Are you into gadgets?

[slowcoach]

Here is a Link (http://www.dealextreme.com/) to a site in Hong Kong which do free airmail shipping although the shipping cost is obviously added to the prices, heavy items don't offer much in the way of savings but most of the items are relatively light and could cost you less than normal UK shipping charges alone.
A friend tried them out ordering some ipod earphones for US$ 7.00, they came in 2 weeks and he was really pleased with them. Even if you don't order anything it is quite interesting viewing all the products.

Mucho reps! Just got a Bluetooth 2 usb adaptor (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11866) for £1.73!!

[Gary L]

Used these people in the past. last thing I bought was a couple of LED torches.

[joglynne]

I have just started to have a browse around the site and already earmarked half a dozen items. It certainly stocks eclectic range of products.

Thanks for the link slowcoach.

[MovedGoalPosts]

Just be careful that you don't get caught with extra customs applied tax for imports. Not sure what the threshold is.

If it's the one I think it is Cobby I paid £11+ for the same one late last year and it's made by Belkin.

Well my shopping basket with all the items so far is under £25 so I should be OK. :)

I note that they have a R4 for the DSi :D

Here is a Link (http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageLibrary_ShowContent&propertyType=document&id=HMCE_PROD1_028770) to current import taxes threshold, please read all the page.

As the shipping is included all you would have to do is make separate purchases to ensure you kept within the threshold, providing no single item took you over.

as far as I am aware they only work with existing .nds roms and not DSI roms although I do not think they exist yet

[CHiLL]

I'm sure if you bought things from this (http://www.dealextreme.com/products.dx/category.829) page of that site, then you might run into some trouble importing it...

[barby81]

I've used these guys before. Postage takes a while but you can get some really great gems at a fraction of the price. ;)

Interesting link

[AbyssUnderground]

Cheers for this link, some nice stuff at a fraction of the price I've seen them in the UK for!

I'm looking for a Super Bright Flashlight (Mini one & a Big one). But with so many to pick from & I dont understand whats BRIGHTER or Better on their site, any ideas??

I have 2 Romisen RC-G2 (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3607)
Uses 1 AA battery, good throw of white light.
very strong metal casing. you would have to read the reviews to get an idea of which one's best.

[Lord Nikon]

I have a 4 D-cell Maglite with LED bulb. 'nuff said.

Looks nice

Just Googled it, thats a MONSTER of a Light.


Can anyone recommend any other Flash Light thats BRIGHT & Small (not like Lord Nikon's lol). Like you see Police use in TheBill or in 24? Pocket size but GREAT Light Beam....

I have the 1million candle lights, but needed a small pocket thing.

[Gary L]

There's some more lights here (http://www.ledshoppe.com)

[Lord Nikon]

try the Maglite Solitaire LED or the Mini Mag LED, as well as the LED bulb it can be changed out to a halogen bulb at the expense of battery life, plus the beam can be focussed and even the LED bulb is visible for over a mile.

[Hugh]

Yup, me too.

I keep one by the bed in case of intruders (I was using it to see who it was, honest your honour...;)), and one in the garage.

[Turkey Machine]

Maglites are awesome. I know a few Greenbelt stewards who have those, a couple have 6 D-cell Maglites, which would be classed as an offensive weapon if used on the streets! I'm on the lookout for one of them 4 cell Maglites with the LEDs. Do you get good battery life out of it?

I should point out that there are extensions for those that pump them out to an 8 D-cell Maglite, which is definitely overkill and definitely illegal!

[alferret]

need to get some of these

Had it for about 2 years, use it regularly, original energizer batteries that came with it. need I say more?

by the way you can get the LED bulb replacement to change the standard maglite to the LED version online pretty cheap.

The Fenix torches are superb. Small size and a nice bright beam that goes a fair distance.

Still waiting a month after ordering for delivery... :(

[AbyssUnderground]

Could have had your order stopped at customs? Sometimes happens. I ordered from there the other day, so I'm not expecting it too soon.

My order was delivered over a week ago. It came in 2 parcels a day apart.

No, tracking order says Processing - Contact us for updates.

On a (slightly) related note. Linky (http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/06/nec-widescreen-display/)

"NEC’s latest desktop display is a curved beauty of Amazonian proportions. The 43-inch ultrascreen desktop display, called NEC CRV43 , has a 10,000: 1 contrast radio and a 2880 x 900 double WXGA native resolution.
The display provides a wider field of view for its users, said NEC. “It has a greater dynamic range with its resolution and 32:10 aspect ratio,” said NEC in a statement. The display claims super-fast response time of 0.02 milliseconds"

Wow! 2880 x 900 peripheral vision! That'll come in handy...

Oh I think there's a possibility it could cope. :D

On a cheaper note. If any one wants a cheap design tablet I can recommend the one I picked up from Asda this morning. On sale at £15 the Trust Slimline Design Tablet TB 5300 is worth trying out. I'm having great fun putting it through its paces. :)
