Taiko: Stand Master {Joystiq Nintendo}
Feb 27th 2008 8:42AM Below is basically the same exact stand, which does rotate to be in either the horizontal or vertical view. The one below is white and doesn't have the dual styli holders. :)

Rock your DS's sound through the car stereo {Joystiq Nintendo}
Feb 25th 2008 10:40AM I did this with my GBA SP with some Castlevania. I just used a FM transmitter (since my car has neither a cassette player or an aux input.)
When I got my DS lite/M3 I played MP3's all the time. I don't do it anymore because the FM transmitter sucks (it would randomly turn off and it's not powerful enough for the big city.)

Dude, you just posted a question I basically answered in my #5 post. :) Although it was hard to understand what the heck I was talking about.
So yeah you can change the option instead of the D-pad to change chords you use the four face buttons; X,Y,B, and A. You press each one of those and also combinations of each like XY, BA, XB, and YA for more chords so that you can strum with your left hand.
You can also change which direction the strum goes if you feel so inclined. The top half of the touch screen can be up UP and the bottom half DOWN; or vice versa.
DS Daily: Adapting anime {Joystiq Nintendo}
Mar 19th 2007 9:35AM I've been an anime/manga fan for some time. I'm always open to games even though they might be based off of an anime i don't care for. Some of the DBZ games have been good although I don't really care for the anime.
I've play Jump Super Stars and liked it for a bit but it got tired pretty quick.
I've watched the Bleach anime and liked it overall and the two Bleach DS games are great as far as handheld 2D fighting games go.
DS Daily: We just want to talk about Jam Sessions some more {Joystiq Nintendo}
Mar 19th 2007 8:37AM I play real guitar and enjoy rhythm/music based games (and non-games) in general. I'm excited about the domestic version of this game, especially with songs I hopefully will recognize. I obtained the imported game and it's pretty neat. Unfortunately I don't have a grasp on Japanese so some options and menus elude my understanding. Fortunately, my girlfriend knows Japanese a bit so hopefully she can help translate. :) I have figured out how to change which chords I want to display and the other basics. I still haven't played it enough to figure out how to play along with any of the songs though.
One thing that bothers me about this 'non-game' is that with my DS Lite is the D-pad. I didn't notice how inaccurate it was until I started playing with this game. Well it feels 'mushy' or something. Whatever the case, I don't really like my D-pad. Yes you can change chords with the buttons but then you either have to be left handed or hold the DS all weird.

It'sa me! Mario.... no wait...
Here's my Mii creation. And for a Mii character it comes pretty close to a real life me. However, my hair is MUCH cooler in real life. :P
JK.

Oct 24th 2006 10:23AM Oh, HTC is "self-branding" their own Hermes and it's called the TyTN. Nevermind then.
Cingular 8525 spotted (again) {Engadget}
Oct 24th 2006 10:21AM So wait, what's the difference between the Hermes and the TyTN? Is there any difference? Why is it called "HTC Hermes" and the "HTC TyTN?"
On a somewhat related topic, I spotted a building in the city I live in and it has a "HTC" sign outside with the words "Smart Mobility" under it. Interesting....

And hopefully the T-Mobile MDA Vario II (HTC Hermes 300) if they ever release it here...
Or possibly the new T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur 160)
