The Nokia Lumia 800, which has been dubbed the ‘first real Windows Phone’, is finally available in South Africa. The handset comes with two exclusive Nokia applications: Nokia Drive and Nokia Music.
App review: Frametastic
I downloaded Frametastic a few weeks ago and it is listed (currently) as “free for a limited time” in its description on iTunes. If you are reading this and own any compatible device – iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad (running iOS 4.0 or later), I suggest you download it – you won’t regret it.
What I like about the app is that you can share lots of photos in a single frame. If you use other apps like Instagram or Path, it’s just easier to share a collage than to upload 5 individual photos. Read more…
Review: Nintendo 3DS
When you pick up and switch on the Nintendo 3DS for the first time and look into the glasses-free 3D screen, it will be nothing short of amazing. You get the feeling that you cannot believe what you are seeing.
To the right of the 3D screen, which is the top of the two screens on the handheld console, you will see a 3D slider. This lets you adjust the intensity of the 3D to a level your eyes are most comfortable with. Like any other DS console, the bottom screen is a touchscreen. Read more…
Review: Motorola MotoDefy
Posted by Nafisa on Mar 24, 2011 in cellular
When the Motorola MotoDefy landed on my desk for review, I was a bit busy with My Digital Life, so I passed it onto someone who could get a review up sooner than me. But I had some free time afterwards and the Motorola guys let me play with it for a bit.
I’ve reviewed Android handsets before, and know what to expect. I’m not a fan of Android on a tablet and think it’s more suited for mobile phone, because it’s more personal. Read more…
Review: Dr Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises
Posted by Nafisa on Mar 8, 2011 in gaming
Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training has been very successful on the Nintendo DS and has been adapted for the Xbox 360 as a Kinect title, with the addition of body exercises.
Up to four players can compete in more than 20 different activities with three levels of difficulty and face maths, logic, reflex, memory and physical challenges. All activities use the Kinect motion sensor and require movement of the limbs to solve puzzle.
The idea is to follow your personal programme and keep your ‘brain age’ as low as possible, by completing tasks in the shortest time possible. The game is designed to stimulate the mind and body by completing fast-paced games, which can be played in either single or multiplayer modes. Correct answers are given by using arms and legs. For example, if you are given four balloons with random numbers, you have to pop them in ascending order using your limbs.
Other activities require you to make a bridge with your hands to direct colour coded cars on the right platform, punching and kicking balloons once you solve the maths problem, and using both hands to keep Pacman away from the ghosts. Read more…
