevant information.</p> <br />

Buying Guide: Top 5 best cheap 3D TVs

<img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//classifications/home-entertainment/tv/images/3d_tv_bundles/Philip%2040PFL8605-200-200.jpg"><br /><P>Twenty percent of all TVs will be 3D by the end of 2011 according to Currys, a figure that's also roughly the same as the TV market share of Samsung, which dominates our round up of 'cheap' 3D TVs.</P><br /><P><br /><P>Currys is just one of several major retailers currently on a pre-Christmas depth charge. With slashed prices for the latest 3D TVs and with Best Buy, John Lewis, Pixmania et al bundling-in everything from 3D Blu-ray players, extra pairs of 3D glasses and even 3D movies, now is the time to get on the 3D bandwagon… if you have a spare £1,000.</P><br /><P>In the absence of a festive 3D Bond film (perhaps next year), stick a 3D Blu-ray copy of <EM>Shrek</EM> or <EM>Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs</EM> in your back pocket, and prepare for a grand day out. </P><br /><P><STRONG>1.

Originally mooted to sell for around £915, the <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/television/samsung-shows-off-c680-and-c490-3d-pdp-tvs-713866">PS50C490</A> includes Samsung;s 3D Hyper Real engine, but cuts-out the DLNA Allshare media streaming capabilities you'll find on its slightly higher-spec brother, the 50-inch PS50C680. </P><br /><P>A two-year warranty comes standard – and Pixmania also throw in a mains adaptor – though shipping fees start at £77.60. To put this deal in context, Samsung's smaller 46-inch UE46C8000 LED-backlit 3DTV is <a href="http://www.bestbuy.co.uk/product/1000129543/samsung-ue46c8000-46-led-3d-tv.aspx" rel="nofollow">selling on Best Buy</A> for £1,989.99.</P><br /><P><STRONG>4.

While Internet was only meant for the chatting and mailing purpose, people still trust the most reliable method of voice communicating i.e. land line or basic telephones and mobile phones.</p><p>But now things have changed as now people can also make calls over Internet. Yes, it is true now users can make calls through Internet and can communicate with their distant relatives and friends. So now user need not dial international calls at expensive rates. Though still not many people are aware of this economical process. Yet experts claim that in near future it will change the entire course of existing communication process. This service is also known as the Voice over Internet Protocol or in short simply as VoIP.</p><p>This revolutionary technology can help anyone in calling over the Internet. The only thing that the person needs to make use of this service is an Internet connection. The connection should be broadband as it will benefit the user at the time of making long distance calls. Also the computer should be loaded with a sound card . In addition to that the user will also need accessories like microphone or headphone. If it is not possible for the user to arrange that he can certainly go for an IP phone which is normal looking phone that is connected to Ethernet . If even arranging this is not possible for the user then he can opt for ATA ( Analogue Telephone Adapter ). Also with that the users will need a Messaging software or a softphone. After that the user just need to pay the subscription charges to avail this service to VoIP service provider and soon after that the user will be almost calling for free.</p><p>With this service the user can enjoy various advantages of messaging and calling.

Users can also call to common landline phones through this service at a very cheap rate.</p><p>Despite offering many advantages, the process of making internet calls also suffer with some limitations. First, it is directly dependent upon the Internet connection. Hence at the place where the Internet connection will not be available there the user will face difficulties in operating this service. Second, this service cannot be used at the time when there is no power which in case of basic phone does not affect the service, that's its another drawback. Third, since this service is based directly on Internet therefore it can fell prey to the problems like viruses, hacking etc. Fourth, the user cannot simultaneously use two different applications as it will disturb the process and chances are there that the system of user may crash amidst an important call. Fifth, the user of this service cannot make urgent emergencies calls in case if the users find it difficult to proclaim his location.</p><p>In addition to all these the users also need to keep some few things in mind. First, before availing or going to subscribe the connection, user should read the terms and conditions. This will help user in preventing himself to fall prey to any kind of fraud or exploitation. Second, the rates or tariffs of these service change very frequently. Hence it is necessary for the user to keep himself abreast with every kind of changes in tariffs and rates.</p><p>If the user will remember these suggestion then making calls over the Internet will always remain a pleasurable experience for him as it will help him to make Internet calls almost for free.</p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>For more information on how to make <a href="http://www.youtring.com" target="_new">internet calls</a>, visit: one of the best entertainment portal <a href="http://www.youtring.com" target="_new">YouTring</a>.</p> <br />

