Worth Mentioning Gadgets Released
Nintendo Wii
A little while back, Nintendo came out with the Wii, their newest console. It's been interesting. Nintendo came out with a lot of cool games. Although, the graphics are not exactly to die for, but the motion sensitive game controller makes it all worth it in the end. Also, there have been reports of people accidentally destroying their Wiimotes (that's what they call the controllers, i know it sounds crappy) and their televisions with Wii Sports Bowling. Apparently, because people claim that the Wiimote strap wasn't manufactured properly. I'll say that these people are just plain clumsy. Anyway, there are rumors of lawsuits because of this but I haven't heard of one that was confirmed yet. Other than this, the Wii is cool and affordable. Price: $250.

Playstation 3
Another Japanese gadget that's worth mentioning is the Playstation 3. This one's by Sony. The PS3 is also a motion sensitive gaming console, but the controller design is the same as the Playstation 1 and 2. It takes advantage of Blu-ray technology, which has a capacity of 50GB storage. Graphics are nice it takes advantage of dual core technology as well. And unlike the XBox 360, the PS3 has 1GB worth of internal memory. Although the price tag can be a bit hefty, I'd say it could be worth it. Price: $699.

Microsoft Zune
Bill Gates and his boys come out with the very first iPod killer worth mentioning, the Microsoft Zune. Unfortunately, it came out a little too late. Although, there are features that still can impress. It has 802.11g wireless capabilities for one. But honestly, I don't really need that feature. Plus, it doesn't look attractive at all. And, it's more than an inch thick. And hell if I buy a gadget that's more than an inch thick. But at the $240-$250 price range they pegged it at, the Microsoft Zune is a gadget that is worth mentioning. But I didn't say it was worth buying.
Blackberry Pearl
Here's one that Paris Hilton's gonna like. It's the Blackberry Pearl. And it is available right now from Cingular. It looks attractive enough. It's got a QWERTY formatted keypad. It's priced at $400 if you plan to buy the handset contract free. But if you sign up with Cingular, you can get this priceless gem for as low as $200. But as for me, I don't really need a QWERTY set up for a cellphone. I'd go for slim and sleek. Samsung X820 perhaps? Or I'll just wait for the new iPhone that Kevin Rose was talking about.
