Hasta La Gadget!

We played devil’s advocate with Verizon’s $599 Galaxy Tab, but it looks like the T-Mobile version of Samsung’s Android 2.2 tablet is going to cost a Benjamin more — it’s ringing up at $699.99 right now at Amazon unsubsidized. If we were you, we’d wait and see what kind of deals can be had in-store come November 10th, but if you simply must have one immediately you’ll be able to use it with one of Magenta’s standard mobile broadband plans. $25 a month gets you 200MB with 10-cent-per-megabyte overage fees, whereas $40 buys you unlimited use with a 5GB speed cap, and you can purchase blocks of prepaid data an 100MB, 300MB and 1GB increments at the usual rates. It’s a bit of a shame we’re paying the price of a decent laptop for a seven-inch smartphone sans cellular calls… but you didn’t really need that rent money, right?

Heard of the FnacBook, Telecom Italia eBook or Thalia Oyo? It’s looking like they’re all one and the same — a Sagem product called the Binder with a six-inch SiPix capacitive e-paper touchscreen. It’s also got the standard accelerometer, 2GB of internal flash, a microSD card slot and support for ePub and PDF, but there’s one feature that sets it apart from the pack: a cellular modem that’ll give FnacBook buyers free 3G service a la the Amazon Kindle’s Whispernet. French carrier SFR is subsidizing that little venture, so it’s not part and parcel of buying into Sagem’s device, but if you find yourself holding onto a different rebrand we suppose you’ll still have 802.11 b/g WiFi for your Steig Larsson downloads. Fnac’s already taking preorders at €199 (about $277); devices ship November 10th. PR after the break.

In this week’s roundup of the best YouTube videos we could find, you get some incredible acrobatics, an unexpected time traveler, a Halloween thriller, and more. There’s even a YouTube video of a play that was made using YouTube videos and their music. How meta is that? Click the jump to see them all.

Over the last several months we’ve seen a lot of growth in the web-based office applications arena. Between Zoho and Google Docs, all kinds of features have been added which make using the applications even easier and more second nature. The team over at Google Docs has just gotten done adding yet more features to their suite of online apps, including offline capability for more of their applications.

Back on April 1st, we wrote about how Google had finally added offline capability to Google Docs. We said “finally” because Zoho had already been using Google Gears to take Zoho Writer offline. At the time, we wondered who would be first, Google or Zoho, to add offline support for either spreadsheets or presentations. The answer to that is Google. On Friday they made the announcement that they finished rolling out offline support for Google Docs and now they’ve moved on to Spreadsheets and Presentations. For now, it’s view-only offline access, but it’s a first step and can only mean editing will be soon to follow.

Another feature that they announced on Friday for Presentations is the option to include speaker notes (something you can do in PowerPoint) and YouTube videos. Those speaker notes can be printed so that you’ll be able to use them while giving your presentation, or you can have them appear in a separate window on your computer while you’re presenting, to read from.

If by chance using a YouTube video in your presentation would help you make a point, by all means, insert the video! Now you can insert multiple videos right onto your slides and then the videos can play while you’re making a presentation. Once again, PowerPoint has a similar feature. While you can’t insert YouTube videos, there is the option to insert a movie that you have saved on your computer. Just look for the “Insert Video” link at the top of your Google Docs Presentation page.

As you’ll see from the image above, once you click “Insert Video” a box will pop-up so that you can search YouTube for the video that you’re wanting to insert. Once you find the video, you’ll just click the box next to the video and click “Insert Video.” That’s all there is to it.

There has been at least one other known spamming trick with MyBlogLog, and now there’s another.  This time, the trick will get people to join your community without your knowledge in just one click. LoveDeep Wadhwa found this trick, and here’s how it would work:

1. Open your MyBlogLog Community page.
2. Right click on the thumbnail image of your website
3. Choose “Save Picture As”
4. Don’t actually save the image, instead copy the file name that appears in the “save as” dialog (a bunch of numbers).
5. Take the numeric part (first 12 characters) and place them in the following URL, replacing FILE_NAME with those numbers.

http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/join_conf.php?ref_id=FILE_NAME
&ref_method=s&ref_er=www.mybloglog.com/buzz/community/FILE_NAME/

After completing those steps, you’d have your spam URL ready to use.  Some people have been leaving messages on other communities saying something like “Nice Blog. Recently I’ve started my own blog community. Please check it out.” And by clicking that link, you’d automatically be added to their community without consent. [Warning, by clicking you will actually be added to the CyberNet Community] For this to work, the user would have to already be logged into their MyBlogLog account. 

Clearly, a confirmation page needs to be put in place, or LoveDeep suggests (MyBlogLog name: freakitude) that it should be session based. I’m sure plenty of people are playing around with this trick, and unsuspecting people are being added to communities left and right unknowingly.
