Two News DS Colors from Nintendo this Black Friday
Not everything needs to be dull in color this Black Friday. And with that in mind, one of the most popular gaming brands released two new DS colors exclusively for this Black Friday.
The company clearly wants a brand recall during this Black Friday shopping rush. And as many would agree, the best way to achieve viral marketing strategy is to announce new bundles. Nintendo’s limited-edition colors and bundles will be out in the market this Friday targeting the North American market.
Buyers can get the red DS with the popular M logo on the cover. It comes with the classic game title of Mario Bros., the New Super Mario Bros. Another option would be the Ice Blue DS that comes with a free cartridge of Brain Age.
Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sales and marketing believe that their company has the most affordable and the most popular video game system in this generation. “These limited-edition bundles make great gifts for first-time Nintendo DS players and collectors alike,” she added.

ShutterVoice Allows You Talk to Your Canon Camera
The future is here. You can now talk to your digital camera, and no, we’re not talking about a science fiction movie!
ShutterVoice technology allows this breakthrough and you can be sure to experience it thru Canon Camera. Canon DSLR now gets a little closer to Star Trek as noted by Rob Galbraith, a tech blogger and photographer. Canon’s EOS DSLR now has the function to accept and follow voice commands similar to many gadgets in science films.
The EOS utility, commands and photo execution can now be issued thru a voice command. Users only need to talk to their camera and voila, ShutterVoice will then “communicate” with EOS utility, making the camera execute the command.
Users need to first say the word “computer” as a basic call command before the actual command line is delivered, making even more sci-fi-like.
Developer of ShutterVoice informed Galbraith that he is still tweaking the application for Vista. Sooner, Mac users will also be able to use the application.
This application will be available in early December for $30.
