Microdisk

TrekStor has launched a pocket-sized hard disk, the DataStation microdisk, that measures 9×5.7×0.64cm, and is available with 20, 80 or 120GB of storage capacity.

The 1.8-inch hard disk does not need an external power supply, comes delivered with software for easy backups and can be password protected.

Weighing between 65 and 75 grams with an aluminium case, the disk is pre-formatted for immediate use and comes with Nero BackItUp 2 Essentials, which allows users to save individual files or entire drives immediately at the press of a button. The software also works to reduce the backed- up data by compressing it on the fly.

The DataStation microdisk comes complete with a USB 2.0 cable, the software-CD and user manual.

Nintendo DS was the top-selling U.S. system of 2007, with nearly 8.5 million sold, including more than 4 million in November and December alone. Wii placed second, with nearly 6.3 million sold through the year, more than 2.3 million of which sold in the final two months.

“By the end of 2007 we were sold out of virtually all hardware, and much of our stock of software and accessories was sold out as well, thanks to the broad appeal of Wii and Nintendo DS to core gamers, women, families, grandparents – and seemingly everyone in between,”said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sales and marketing. “And that momentum continues here in the early weeks of 2008.”

In 2007, the video game industry grew by 43 percent worldwide over 2006 and Nintendo is responsible for 60 percent of that growth.

Numark and iPod

Numarak

 

 

Numark is known for some extremely fine music equipment with specifications directed toward the DJ market segment. With Apple and the iPod being today’s trendy and premier way to cart your music around, Numark has come up with quite a few devices that cater to the iPod / DJ junkie – and one of their latest devices is a turntable called the TTi.

Although music can be downloaded easily enough via the net and iTunes, what about those golden oldies on vinyl that you’d love to have updated into your device? Numark has considered this query and their solution is in the form of the TTi turntable that includes a Universal Dock for the iPod, USB audio interface, a metal platter and a pitch control.

One of the prime features with the TTi turntable is that users can easily transfer old vinyl collections to an iPod directly. The included software bundle archives records directly to the user’s iTunes Library for transfer to CD or any MP3 player. The software also reduces noisy pops and clicks inherent on some old vinyl recordings.

Owners of iPod (Classic or 5th generation) and iPod Nano (2nd or 3rd generation) can record from vinyl directly to an iPod without a computer. People with other iPod models can transfer captured vinyl recordings to their iPods by using iTunes to transfer the tracks after recording.