Buying Guide: Best cheap laptop under £350: 10 to choose from

<P>Sub-£350 laptops are never going to be capable of high end computing. They won't run the 3D latest games, or edit high-definition video. </P><br /><P>But, for stuff like word processing or web browsing they're absolutely ideal. All the laptops we've featured in this round-up include screens of 15.4-inches or above, so they're great for home use.</P><br /><P>Best of all, though, is the price: for around the same cost as a netbook, you're getting what is pretty much a full-blown PC. Here our our 10 favourite sub-£350 notebooks.</P><br /><P><STRONG>1. Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo V6535 - £276</STRONG></P><br /><P><img alt="Fujitsu siemens esprimo v6535" src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com/Review%20images/What%20Laptop/WLT%20133/WLT133.rev1.lenova-420-100.jpg" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>An ideal machine for families, Fujitsu Siemens' Esprimo V6535 features a matt 15.4-inch screen, which eliminates reflections, and an Intel GMA 4500M graphics chip, which is actually surprisingly capable for 3D application Build quality is impressive, too, and it won't attract too many scratches and marks. We were also impressed with the large comfortable keyboard, which is very suited to long-term use. Overall, this is a great machine for home use, but with 164 minutes of battery life it'll enjoy trips outside, too.</P><br /><P><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/laptops-portable-pcs/laptops-and-netbooks/fujitsu-esprimo-v6535-609838/review">Read our Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo V6535 review </A></P><br /><P><STRONG>2. Dell Vostro 1015 - £279</STRONG></P><br /><P><img alt="Dell vostro review" src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/computing/mobile-computing/images/dellvostro-420-90.jpg" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>Dell's Vostro is built to the same high standards of all the big D's machines, but it also costs less than £300. Bearing in mind Dell's netbooks are about the same price, it's a complete bargain. For the price, the specifications are - understandably - a bit feeble: you get a 160GB hard drive and a mere 1GB of RAM. But it's also got a nice 15.6-inch screen, a dual-layer DVD rewriter and Windows 7 Home Premium. </P><br /><P><STRONG>3. eMachines G420 - £299</STRONG></P><br /><P><img alt="eMachines g420 review" src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com/Review%20images/What%20Laptop/WLT%20141/WLT141.rev1.emachine_1-420-100.jpg" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>17.3-inches is a whopping screen size, and one you don't often seen on laptops in this price range. It's all backed up amicably by the its components, such as Nvidia's 9100M graphics chip, which is capable of basic photo editing, and a surprisingly powerful AMD Sempron processor. The sheer size of the beast means it's not the most portable of PCs, but as a clutter-free desktop replacement it's ideal.</P><br /><P><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/laptops-portable-pcs/laptops-and-netbooks/emachines-g420-712035/review">Read our eMachines G420 review</A></P><br /><P><STRONG>4. Asus X58L - £299</STRONG></P><br /><P><img alt="Asus x58l review" src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com/Review%20images/What%20Laptop/WLT%20127/WLT127.rev1.asus-420-100.jpg" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>Asus' bargailicious laptop doesn't really stand out from the crowd apart from in one area: its vibrant 15.4-inch screen. Its glossy Super- TFT coating means colours pop off the screen, and contrast and black levels are also impressive. Performance isn't great, but added extras like a dual-layer DVD rewriter and a 4-in-1 card reader make it nice and practical. It's hard-wearing, too, and features a smooth keyboard and large touchpad. Certainly not a bad option, especially given the low price.</P><br /><P><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/laptops-portable-pcs/laptops-and-netbooks/asus-x58l-609781/review">Read our Asus X58L review </A></P><br /><P><STRONG>5. Asus X5DC-SX025V - £299</STRONG></P><br /><P><img alt="Asus x5dc review" src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com/Review%20images/What%20Laptop/WLT%20141/WLT141.rev1.asus_1-420-100.jpg" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>Not the greatest laptop in the world by any stretch of the imagination, but we found Asus' venture into the world of cheap portable PCs pleasing enough. Although it let us down in the performance stakes, its usability more than made up for it, with a lovely keyboard and comfortable 15.6-inch screen making it ideal for internet browsing and word processing. It's also ruggedly made, and its matt-black plastics mean that it's not a magnet for dirt and fingerprints.