Limited Edition Designer iPod touch
Story posted on: February 15, 2008
If you think the standard iPod touch isn't a good enough present for the other half in your life, then this limited edition designer iPod touch could potentially change your mind. Selfridges is carrying this unique iPod line, featuring hundreds of black Swarovski crystals complete with a special diamond ring design encrusted with 24k gold coated and silver crystals. What a way to propose, eh? You could include her favorite songs into the playlist while you pop the question. Unfortunately, you will have to pay through your nose for this special edition iPod touch as it retails for £899 while the iPod nano is a wee bit cheaper for £749.

Story posted on: February 11, 2008
iLuv has just introduced its i80 series of earphones, ear clips and cases for the iPod and iPhone range, without forgetting about other portable media players as well. These new products have been fitted with crystal stones to give you that big daddy look although I think it might get a tad tardy when one goes overboard. The i83 crystal in-ear earphones comes with in-line volume control and an adjustable slider to provide optimal listening comfort while the i84 Crystal Ear Clips targets portable audio devices with a design that secures the ear clips in place. Both the i83 and i84 will retail for $39.99 apice, with black and silver color options. Well guys, you know what to do with Valentine's Day being around the corner.

NEC Pimps Up Laptops
Story posted on: February 05, 2008
NEC turns on the style by featuring laptops that come with Toshiko Kimura's drawings on them. It is actually a LaVie G Type L laptop that runs on an AMD processor, but never mind the specifications. After all, if you're one who is looking for something aesthetically pleasing without paying too much attention to the specifications, this new pimped up line will do very nicely. After all, NEC doesn't have the history and pedigree of killer laptops in the past so one can expect this to be a beautiful package that has enough to handle everyday word processing and Internet surfing.

Goldvish To Open In Geneva
Story posted on: February 04, 2008
It is well documented that plenty of rich (and famous - the two kind of go together always) folks often head to Switzerland and set up a home there as they don't have to pay the taxman a single cent from their earnings. Well, what better place for Goldvish to open their store than in Geneva, Switzerland? This boutique will be neighbors with famous watchmakers and jewelry designers right smack in the middle of the city. Guess if you are a Geneva resident with more than a cool million Euros to spare, there is always the cell phone from Goldvish's "Le Million" collection that is gold and diamond-studded, retailing for over €1.298 million.

Samsung Giorgio Armani in the flesh
Story posted on: January 08, 2008
[CES 2008] At long last, here we have the Samsung Giorgio Armani handset in the flesh. Just like the suits from Armani, the handset itself looks extremely understated yet elegant, coming in a glossy all-black color. It features the Samsung CROIX user interface, a full touchscreen display (that's the way to go these days it seems), a 3 megapixel camera and a microSD memory card slot to store all your photos and music inside. It comes clad in an Armani leather case so you can be sure to look stylish each time you whip this puppy out to answer a call. No idea on pricing, but as we stated last year, it will be released globally this year to discerning business folk.

Sony Ericsson Z555 phone
Story posted on: January 06, 2008
[CES 2008]
The Sony Ericsson Z555 handset wants to be stylish with its diamond-inspired design and bejeweled keypad when you open it up, but then again cheap substitutes make this look rather tacky as though it was a pre-teen girl trying to act 21, badly done make-up and all. It comes with Gesture Control that allows you to mute the phone or snooze the alarm simply by waving your hand over it. You will be able to pick up the Sony Ericsson Z555 for around $29 after operator rebate and subsidies.
- Gesture Control
- 1.3-megapixel camera
- Memory Stick Micro slot
- Tri-band EDGE
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Display themes that change with the season automatically
- Available in Dusted Rose and Diamond Black colors
