Hasta La Gadget!

We’re not quite sure when the Federal Communications Commission got into the habit of tearing devices limb from limb after testing their wireless radiation levels, but we have to say we’re loving the trend — and there’s quite nothing like peering into the juicy innards of a new Apple device. Here, the FCC got its greasy paws on the new Retina Display-packing iPod touch, aka “Apple A1367,” and in the gallery below you can see exactly where Cupertino keeps that A4 processor, 3.44 watt-hour battery, internal antenna, and 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz WiFi.

Interesting side note — we understand that Erick Schmidt, Larry Paige, and Serge Brin all own this phone. Oh, and Digiboy777, of course.

The searching capabilities in Vista are one of its best features and one of the most useful, and now it’s about to get even better. Just yesterday Microsoft launched the first preview of Windows Search 4.0. It is the successor to the Windows Search Platform which means it replaces Instant Search on Vista and Windows Desktop Search 3.0 on XP. In a nutshell, this preview is an update to the Windows Search indexer. In addition, they squashed some bugs and made improvements to performance, reliability, and recoverability features.

For Vista users, they can expect the following improvements (note that Windows Search 4.0 is an extension to the built-in searching capabilities in Vista):

• 33% faster query response time
• Remote Index Discovery has been extended for PC-to-PC Search which means finding information shared on a remote PC is easy
• Rollback Recovery has been implemented (meaning the search index will “roll back” to the last known good state in the event of an error)

For XP users, they can expect the following (note that Windows Search 4.0 is an extension to Windows Desktop Search for XP):

• XP users have the ability to search remote indexes for network shares
• Ability to host Vista-style preview handlers in the preview pane (when you’re doing a search, you can click on a file and see a preview in the preview pane)
• Faster previewer updates for XP

According to information on Microsoft’s website regarding Windows Search 4.0 for XP users, “The WS4 installation process automatically upgrades Windows Desktop Search 2.6 or later versions of Windows Search Technologies.” If you have an earlier version (prior to 2.6) installed, you’ll have to remove the application first before installing Windows Search 4.0.

Searching in both Vista, XP, and Windows Server 2003 has just gotten even better, thanks to Windows Search 4.0. If you’d like to download it, click here for the download links.

Sonos owners, like most nerds, have been patiently waiting for three things: jetpacks and flying cars to go mainstream and the Spotify music service to play on their beloved whole home wireless audio system. Of these, only one is being announced today. At this very moment, in this very time, upstart media darlings Spotify and Sonos have announced plans to wed… in Europe. Sorry Yanks. When the free 3.3 Sonos software update finally arrives at the end of September, new and existing Spotify Premium (£9.99 per month) customers living in Finland, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the UK will be able to stream millions of Spotify music tracks throughout their Sonos home network. The deal not only brings Spotify its first global hardware partner, it also brings European Sonos owners up to par with US netizens who’ve long enjoyed streaming subscription services from the likes of Rhapsody and Napster — the latter limited to just the UK and Germany in Europe. Click through the break for a demo and the full press release.

We’ll admit, we’d kinda figured that HTC’s venture into the seedy underworld of dumbphones with the introduction of the Smart earlier this year was a non-starter and that it’d quietly fade into the night before 2010 was out, but apparently not — at least, not if you ask AT&T. We’ve been slid a couple shots of a new handset from HTC for Ma Bell going by the model number F8181 (it’ll have a fancy name like “Bacon,” “Double Rainbow,” or “Nilay Patel” by the time it launches, obviously) that runs the Brew MP platform Qualcomm has been pushing this year for the sub-smartphone category; of course, it seems to us that smartphone hardware is getting cheap enough to push through nearly every price segment, but if we can expect this to be free on contract, we suppose there might be a market here. No word on dollars or dates just yet, but naturally, we’ll keep you in the loop.