</P><br /><P><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/laptops-portable-pcs/laptops-and-netbooks/asus-x5dc-sx025v-712025/review">Read our Asus X5DC-SX025V review </A></P><br /><P><STRONG>6. Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-2CH - £299</STRONG></P><br /><P><img alt="Toshiba satellite review" src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//Review%20images/What%20Laptop/WLT%20131/WLT131.rev1.toshiba-420-100.jpg" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>Toshiba's laptop is incredibly well made, thanks to its bulky, but not-too-heavy chassis. It also includes a lovely 15.4-inch screen perfectly suited for entertainment, and an impressive 194-minute battery life. The included internet security and DVD authoring tools make it ideal for first-time laptop buyers, but it's let down slightly in terms of performance and the awkward arrangement of its USB ports. Nevertheless, it's a portable and competent machine, and feature-packed for the price.</P><br /><P><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/laptops-portable-pcs/laptops-and-netbooks/toshiba-satellite-pro-l300-2ch-646940/review">Read our Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-2CH review </A></P><br /><P><STRONG>7. Lenovo G550 - £330</STRONG></P><br /><P><img alt="Lenovo g550 review" src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com/Review%20images/What%20Laptop/WLT%20133/WLT133.rev1.lenova-420-100.jpg" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>Lenovo - it of ThinkPad fame - knows how to build a decent laptop, and the G550 is no exception. Usability is the big selling point here, with a solid keyboard with a dedicated numeric keypad, as well as a 15.6-inch display capable of stunning brightness, colour and contrast. Lenovo hasn't skimped on innards, either, and you'll find a capacious 320GB drive within a machine that happily multitasks, too. The only slight let-down is graphics performance, but at this price-point it's a given.</P><br /><P><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/laptops-portable-pcs/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g550-664946/review">Read our Lenovo G550 review</A></P><br /><P><STRONG>8. HP Compaq Presario CQ61-402SA - £347</STRONG></P><br /><P><img alt="HP compaq review" src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com/Review%20images/What%20Laptop/WLT%20136/WLT136.rev1.hp01-420-100.jpg" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>Performance is actually rather good in HP Compaq Presario. You won't be editing high-definition videos or playing intense 3D games, but in terms of multitasking it's actually rather capable. HP's also bundled CyberLink MediaShow for editing videos and CyberLink PowerDVD for watching movies. Add to this the HDMI output and you've got a multimedia machine ideal for usage in the home. Admittedly, battery life could be a little better, but it's certainly worth the extra £50 over a other laptops in our round-up.</P><br /><P><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/laptops-portable-pcs/laptops-and-netbooks/hp-compaq-presario-cq61-402sa-680580/review">Read our HP Compaq Presario CQ61-402SA review</A></P><br /><P><STRONG>9. Toshiba Satellite L450-136 - £350</STRONG></P><br /><P><img alt="Toshiba satellite l450" src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//Review%20images/What%20Laptop/WLT%20133/WLT133.rev1.toshiba-420-100.jpg" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>It's a tight match between Toshiba's Satellite L450-136, and Lenovo's G550, above. The Lenovo just about pips the Toshiba in terms of graphical performance, and both offer similar levels of comfort and usability. However, in terms of connectivity, the Toshiba's the winner, including a speedy 802.11n WiFi connection, and an HDMI output for connecting it to a big-screen TV. Combine this with its excellent battery life and strong performance, and it's an extremely versatile laptop.</P><br /><P><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/laptops-portable-pcs/laptops-and-netbooks/toshiba-satellite-l450-136-664957/review">Read our Toshiba Satellite L450-136 review </A></P><br /><P><STRONG>10. Advent Modena - £350</STRONG></P><br /><P><img alt="Advent modena review" src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com/Review%20images/What%20Laptop/WLT%20139/WLT139.solo.Advent01-420-100.jpg" width="420"></IMG></P><br /><P>The ample storage provided by the 320GB hard drive and 2GB of DDR3 memory make Advent's Modena stand out from the crowd. As with most laptops of this price, it's not a hugely powerful machine, but it will handle internet browsing and watching the occasional DVD. It also includes a 15.6-inch TFT screen, which is glossy enough to show colours nicely, but not so glossy that you'll be constantly staring at your own face. At 33mm, it's fairly slim, too, but the low battery life means you can't stray too far from the mains.</P><br /><P>
