Thanks to a short storm over Hong Kong yesterday night and thanks to the easy flexibility of British Airways, I’m allowed to extend my stay in the Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou region for another few days for free! I hear that the Canton Fair is pretty big so I’m now on the train on my way to the Canton Fair! I’m going to be looking for MT6575 phones, RK3066 Tablets, more Boxchip innovation, see what people are doing with all the other chips, I think that fair is going on until April 19th, so I’ll video-blog there 2 days. I also have upwards 20 more videos from the HKTDC Electronics Fair and the China Sourcing Fair that I am going to post here in the hours and days to come.

Let me know in the comments or to my email charbax@gmail.com if you know of any awesome exhibitors and devices at the Canton Fair that you think that I should video-blog! Do you have any suggestions for things to do in the Guangzhou Canton Fair area? The name of a really good/cheap hotel in that area? You can also call me to my Zopo ZP100 MT6575 Dual-sim phone:

Good news: all my 10+ video files have been recovered by a hacker expert on the 3rd floor of the Wan Chai computer market in Hong Kong (hkd$1600), he says they used a lab to open up the SD card and do some type of operation on the card, about an hour later they had all the files ready to be transfered back to my storage. Thanks to everyone who posted suggestions in this and this thread for how I could have maybe done it myself!

I’m not using 32GB class10 Patriot SDHC cards bought in Fry’s Electronics again, and I am going to look at upgrading to a newer camcorder with a function to record to 2 SDXC cards at the same time.
