Wan Chai Wednesdays: Hitting the Wan Chai Computer Centre for Gadget Goodness
So what cool stuff does Wan Chai Computer Centre have to offer?
Starting today we’re introducing a semi-regular new feature we’re calling Wan Chai Wednesdays, nope this is not about trolling Neptune’s or trying to find the new Fenwick’s – this is about one place in Wan Chai, a virtual mecca for the geek crowd! Yes, we’re talking about the Wan Chai Computer Centre.
We took a gander around the Wan Chai Computer Centre this week to see what cool stuff we could find and these were a few things that caught our proverbial tech third eye.
P-Flip
The P-Flip is a handy iPhone/iTouch/iPod portable docking station that lets you re-charge and sync your “i” device. The thing that really sells this device from Dexim is the multi-functionality of the P-Flip, not only does it fold up to save space it can also act as a back-up battery for when your “i” device is running low on juice and enables you to display your device either vertically or horizontally.
Dexim also has a PFlip Clock App that is free for download at the Apple Store that will turn you “i” device into a desktop digital clock.
The P-Flip can be bought separately or you can get the 3 in 1 or 7 in 1 Bundle Pack. The 3 in 1 comes with a Laser-Etched PC case for iPhone 3GS/3G and crystal case for iPod touch 3G/2G. The 7 in 1 bundle included a USB car adapter and Anti-slip car PAD as well as the above mention cases.
You can find the P-Flip at Vertex Pro Limited (Wanchai) Shop 127, Tel: 2259 9193. At present they only have the 3 in 1 bundle for HK$498. If you’re only interested in getting the P-Flip and not the bundled versions VertexPro has a sister shop, Vertex Technology Co., Ltd. (Causeway Bay) that might have it. They are located at Room 1106-1110, 11/f, Windsor House, 311 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay, Tel: 2576 4869.

Mini Cooper Flash Drive
For the Mini Cooper afficiando this USB Flash drive from ZeroBasic can not only store all your important files but can also be a cool desktop decoration. The licensed Mini Cooper replica features transparent windows, rotatable wheels, and illuminating headlights that will delight any Mini Cooper fan. Unfortunately you have to provide your own engine sounds “Vroom, Vroom.”
The flash drives come in four different colors and bonnet stripes. Memory size ranges from 1GB to 4GB. We found some 4GB versions that had the Union Jack on the car top at DG Life Style Store (shop 230) for HK$438.
