Cooliris has been a great way for users to shop the US Amazon.com store for a while now. But what about the rest of the world? They deserve to surf their favorite Amazon products in style too!

That’s why we’re introducing Amazon Localization. Now when users in Germany, France, the UK, and Canada open up Cooliris, they can browse their country’s regionalized version of Amazon on the 3D Wall! It’s all part of our effort to make sure that Cooliris brings you the media that matters most to you!

Sometimes it’s hard to find just the right gift. But this season, Cooliris is there to help you brainstorm that perfect holiday gift! Check out our Holiday Gift Ideas channel in our Discover feature to surf through hundreds of great products for your friends and family.

Shopping with Cooliris has never been easier. Now every product has the price and description right there from the get-go, allowing you to stream results even more quickly. No mouse-over or clicking necessary!

Cooliris is great for making a holiday wish list as well. You can flag favorite items while browsing, then review those favorites later and decide which ones you really want to buy.

So this holiday season, don’t trudge through the snow to get your shopping done. Make yourself a cup of hot cocoa, settle down in your favorite chair, and fire up Holiday Gift Ideas and Cooliris Shopping to find the perfect presents for the people you care about.

Version 1.9 adds a whole new dimension to Cooliris by allowing you to customize your experience. Introducing: Favorites and Preferences.

The Favorites feature lets you save the content you care about to a personal 3D Wall. The possibilities are endless: assemble performances from your favorite musicians into a slick and visually intense playlist, compile an entire season of your favorite show off of Hulu, or make a wall of all the most memorable moments with your friends and family. Faster, easier, and more cohesive than bookmarking disparate webpages, you’re able to put all of your media into a little corner of the web you can call your own. From the mundane to the esoteric to the exciting, Favorites makes sure you’ve got it where it counts.

Preferences adds customization to a core feature of the Cooliris experience: the 3D Wall itself. You can modify the background wallpaper, the speed of the wall scroll, as well as the angle at which they glide along its surface (ranging from a straight-on view with no tilt/pan to a full tilt/pan), the number of thumbnail rows, and the direction the wall scrolls when you sweep along it with your mouse.

Cooliris 1.9 also brings a number of other great new features to the table. Hulu Search allows you to search across today’s hottest TV shows and movies.

Internet Explorer users now have full Flash support: use Cooliris as a portal into a wide world of games and other fun Flash apps!

Users accustomed to using a multiple monitor setup no longer need to worry, as version 1.9 fully supports all the different configurations. In fact, version 1.9 is smoother and faster for everyone, with a whole range of under-the-hood performance enhancements and general bug fixes.

So give 1.9 a spin by downloading it here and explore a richer, customizable Cooliris experience!
