Nintendo has cracked out the scalpel to perform the mother of all makeovers on its innovative
touchscreen machine. Having seemingly studied at the iPod night-school of cool, the DS has been toughened up, brightened up and made into a genuine rival to the PSP.
Where the DS Mark 1 felt about as robust as a dunked Rich Tea, the build quality of the Lite is reassuringly solid. Despite being 20 per cent lighter, its new compactness and deluxe, polished finish make it feel more, not less, substantial.
The top screen now clicks weightily into place. The motion of the new volume and power switch sliders is satisfyingly smooth, and the stylus is now larger and less tooth-picky. You?ll find the rubberised and remoulded directional pad, face and shoulder buttons more comfortable, too.
Both LCD screens, although no bigger than before, are now significantly brighter, producing brilliantly vivid colours that inject new life into all your old games. You can now manually flick between four brightness levels. The upgraded battery gives you about seven hours on full beam (that?s three hours more than PSP), and up to a marathon 19 hours on its dimmest setting.
DS and PSP used to occupy opposite ends of the playground, with Nintendo?s machine the snot-nosed brat to PSP?s suave, multi-media headboy. Today, supported by a diverse games library, free global Wi-Fi gaming, and the upcoming bespoke Opera Web browser with touchscreen links, Nintendo?s ?toy? has truly come of age.
2)Sony Ericsson P900i:
Sony Ericssons P990i was a feature packed fella Wi-Fi, QWERTY keypad, touchscreen you name it, he did it. But it showed. Every time you went away on business you had to book it an extra seat on the plane.
The new P900i is 25 per cent smaller than its older brother, but still as well equipped as a pinstriped Swiss army knife. Youll get Wi-Fi, 3G, a full QWERTY keypad and VoIP capabilities all running on a UIQ OS.
Mini-QWERTYphobes have the option of handwriting recognition on the 2.6in touchscreen and itll come with 160MB of built-in brains. As with most Sony Erics youll be able to stash some extra in the MicroSD slot should you run out of space.
But dont let your mind stray too far from business; therell be plenty of time for fun at the weekend. The P1 gets a new hint of fruit with support for BlackBerry Connect email and a business card scanner that imports all details directly into your contacts.
When the weekend does finally come, the 3.2MP cam will cope with some casual snapping, there's wire-free music via A2DP Bluetooth, and for fans of the wireless (no, the old kind) theres an FM radio too.
3) Nokia N95:
It takes a deep intake of breath to roll off the feature list of the Stuff-proclaimed ‘best phone ever’, but here goes. For your connectivity and web-surfing needs, there’s the full spectrum of Wi-Fi, HSPDA and stereo Bluetooth, which goes nicely with the 2.6in QVGA screen.
Then, to replace your dusty compact, there’s a 5MP camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and built-in flash. Inside, it has 160MB of internal memory along with a microSD slot for you to store all your music, photos and video. And then there’s the cherry on top: a GPS receiver to guide you home.
