Hasta La Gadget!

Good news, fellow Brits! Samsung has just announced that it’ll be shipping its two 6-inch, stylus-donning e-readers — the slide-out E60 and the QWERTY-packing E61 — to the UK in July, with the former to be priced at £299.99 ($443) and the latter’s to be confirmed. Sadly, no news on who’ll be delivering the ebooks over these devices’ WiFi, but we’re promised an announcement in a fortnight. For now, gorge yourselves on our latest hands-on photos.

Just last week we introduced you to BeeMP3, a search engine for music, and then a few weeks before that we showed you a RapidShare search engine. Now wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to combine the features of both sites into one convenient search engine?

As it turns out there is such a site, and it’s called FilesTube. It scours the Internet looking for all different types of files, and even includes downloads from RapidShare.com, MegaUpload.com, YouSendIt.com, SaveFile.com, and FileFront.com. The site is definitely not limited to results from those sites alone though, and performing a search for a file will prove that since you can always see the direct URL from which the file is hosted.

If you’re searching for music you’ll even have the luxury of using a built-in music player that lets you listen to a song before you even download it:

You can register for an account if you would like to receive a few additional features, such as download history tracking and MP3 music playlists. You’ll also be able to embed a music player with songs on your own site, but have some consideration since other websites will be the ones hosting the files.

And be sure to take advantage of the built-in filetype search filter located next to the search box. If you’re trying to find a specific type of media, such as videos or music, it will greatly help filter through your results.

Thanks for the tip Jason!

Ah, there it is, UK’s first-ever Best Buy store, officially born at 7am local time yesterday. Naturally, we had to be there to witness such magical moment for Britain’s consumer tech market — the Brits had longed for an injection of energy and professionalism to the seemingly slacking chain stores. Many would agree that DSGi’s two main brands — Currys and PC World — are on the naughty list, even after their recent relaunch. From what we saw today, it looks like Best Buy’s already heading in the right direction. Let’s start with the front-line employees. Most of these Blueshirts provided genuine technical answers rather than bluffing their way out, plus we were given product recommendations with no desperate sales pitch as commonly seen in other stores. When we revealed our identity to one of the sales reps, he confirmed that they were trained to not force random products onto customers — quite the opposite culture to his old days at DSGi (assuming he was telling the truth). We sure did appreciate this new-found shopping freedom in gadget stores, but did the other customers feel the same way? Find out what we heard after the break.

Vista’s Flip3D is one of the most notable features, and something you frequently see in demonstrations of the operating system. It presents a unique way to flip between your open applications, and for the longest time I didn’t think it would ever make me more productive. I was proven wrong when Logitech launched a new version of their SetPoint software that gave their mice a quick way to launch Flip3D without needing a keyboard shortcut.

I ran into a problem, however, when I was using my laptop’s Touchpad mouse which didn’t have such capabilities. It left me yearning for a way to launch Flip3D from my Touchpad so that I wouldn’t have to touch the keyboard, and after thinking about it for a minute I got an idea! Using AutoHotKey I could doing something similar to my middle-click Touchpad script.

Note: Vista is required for this to work. It is not a Flip3D clone or anything of that nature!

So what do you need to get it working? Download Mouse Flip3D and run it. There’s nothing to install, and the only indication of it running will be a Vista-like Orb in the System Tray. Anytime you press and hold the left mouse button, and then press the right mouse button you should see Flip3D come up:

If you want the program to start with Vista just copy it into your Startup folder, and you should be all set! Here are a few pointers on why this is great and how exactly the script works:

• One of the reasons that I never thought Flip3D was productive was because of how much time it takes to shuffle through all of the windows to find the one you want. With the mouse that is obsolete because you can click on any of the windows to bring it to the front! Go ahead and try it, and you’ll see just how fast it really is.
• If you decide that you still want to flip through the windows just use the scroll wheel on your mouse or Touchpad. Alternatively you can hit the Tab key to shuffle through the windows, and use Enter key to select the foremost application.
• You may not have realized it, but there are two different ways that you can launch Flip3D from the keyboard. The WinKey+Tab is the standard way that most people know about, but you can also launch it using Ctrl+WinKey+Tab. The difference between the two is that using the Control key makes Flip3D remain open until you click on one of the windows. That’s what we ended up using for the script. For the code junkies out there here is the entire AutoHotKey script for launching Flip3D with the mouse:
  

  ~LButton & RButton::send, {lwin down}{lctrl down}{tab}{lwin up}{lctrl up}

Some mouse gestures that you use, such as navigating forward in Opera, may not work because of the overlapping shortcut that is used for this script. Personally I’d rather have Flip3D at my finger tips than anything else, so I was willing to sacrifice that mouse shortcut.

You may have already seen the large range of gadgets — both old and new — in Hong Kong, but the small presence of KIRFs there does make things a tad less exciting. Want more? Turns out all you need to do is grab a Chinese visa (or a border pass if you’re a Hong Kong or Macau resident), take a train ride up north and you’ll reach Shenzhen for all the KIRFs you’ve ever wanted. In this second part of our China tour series, we’ll be showing you around the Luohu Commercial City and the Huaqiangbei gadget heaven — don’t worry, there are still many genuine products there for you little angels. Oh, and we also popped into a Meizu store for some hands-on time with the notorious M8. Enjoy.
