Pros: Safari, Mail, Able to be Jailbroken, It's thin, Unlock screen
Cons: With it had a scientific calculator, wish it came with a chat client, wish it had speakers
Last week I bought an 8gb iPod Touch from Apple's website for 300 bucks. They even decided to throw in a free laser engraving and free shipping.I can't say how much I love this device, it's so awesome. I love that it's so thin! It's something like 8mm thin. And of course, it's touch-screen and has accelerometer features (Like tilting it sideways to view album art). The standby feature is pretty cool too, when you push the power button, it prompts you to slide a slider to turn it on, and if you don't do so in like ten seconds, it shuts off to save battery.
Let's start with the features that come built in with it.
Safari: This is one of the best features on the iTouch. You can view the web via wifi. You can have bookmarks, put bookmarks on the home screen, have multiple windows open, and there's a nice search feature. A cool feature is you can view a page vertically or horizontally, just turn the iPod so it's horizontal to view it in a widescreen view. And you can zoom

Pros: Leather, Removable cover, Removable clip, Fits snuggly, Soft on the inside, Use iPod while it's in the case
I bought this case for my iPod Touch for $25.00 at Target. It's a great case. I like that it's leather, and not silicone or anything. It's also soft on the inside, so it's not gonna scratch it or anything. It comes with a removable clip, and a removable cover. I like that you can use the iPod while it's in the case, so that if I drop my iPod, it's not gonna get ruined (hopefully!).So this is a great product, I recommend buying it.

Pros: A hell of a lot thinner than iPod Mini, smaller, holds a good charge, color screen, photos
I have always used iPods for my mp3 players. I started off with a Mini a few years ago, but that got stolen from my locker...so I ended up buying a silver (not blue, as seen in pic), iPod Nano 2nd Generation. Now, I know that right now, you'd be better off getting an iPhone, iTouch, or Nano 3rd Gen., but this was great while those weren't out. Compared to Mini, this is SO much thinner, which is why I really wanted one. Of course, you gotta love the touch wheel that iPods have.
It plays a clear sound, and you can set equalizers, which is a great feature. And I also like that you can add photos to this, with a clear, color screen. I don't remember how much a 4g holds, but it was good enough for me, I didn't nearly hit the limit ;)
This iPod also has some extra features, like password lock, stopwatch, games...
But my password lock didn't work. It is supposed to ask you for a password when you start up the iPod, so that if it's stolen or something, it'll piss the kid off.

Pros: Connects to your wiimote
Cons: I guess $20.00 is a little pricy.
If you want to play SNES or N64 Virtual Console games, a Wii Classic Controller or GameCube controller is mandatory, due to the triggers. I bought this yesterday, because I wanted to play Super Mario World which I bought today. The controller cost me $20.00 at GameStop.
Before I bought it and took it out of the package, I thought the controller plugged into the Gamecube controller slots. To my surprise, it connects to your wiimote. So I like that it's [i]somewhat[/i] wireless, it's a hell of a lot better than plugging it into the slots. (Which is one reason I'd want this instead of a GameCube controller.)
But the thing works as it should. It is basically the same thing as a Super Nintendo controller, but this has 2 analog sticks. You can use the left one for SNES games, but I'd rather use the arrow pad.
So overall, I like it. I guess I have to recommend buying it, as it is needed to play VC games. (Unless you have GameCube controllers, of course.)

Pros: Playing with wiimotes, wifi internet, photos, virtual console games, mario games, news, weather, wireless controllers with speakers and vibrate, can play GameCube games, console is pretty small, you can send messages to other wii's
Cons: Can't save virtual console games
I got a Wii this past Christmas, and I love it.First off, the wiimotes. The wii comes with one, and I got another from buying Wii Play. They're wireless controllers that can sense where you're pointing, and how you move the controller. So when you play baseball, it know when you swing, and when you play bowling, it can tell if you put some spin on it. I really like that you can turn the Wii off via the power button on the wiimotes. Also, the wiimotes have little speakers for sound effects, and they rumble. For example, in bowling, it'll "ding" when it's your turn, or it'll make some noise if you mess up in Guitar Hero.
The wii is based around "channels". There's the Disc channel, internet channel, wii shop channel, news channel, weather channel, and some optional ones for free from wii shop. The internet, weather, and news run on wifi, which is very simple to set up (in options).
A really cool feature that the wii has is "Virtual Consoles". You can buy Virtual Consoles

Pros: Video, music, photos, internet, expandable memory via memory stick
Cons: Internet is slow
Short battery life
Bad graphics
Bad games basically
I got a PSP like two years ago for Christmas, and it was $250.00 , now it's $150.00 .This thing definitely wasn't worth $250.00 , and probably not even $150.00 .
Let's start with some good things about it. This thing can play mp4 video, it can play music, you can have photos, and you can go on the internet. I don't even play video games on it anymore, it's a waste of money. I just go on the internet and put some South Park on it. I bought a 1GB memory stick, so it can hold a lot of video.
However, the internet is very slow. Also, the games suck. You should see the graphics on Madden 06...the only games I sort of liked were the Grand Theft Autos. Liberty City Stories is the same as GTA 3, and then there's Vice City Stories. Another thing is that the PSP doesn't hold a very long charge.
Overall, I would rather have an iTouch, because all I did on PSP was videos and music etc...no games.

