nightly I read an interesting article on wired.com this morning about reports of Nintendo’s follow up gaming console to the Wii having a touch screen in the controller. This idea sounds fascinating and at the same time brings on a world of possibilities. The last paragraph (the last sentence particularly) I found to be the most thought provoking.
“We don’t yet know what Project Cafe will let users do with this reported screen-in-a-controller. Will it be used like Four Swords, to give players their own view of a given situation? Like Pokémon Battle Revolution, as a controller? Colmenar Viejo Or like iPad, putting the entirety of the game onto your own personal screen instead of the television?“
I am a video game nerd. I play less now than when I was younger, but I will still always find time to occasionally pick up the sticks. Enjoying playing video games with friends, I have always found multiplayer gaming to be a fun experience, but I also like to play solo games, and even casino games at this pokie spins login to make some money online. The last (iPad screen) possibility would be revolutionary for in-house multiplayer gaming. It would eliminate the need to have 4 player games all on one TV. Online multiplayer games where you have to take turns with your friends (thinking Call of Duty) would improve drastically. Personal gaming screens would make playing four player Mario Kart four times better, looking the same as a one player game of Mario Kart.
Lets cross our fingers this is happening. Then quality virtual gaming in 3D like in these new games which will allow you to legal start sports betting in kentucky. Then becoming one with the machine like in the movie “Tron”. Technology can be unbelievable.

Every year there is a new version of an apple product. That may not be a fact I am citing, but it might as well be. Currently, look at the iPhone, iPad, iTouch, iBook… even the operating systems are new every year for their computers.
This is Apples business plan. It is pretty obvious. The iPad 2 was announced early this week. In comparison to the iPad 1 it sounds epic, mainly because of just one feature: The front and rear cameras. This is perfect for Face Time. Video Conferencing will take off even more. I am planning on purchasing one just for that convience. That and being able to demo sites well to my customers at out of office meetings (which the iPad 1 accomplished).
That being said, do you know what is going to be better than the iPad 2? The iPad 3. Do you know what will be better than the iPhone 4 (that seems like it just came out)? The iPhone 5. Apple succeeds in using this business strategy because they are so far ahead of the competition when it comes to developing these devices. The Kindle and Android based readers all sound lame now that we know about the iPad 2 and its one of a kind features.
Basic economic principles tell Apple stockholders to beware since in the long run competition tends to catch up to the leader of the pack. Also, beware since their marketing strategy revolves around a person (Steve Jobs), who will eventually be dead since everyone dies. Well I guess by that logic Disney should be doing terrible.
Anyways, this should indicate to never buy a first generation Apple product. It is always lightyears behind the second generation product. I have an iPhone 3G in my pocket. It is terrible. This is because I have friends with iPhone 4s to play with. I notice how the battery actually works, the speed is quick, and it has a beautiful resolution, always making me feel terrible about my phone. My advice: Wait a year before purchasing anything from Apple, it will always get better.
