Evolution of Video Games

My good friend and life time gamer, Darren, sent over this YouTube video about the evolution of video games. I don’t think kids know how good they’ve got it. Remember the hours we’d spend trying to master Pong or drive the Pole Position track over and over trying to extend our time. Those are a distant memory for today’s gamer. As for our kids, I wonder what their evolution snap-shot will look like? Take a look…

2g or .07 ounce 4GB UFD

We’ll add this to the list of, “where’d my UFD go” as Trascend’s T2K UFD (USB Flash Drive) is one of the smallest of it’s kind. Thank God they included a slot and tether to batten her down to our person. Enjoy the T2K in 1, 2 and 4GB capacities. Apparently Transcend uses a special sealing process to bond the plastic case to the internal memory, pcb and connectors.

Video Out Adaptor – PowerPoint To Projector, No PC

Video-Out Card Adaptor is a traveling salesman’s best friend. Load up a MiniSD or MicroSD card with your razor-sharp-sales-pitch and hit the road because this adaptor turns your PDA or SmartPhone into a traveling video station. At one end is the VGA connector and the other a flash memory adaptor to seamlessly transmit video from your device to desktop display or projector. Max resolution isn’t bad either at 1024×768. Connection ability doesn’t stop at VGA either, you also have S-Video and RCA video outs. To really impress those phone jockeys on the sales floor, control the slideshow with included remote. NTSC and PAL supported.

MP3 Player Doesn't Look Like a Tomato

Can’t stand iPods, looking for an iPod alternate? The Tomato MP3 player from PlayTomato is a good front runner. This 2inch TFT LCD screen provides superior viewing quality to most PMP units at 260,000 colors. Plays both video and photo, as well as MP3 and streaming radio.

Not sure about the sound quality as that depends on the compressions engine used. With a MiniSD slot for additional storage the Tomato MP3 player is kinda sweet. On board USB for sync, speakers for listening and mic for recording. Continue Reading 1 Comment
