Few weeks ago I wined a Nintendo Dsi- portable gaming system. Since then I have been playing and testing it and I have discovered some interesting and also boring features of it so in this article I wanted to tell you more about those advantages and disadvantages of this gaming system, also I will try to tell you overview of it.
Nintendo Dsi comes in two different colors, white and black, so you can choose a color which is better for you. I have white and using it for this few weeks it hasn’t became dirty, and if you are afraid only for that, then it’s not a problem for it.
In front of it, it has a 2 megapixels photo camera and nothing more is there. On the left side it has volume plus and minus buttons; on the right side it has a place for stylus and SD card slot. In front of it you will find headphones jack. In the backside of it has two left and right photo buttons, also a Nintendo Dsi game card slot. In down side you will only see the place where the battery is kept.
When you open it, first what you see are two screens, there are also power on and off button, gaming joystick and 4 buttons, with which you can play your games, also there are two buttons called Start and select.
Interesting fact, I think is that only one, of two screens is touch sensitive- it’s the one which is situated down side. Between those screens you will find also a second camera and a microphone.
When you first turn it on you will see a warning about health and safety. Secondly you will have a short setting up process, where you will need to take your photo, set the time & date and some stuff like that. When you will be done you will see your photo on the upper screen and the Nintendo Dsi menu on the second screen.

Ubuntu- Do I need it?
Category : Reviews
“Ubuntu is free, open-source operating system.” It can be installed on desktops, laptops and even servers. This is a good alternative for those who don’t want to pay extra charge. I had an opportunity to find out how it works; in the rest of my article I tried to solve the question “Do I really need it?” If you want find the answer, then continue reading.
Yesterday I had good chance to test the “Ubuntu 7.10” operating system. It was a LiveCD, so I didn’t need to install it on my hard drive to simply test it.
I did not check all functions of this system, but only the general.
What is an open-source operating system?
Open source operating system is the same, operating system like others, only this system is free of charge and the software code can by updated by any programmer in the world.
The real definition of the open source you can read in Wikipedia.
The Ubuntu
I think that Ubuntu is a good alternative for windows, because it has everything what we need. It has the Internet, Mail reading software, Office software, which includes (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) it is all named Open Office, which you can also use on your windows PC.
The original LiveCD boot’s too slow, but I think that it is not a problem. In the LiveCD you can everything preinstalled, like Firefox web browser, Open Office, Games and many more useful programs.
This Operating system for me was very easy to use, because there everything is made logically.
The best thing which I did not expect that the internet will be ready, after the boot, so I didn’t needed to configure it manually.
The LiveCD also gives us an opportunity to use it anywhere and also everything is legally.
The biggest disadvantage of this OS is that it hasn’t so many programs as windows have. But there are also people, who use the computer only to surf the internet, listen music, watch movies, chat with friends and etc. And this OS allows you to do it.
Ubuntu- Do I need it?
After spending only about 30minutes with this OS, I can say only the best. And which operating system to choose only depends on your goals which you want to reach and also in what cases do you use it If you use the computer only to write something, check out the internet, watch some movies or listen music on it, then you can choose the Ubuntu, and by choosing it you will also economy some money, because its free. If you are planning to use this computer for other goals like gaming, video edit, website making and etc. then the best choose for you will be the windows.
The desktop edition of Ubuntu is available for download on this link:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
To use Ubuntu you will need: PC with at least 384mb of RAM, and 4GB of hard drive space. The latest information about Linux can be found on official website:
www.ubuntu.com
I will be happy to hear your experience with the Ubuntu, in the comments bellow.

Sony DCR-DVD 110E – Review
Category : Reviews
Everybody loves to take photos, so they can show their feelings and fun. But when the YouTube came, then everybody started to think on buying a camcorder. I had other reasons, when I bought it, and now I am happy, that I bought one, because it allows not only show my feelings but also show this all in action. I am satisfied with my camera now and that’s way I wanted to write a short review for those, who are thinking on buying this or any other camera, I hope this will help you to choose camcorder, which fits your needs.
Design and look
This camcorder is made very simple, it hasn’t a glossy design, and it’s just for simple users. If you are looking for camera, which will bring your friends attention then this isn’t the right camera. The body is made from silver plastic, only the back, where the Mini DVD is kept is black and it’s made from rubber. This camera is easy to hold in hand. In standard shop assembly it comes with special belt which allows you to hold this camera.
There aren’t many buttons, because the screen is touchable, this function you will see in almost every Sony made camcorder. There are still some buttons on the panel, they are the most important – stop and record button’s. Also there are the same buttons – record and stop buttons on the left side of the screen. I almost forgot there are also buttons to zoom in and zoom out. There are also located on both, the screen left side and back. This camera also has one minus and it’s the location where is the Mini DVD insert and eject panel, it’s just simply very uncomfortable, when you trying to change the disc, because the belt for holding is on the way of it. So please note, when buying this camera, check it in shop already, not just in home, when it’s little bit too late.
Also one interesting note, which I noticed using this camera and which I think is big plus for it. All the holes are hidden with something, so no one can see them.
So this is very simple designed camera which is mostly in silver and black colors. If you don’t want to be the superstar among your friends, then this camera is right for you, besides it’s easy in use, because it most cases you will use the touch screen.

Canon EOS 400D Review
Category : Reviews
Everybody loves to take some photos. No meter what kind of camera you have, is it a simple digital camera, maybe old Zenit, or even a mobile phone, you still like to take the photo with it. Few years ago I purchased a DSLR camera. I choose Canon EOS 400D and I am still happy with my camera. This will be a quick look of the camera; here I will try not to describe all the camera functions, because this all them you can find in other websites, just search Google. This will be a quick review on it. So if you are interested, then continue reading.
Design of the camera.
This camera all is in black color. The material from which the camera is made is plastic, which feels good when you touch it. It look like other DSLRS, it hasn’t anything special. All the holes of the USB, TV ports are nicely hided, by a piece of rubber. It weighs about 500 grams without the battery. On backside it has a 2.5 inches LCD display and lot of buttons, which are easy to push. In front it has only to buttons, one to jack down the leans and other see the depth of field. The main controls are made on backside. On the top of the camera you will find a wheel which will help you to setup a program in which you want to take the picture and after that you will see the “take picture” button. Of course on the top of camera is a special place to hold extra flash.

The Sonny Ericsson W880i is one of the thinnest phones in the world. It has two main functions calling and music player, because it is the walkman series model. I have been using it for almost two years and I am satisfied with it, but I also found some disadvantages in this cell phone. So I wanted to create a review on this phone, to get you known of this phone, before buying it.
The design and look.
When I first time took it in my hand I thought that I am holding anything, like it would be empty. It was because the phone is not only 9 mm thin, but also lightweight.
The phone is made from metal and the back is from rubber. That’s way it is nicely to hold it when you are doing something with it. The biggest disadvantage of this phone is buttons, they are too small. I suggest you, if you have big fingers then test it, before you buy, not everybody will like it. If you touch the screen with fingers then it will stay spots, but they aren’t seen when the screen is light up. Using the phone for about 3 weeks I noticed that the metallic color on the bottom of the phone is coming down, but it is no meter, because it is hard to see.
