Literally. You can now buy an iPhone coated completely out of Platinum – which incidentally is my favorite metal. Ahem. Anyway, the purpose of this Platinum iPhone is purely for decadence. And it is two weeks before it is the time to be jolly, traa la la la la la la la la….so, anyone keen on forking up $2230 for a platinum coated iPhone?

Nevermind that it will scratch, it will still work anyway. Pffttt…

This is one stocking stuffer you will want to think for a longg time before buying. Fo’shure.

You guys…. this black hole phone bag is a badass bag that sucks all your phone’s signal so you will never ever receive a phone call again. As long as you keep the phone in the bag, that is. What is it for? Well, for people who are too dumb to turn off their phone of course.

If you’re in an important meeting, just press the button and turn the damn thing off. Why would ANYONE invest in a black hole bag unless the signals are some super ultra rays that will turn your phone on at a flash? Another useful invention for the useless, only $12.99.

This phone is gold plated and has little squares on it so that its user could customize patterns on it. While I resent Gizmodo for saying that teenage females are the only ones who will actually spend the time sticking stuff on their cells to create hearts, stars and what not….I have to agree that the idea of this phone is a showcase of lower intelligence to come in our next generation.

Product from Yanko, if you feel like you need to have something as “cool” as this ……

At a glance, it didn’t look like a phone at all. It looked more is like a monitor or a tablet or a GPS system for your car. Well, the Hitachi’s W53H Phone is equipped with a GPS system and it is for your car. This is not one of Hitachi’s first GPS phone, in fact they have had many models before as well but this latest model is made to look good in your car with a big screen (pic above has a screen size of 2.8inch, other sizes available), 2.0MP camera, a microSD slot, and a 1seg TV receiver. Word has it you can watch TV with this baby but I don’t think it’s advisable if you’re driving. Currently, there is no price tag on this GPS phone yet. It will only be available in Japan for now too :)

No it’s not a phone for mice. It’s a dual purpose phone that Sony has come up with it. INGENIUS i tell you. Who wouldn’t want a computer mouse that is also a phone?? It’s the most decent idea since sliced bread!

This phone is only a available in Japan so people like me who are not in Japan can kiss my big bottom about ever getting one. *sulks*

Let me tell you a bit more about the phone. It’s actually a Skype phone, not a cellphone with GPS, digital camera and what not. It makes more sense that way cos otherwise who would want to buy this cellphone that acts as a mouse? So yes, it’s a Skype phone that transform into a mouse and into a phone again at a flip.

Say AYE! to Sony Mouse Phone.

This is probably quite useful. The Discovery Message Magnet is something every busy family should have because what if you have a message and you won’t be home to tell your Mom or your sister or something? Like “Mom, I stained your favorite blouse, I’m sorry” or “Katie, I killed the cat at the drive way today, I’m sorry” or “Grandma, I got you your alzheimer’s meds it’s on the counter” – important stuff like that.

It records messages for up to 10 seconds so you have to make it short and sweet. And since it’s magnetic you can leave it on the fridge or anywhere that is magnetable. But the point is, you want poeple to see it so they can utilize it.

Anyhow, this gadget is made in China and will be available in the Discovery Store by June 2007. Price is only $19.99.

…because really, Music is Life. And anything to endorse listening to music easier is Love to me baby. This Tune Phones is just headphones with in-built MP3 player that can hold up to 512MB of songs. Not much but hey, think about it – you don’t need to worry about dropping your iPod or MP3 Players. All you need is hook the headphones on your ears with your favorite albums and you’re done!

Now, I have always prefered headphones like that than the plugins cos they keeps slipping off my ear with the slightest tug. BROWNIE POINTS for Tune Phones. And at 2.2ounces only, you won’t even remember having them on after a while. Life sure is sweet when music starts playings all around you :) They run 8 hours after a charge and it costs $75 bucks. Hey, i’d buy it. But mark my word, if this is a hit, it won’t be long before you find a Tune Phones with a higher memory capacity.

Navigation units are not uncommon in US vehicles. Many of their cars, american and internationally made have GPS system in it. You know that deep, cold female voice that warns you to take the next right turn a million times before you reach the turn? Yea. So Panasonic is trying to break into the market, first time, with its in-car navigation unit.

Looking to be the “leader in the U.S. mobile navigation market, Panasonic launched Strada CN-NVD905U. The unit offers a range of entertainment such as DVD players, MP3 CD playback, a 30 Gig HD, iPod video compatibility, a choice of satellite stations as well as antennas and tuners to go with it. It’s looking pretty impressive. It costs $1,800 and needs a double DIN slot, which is somewhat a minus for Panasonic as they have competitors like Pioneer, TomToms and Garmin to go against. They have to make it friendlier to more vehicles if they wanna be the leader in US mobile navigation.

LG KE850 Prada

When the iPhone first came out to wow everyone, you didn’t think it’d be the end of it, did you? Well, no, you’re right, it’s not the end because words has it LG Prada is making its debut in 3 weeks time. The phone looks like iPhone but it’s no iPhone, let me tell you that. It has a touch screen just like the iPhone but it doesn’t have smartphone capabilities and there’s no QWERTY screen keyboard.

Perhaps the only thing it shares with the iPhone is it’s large touch screen. I wouldn’t compare the quality of the pix that comes out of it yet but I guess we’ll see. The price for the LG Prada is lower than the iPhone, naturally, thus making this phone potentially popular with those who likes the iPhone but can’t really afford spending that money on a phone knowing that those functions won’t be used half the time unless you’re an Apply fanboy like him..:)

The LG Prada is 2.99 oz and 0.47 inches thin. It’s a still a pretty compact phone if you ask me. The two things that will appeal to people are:

1) It looks like an iPhone
2) It’s cheaper than the iPhone x3

The two types of person who will be most likely to buy the LG Prada:
1) People who likes the iPhone look but want a simpler more affordable phone
2) People like Paris Hilton, who thinks Brandedness = AWESOME.

Here’s the very thing that every Star Wars fan is waiting for – a skype phone in the shape of a light sabre. The very thing is the latest from Nikko Japan. The phone uses a USB point to plug itself into your computer and from there, you will use it like a receiver, except that it’s way cooler because it goes zing! just like a real light sabre.

Anyhow, the price for this ultimate geekdom gadget is not for the little ones, anakin would have to be grown up to play this baby because it’s perhaps worth $2500. I am pretty sure all the star wars fan (ones who can afford it) will be harping about having one in their bedroom and one in their handy pouch.

May the force be with you.
