My latest phone is the BlackBerry Z10. It is the fully touch screen hone released earlier in 2013 by RIM. Overall I really like this phone. The touch screen is very smooth and requires only a light touch, you can easily navigate through different apps, and comes preloaded with several useful apps. The touch screen keyboard is very good, and will even offer words it thinks you might be typing for faster message compilations.
The camera is also a great feature that allows you to take a picture and then adjust it to get the clearest and highest quality picture. It is easy to set up, and offers an on screen tutorial to demonstrate finger movements that will help you to navigate your phone. This tutorial is always available so if you forget what to do, you can go back to it.
Phone quality is also good, and while talking, the screen fades to black to avoid touching any buttons with your cheeks or ear, but when you pull the phone away to check the time or end a call as I often do, the screen lights back up again without you having to touch it.
All in all I am quite the fan of the Blackberry Z10

When I first heard about the 3DS and it's 3D capabilities I was a little skeptical about how safe it was for the eyes. I purchased the Legend of Zelda 3DS that came with Ocarina of Time and was very pleased with the results. I don't use the 3D feature too much as I find with games such as Ocarina of time, where you have to move the DS physically while shooting arrows and things to be very distracting. Also you have to have the DS positioned at just the right angle, otherwise the 3D images are blurry and distorted. Now that I've had practice with it, itisn't so bad, but at first it was hard getting the image just right on the screen.
I'm also glad that you can play regular DS games on the 3DS as well. You can also download content from the wireless network much easier than on the DS lite, that uses and older wireless connectivity that is no longer used today.
What I wish was different about the 3DS is the charger. It comes with a cord and a little docking station tho charge the 3DS with, but the cord is not the same standard size are the DS lite cord. So if I lose that cord or the one for my DS lite, I cannot use the other to charge my handheld. But still, the 3DS is a good system altogether.

Apple Ipod Nano

The ipod nano, in my opinion, was one of the best mp3 products out there. The wheel was smooth for browsing through your music and even playing games. I owned the project red Ipod nano and to this day I wish I had not given it away.
I am a shuffler by nature and the wheel on the ipod nano was perfect for me. While listening to music I could skip songs and replay songs, pause and play, and adjust the volume without having to take the ipod out of my pocket. It fit everywhere and held all of my songs on it. Now that I have an ipod touch I feel it to be a hassel to play through songs. Sure the Ipod Touch can do so much more than play songs, but when the majority of what you do with an mp3 player is play songs, I'd prefer the freedom of wht ipod nano and ipod classic to the touch any day.

Ahh the DS lite... The back-lit screen version of the GameBoy Advanced. Seriously, I will never get rid of my DS lite, no matter how many DSes they release. Don't get me wrong, I love my 3DS very much, but if I can play my gameboy advanced games in the dark, the DS lite will always be a top pick in my books. I grew up gaming. I have had the Gameboy (a red one!), Gameboy Colour (The pokemon one!) and Gameboy Advanced (Purple. Not special) and then I moved onto the DS lite (It's lime green!). I stil have each of these consoles, and all of the games to them and I like to go back and play these games often. The DS lite helps me do that during the day with no mirror images, where you have to angle the handheld at a certain angle just to see what's going on in the game. I've had trouble with that on sunny days where I could barely see anything except my own reflection in the screen. It is also ideal during the night due to the back-lit screens. It's great for car trips and while playing DS games, if you close the DS the game will pause and go into sleep mode, and turn right back on again when the DS is opened.
The con side to that is that this function doesn't seem to work when playing Gameboy Advanced games. If you close the DS the music and the game will continue to run as if it were open.
The battery lasts quite a while in the DS system, and charges in about two hours or so, like an ipod. I love having the DS with me when I travel, and would recommend it to anyone, kids, teens and adults alike. There are plenty of games to suit every age, and if there's a particular Advanced game that you liked to play when you were younger, you can be sure that you can play it in the DS lite, provided the internal battery hasn't gone on it.

I bought an older Wii from a coworker of mine. The wii I bought is one of those consoles that are backwards compatible, but newer Wiis and the Wii U no longer offer backwards compatibility. My dream job would involve playing games, so gaming consoles are big on my wish list. I love nintendo products and the Wii is one of those consoles that are made for the younger generations based on the types of games that are released for it, like Just Dance, and lackof call of duty style games. The Wii is the only console that you can play Mario, Pokemon and Legend of Zelda, aside from nintendo's hand held consoles. Plus the older console I have plays Game Cube games as well, except that you need a game cube controller to play them.
Speaking of controllers, the Wii has almost an over-abundance of different controllers for different games, sterring wheels, hockey sticks, the classic controller, nun-chuck etc. I can't be bothered to purchase all of these different controllers just to play one or two games, I'd much rather stick to my classic controller and the wiimote.
The nintendo eshop on the wii system is also great. It has a bunch of older games that I loved when I was a kids, such as Final Fantasy 1, 2 and 3 (The american ones though, not in the japanese releases of the games), Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Pokemon Snap. I'm still waiting for certain N64 games to be released onto the eshop, but who knows if they ever will be released.
Over all, I like my Wii. It is not the only console I have, so all the things that the Wii lacks, such as dvd playing capabilities, I can simply use my PS2 for. There are plenty of games available for the Wii, and the Wii U has even more features to play with. It may be geared more towards younger children, but the Wii is also great for the young at heart and nostalgic gamers such as myself.