Pros: Charge your iPod, works with any audio device, dock connectors for every iPod, radio, alarm
Cons: My Nano dock connecter didn't fit right
I've had my iHome for a year or two now. I listen to the radio on it a lot and also listen to my iPod Nano on it. My brother uses it to charge his iPod Touch also. (Take the USB cord that connects it to the computer, connect the USB end into the "Shuffle" slot, and the other end into another iPod so you can charge 2 at once!)This product can work with any audio device, whether it's an iPod or not. It comes with a cord with a 3.5mm headphone jack at each end. Just plug one end to say, a CD player, and the other into the back of the iHome.
The iHome comes with a bunch of dock connectors, so that any iPod can fit into it snugly. However, the Nano one that came with mine fit into the radio, but my iPod wouldnt fit into it, it was a couple milimeters off. Luckily, my iPod came with one, but that was white and my iHome was black.
A cool feature on the iHome is the alarm. It starts out really soft, then gradually gets louder to wake you up.
Overall, it's a great product for

Pros: Never replace batteries
Holds a long charge
Lights indicate when they're done charging
Cons: Nothing at all
If you have a Wii, you can't go without one of these. It's a wiimote charger, no more need for batteries.I basically have this, but the brand I have is GigaWare (Wasn't on the site.). I believe this plugs into the wall, but mine plugs into my Wii via USB.
This product is absolutely amazing. You can just play Wii all day, then put the controllers in the charger when you go to bed. The next morning, they'll be fully charged.
I got one of these right when I got my Wii. I've never used batteries, and I don't get why people do.
When you get the product, you get special battery covers to put on your wiimotes. So put those on, then click the red Sync button on your Wii. Using a pen or something, push down the button on the cover of the wiimote so that it hits the red button inside (batteries are on the cover, so you cant just push the button inside the wiimote).
Overalll, if you have a Wii, get one of these!

Pros: Wireless guitar
Wifi multiplayer
Different skill levels
Career mode
When you screw up, it plays the sound on your wiimote, not the TV
Cons: Nothing, really
I got this game for Christmas, it was my first Wii game (besides Wii Play and Wii Sports). It cost $90 for the game and the guitar (wireless of course!)
It's a really fun game, even if you don't know how to play guitar. I started off my career on easy, of course, and now I'm starting hard. However, I really suck at doing the fifth finger notes! So all I'm really good at is Medium, and I finally passed Fire and Flames medium.
I really like that on this game, you can face people via wifi. It's really fun, and you can do different types of battles and stuff. Also, I like that the wiimote makes a noise when you mess up instead of the TV, so you know exactly when you're playing wrong, especially with multiplayer.
Overall, it's a great game, I reccomend it.

Pros: Good use of the wiimote
Multiplayer (Not network btw)
Cons: Not really that exciting/fun
I got this game for $30 about a month ago. I think I should of just went with Wario Wares for $50. This game's alright, it's kind of like Wario, where you do different things with your wiimote. You chop, serve, fry, butter pans, roll dough, etc...
But after a while, it kind of gets boring because you do the same stuff for like every recipe, and I've heard that this is nothing like the DS version which everyone seems to love.
If you're not really into video games and just want an easy game, or wanna play with the family or something, I guess this would be a good game for you.

Pros: Umm...wide variety of characters? :|
Cons: Boring
I went to my friend's house, and we played this game.I honestly would never buy it, it's extremely boring. All you do is jump up and hit a dice and go that many spaces forward. But you have "candy" which allows you to possibly steal stars from other people.
It's about as exciting as Monopoly. We played it once for like an hour (it takes forever for someone to win!), and I was like, "Finally, done playing this dumbass game, maybe we'll play Wii Sports or something..." until they said "Alright, let's play again!"
Altough, the second time we played, I ended up kicking everyone's ass in it! I had like 11 stars and everyone else had like 4 or 5 lol
Overall, I don't get who would pay $50 for this game.

Pros: 3D Flip
Mario, Bowser, and Peach
Pixels
Cons: TOO MUCH READING, THEY DON'T SHUT UP!
I absoultely love this game, it's the best game that I have for Wii in my opinion. The 2D » 3D mode is awesome, and I love that you can play as Mario, Bowser, and Peach (if you get far enough.) However, there's definitely too much talking in it! But other than that, it really brings back the fun of the original super mario bros. games (which I have on virtual console
). If you own a Wii, you have to buy this game!
