In the early 90s if you wanted to play video games you basically had to do it at home or in recreational. But then the first mass portable consoles arrived and showed that this segment had an extraordinary potential. This is how Nintendo He brought us his mythical Game Boy And how then many other increasingly and more versatile portable consoles would come. The recent presentation of the promising Nintendo Switch 2 It is a great opportunity to make that review. Of them we have had the opportunity to speak in the Fifth episode of crossoverthe biweekly program in which Xataka and Gama Topes join forces. One that as on other occasions brings a few surprises. He also does it with a somewhat shorter format with especially fun novelties. To begin with, content creator Lorena Garam takes advantage of her ease to imitate accents to trolize with great art the technical services of some technology stores. But there are also sections that allow us to find out How much does it cost to make an iPhone and other well -known products, or the interview with Juancho Marqués, poet and rapper.

We review the predecessors of the iPod in crossover

Marty McFly appears on stage with an anti -the -active suit. The goal, terrorizing his father in the past. He puts some headphones, puts a Van Halen tape on his Walkman, and puts it at full volume. That mythical scene of ‘Return to the future‘I had that technological product as a singular cast actor, and what if it deserved it. And it is that the Walkman was defining a whole generation of users who had never been able to hear their music easily when they went down the street. To be able to hear the songs that you liked the most? That was miraculous. Sony revolutionized the world with Walkman, but that product was only the beginning of a paradigm shift in the world of music. Then the Discman would arrive, and with the massive adoption of MP3 we discovered that music in digital format offered even more comforts. There, the first MP3 players based on flash memories, Discman MP3 and something after the first MP3 players based on small hard drives. Until Apple raised its first disruption with the iPod, of course. That product did nothing especially different, but it did better and in a spectacular design. Then the smartphones and the iPhone would arrive, and the iPod became irrelevant. In that review we escaped other great products such as the Minidisc, but we did not want the list to become too long and we prefer to review the ones we consider more relevant. In any case everyone had their own magic, and In the fourth crossover episodein which Xataka collaborates with range caps, we do A review of all those devices. And by the way we order them from better to worse because we love to order things from better to worse, although you already know, each one has their own ranking and that is the fun of these of these Tier Lists of crossover. The episode, as always, It covers much more. The polarizing section ‘A Popular Opinion’ is released, there is an interview with an expert from the world of formula 1 and the formula-e, and to the review of the most important news of the week is added the cherry cherry: a look at the scrambled Lamborghini and Urus se.

We talk about the best and worst in crossover

In the second decade of the 90s and the first of the 2000 the world in general and Spain in particular was conquered by mobile phones. Those devices They were not much less smartphones, but rather “Dumb phones” quite limited but still could have quite high prices. It was the time when mobile phones did not want to be larger, but smaller, in which the screen mattered almost nothing – because you just used it – in which the physical keyboard was absolutely fundamental and in which to send an SMS cost a small fortune. In fact, mobile phones were used for something for which they are almost or used: call. Despite their limitations, those devices –Many of them “Concha”– They caught us and marked the way to what would come later. Thanks to them they were created (and destroyed) empires – who tells Nokia and Blackberry – and we saw how experimentation in designs and benefits offered a frantic and sometimes crazy evolution. That evolution made us understand how the mobile was going to end up becoming a much more powerful device: one with which we could take photos or listen to music, for example. They were the great advance of our current smartphones, and we have done a small review of that story in the third episode of crossover, Xataka’s biweekly program and range What mixes entertainment and technology. This third program goes beyond that trip to the past with the mobiles of that first batch. Thus, Jaume Lahoz and Carlos Santa Engracia The engineerknown for its YouTube channel with almost “scientific” analysis of football matches, but there are even more surprises.
