Bring your friends along for the contest. You can invite a person by sending a ‘friend request’ using their nickname or email address, once you’re signed in to the Game Center app of course. Your friends’ names appear in a separate Friends list in the Game Center app and when you tap on a friend’s name you are able see what games they’ve been playing. You can add friends if you wish, from the pending friend requests that you receive.

Leaderboards and achievements

Look at the Game Center app to see how your score ranks against your friends on the leaderboard, as well as all players of each game. Let the competition begin.

Meet your match

If you want to start a game with multiple players, Auto-match will prioritize your friends if they are also looking for an auto-match. Alternatively Auto-match will find for you, a soon-to-be-friend from anywhere around the world. Or you can also choose to invite friends and Auto-match will fill the number of players needed for a game.

The itouch now includes a built-in three-axis gyroscope which when paired with the accelerometer makes it capable of advanced motion sensing such as user acceleration, full 3D attitude, and rotation rate. In other words, more motion gestures and greater precision for an even better gaming experience!

How to Choose a Memory Card

Choosing a Memory Card

Here we are looking at memory cards that are suitable for most digital cameras including the Canon PowerShot SD1200IS 10 MP Digital Camera

Removable memory cards store your pictures on your camera that can then be uploaded to your computer. They are durable pieces of equipment and are highly reliable. A reassuring aspect of these cards is that your pictures will remain stored on the memory card whether or not your camera battery remains charged.

You can choose your memory card based on:

• what is compatible with your camera

• the storage capacity of card that you want

• your budget

The following are suitable for the Canon PowerShot SD1200IS 10 MP Digital Camera:

MMC

The Multi Media Card (MMC) was the industry standard for portable flash memory cards and is about the size of a postage stamp and 1.4mm thick. The MMC is available in capacities of 128, 256 and 512MB and has a slow data transfer speed of 2.5MB/second.

MMC Plus

A Multi Media Plus (MMC Plus) is an improved version of the MMC card and has a 1GB storage capacity and has a much faster data transfer speed. The 128MB-1GB capacity card transfers data at the speed of 6MB/second whilst the 2GB capacity card transfers data at the speed of 11MB/second.

HC MMC Plus

A High Capacity Multi Media card (HC MMC plus) is an improved version of the MMC Plus. It also has copyright and data protection. They have a 32GB capacity and operate at speeds of up to 25MB/second.

SD

Secure Digital (SD) memory cards superceeded the MMC giving a greater storage capacity of up to 4GB and higher data transfer speeds of 6MB/second. They have the same dimensions as the MMC but are thicker at 2.1mm.You may find it more convenient to buy two 2GB cards rather than one 4GB card.

SDHC

Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) cards are the advanced versions of the SD cards. They have the same dimensions as the MMC and SD and are available in different capacities 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. As well as having a greater capacity than the SD cards the SDHC memory cards are capable of a higher speed of data transfer from the card. They can also protect copyright content through Digital Rights Management. There is a switch on the card which when moved into the correct position, locks the card and data cannot be lost or erased until the owner unlocks the memory card.

At the moment SD/SDHC cards tend to be more popular. Each type of memory card can be used interchangably providing the slot is large enough to accommodate the SD/SDHC card.
