Chinavasion Bulletin: News, Products, FAQ’s and Android App Of The Week!

What’s been happening in the world of Chinavasion this week?

We’re busy battening down the hatches here in South China this week as the typhoon that smashed the Philippines approaches. It always seems that when they warn about them, it always ends up being a bit windy and rainy (I’m from England so this really is normality for me), but we never see armageddon-like scenes of roofs blown off or cars turned over. We shall see as typhoon Megi approaches…

Once again a Chinavasion product made waves on the internet this week.

The The Red Ferret Journal spotted our handy Multi-hub USB port which gives you an ubelieveable 24 ports of USB goodness!

If you have missed this week’s blogs, where have you been?! It’s been a good week for resellers. On Monday we published the ultimate guide on how to buy from Chinavasion. I was especially keen to get this one out there as my pet hate is websites that are over-complicated, tricky to use or not intuitive (hence my refusal to use Orkut and Youtube any more than is strictly necessary). In this blog we looked at how easy it really is to use Chinavasion.com.

Wednesday means mid-week blog and this week was a cracker for resellers using eBay! The eBay reseller’s guide to Auctiva. This clever service allows you to construct and launch professional eBay listings even if you’re a begginer. It makes the journey from confused to capable online reseller so very easy, so have a look and you can decide whether Auctiva is suitable for you.

 

Adrian’s Picks Of The Week

This week I’ve decided to deviate from the usual and choose two sweet gadgets. They’re both cheap enough to buy as a gift, but I thought they were both so cool I didn’t want to leave one out.

First I must recommend the
Worlds Smallest – HD Multimedia Player (2GB) [CVNZ-E142]. I thought this was cool because many people now have a TV capable of playing 1080p HD quality media, but they don’t have a HD service (such as HD satellite TV). Therefore they never benefit from this! Now you can simply download HD media, pop it on this tiny USB player and then watch them in their full HD glory on your nice, big TV screen instead of your laptop. Nice, and yours for less than US$35!

Secondly I remember having a chuckle at this bluetooth wireless headset, the
Blingmax – Bluetooth Wireless Headset [CVEC-B30]. You see them, don’t you? Boring suits walking along talking stocks and shares into their plain, black headsets. Well not you, Gangsta! Bring the bling to bluetooth with the Blingmax! Those aren’t real diamonds either (hard to believe I know), so it weighs in at less than US$10!

 

Remember, keep checking the new products page for the latest releases, especially if you’re reselling! 

 

 

 

 

 

Android App Of The Week

Winamp BetaHow would you like to sync all of your music on your computer’s Winamp desktop library to your Android phone automatically via WiFi (or USB)? Now you can with Winamp! Not only is it really convenient, this bad boy will play seemingly almost any type of file!

Winamp supports:

AAC, IT, MOD, NST, STM, AIF, ITZ, MP1, NSV, STZ, AIFF, KAR, MP2, OGG, ULT, AMF, M2V, MP3, OKT, FLAC, VLB, MP3, M3U, M3U8, PLS, ASF, M4A, MP4, PTM, WAV, AU, MDZ, MPEG, RMI, WMA, AVI, MID, MPG, S3M, WMV, CDA, MIDI, MTM, S3Z, XM, FAR, MIZ, NSA, SND, WEBM, FLV, M4V, MKV, SWF, W64, 669, VOC, B4S, ASX, WPL.

Winamp is already so popular that this can only be good news for so many people and although some features like gapless playback are absent, the developer is saying that more features are in development, so I’d expect it to improve further. You’ll need ‘Droid 2.1 or 2.2.

 

And Finally…

 

Yet another DJ-friendly product to close with. These days almost everyone seems to have one of Steve Jobs’ shining pods and of course a USB pen drive. Load your set on to these two items and you can mix them here, taking the strain out of your record bag. CD-J’s were hailed as the future, but even they are in trouble now…
