LG Lotus for the fashion conscious

Want to impress your girlfriends the next time you hang out with them? Well, instead of gushing over the latest handbag that recently arrived from Paris, why not stun your clique with the LG Lotus? This stunning clamshell handset is different from ordinary cell phones, as it has the touch of fashion designer Christian Siriano. Does that name ring a bell? It should, since he is the winner of the highly rated reality show “Project Runway” in season IV. This handset will debut along with a one-of-a-kind scarf that was specially designed to complement the LG Lotus at the New York City Fashion Week.

Being a Sprint exclusive phone, the LG Lotus is comes with a full QWERTY keyboard in a clamshell form factor, and has the honor of being the first batch of devices that offer One Click, a customizable user interface that makes everyday tasks such as text messaging, accessing the Internet, reading email, Sprint Navigation, Sprint TV and Sprint Music Store among others a snap to access. Other features include stereo Bluetooth connectivity, a 2 megapixel camera, a microSD memory card slot and external music controls.

Olympic themed flash drives

Being a Chinese, I can’t help but be proud of just how well the Beijing 2008 Olympics kicked off, what with the stunning opening ceremony and all. Lenovo, being a China-based company, no doubt threw in a fair bit of money into the $300 million opening extravaganza budget, and they are also behind the official Olympics USB flash drive range. Among them are the Olympic torch model that comes with 4GB of storage space, featuring the games logo at the center surrounded by swirling red clouds. Those who prefer something more animated might settle for the Mascot series that consists of half a dozen units at 4GB each as well. The third collection will see five medallions, although it is pretty hard to detect where the USB plug is hidden. Last but not least, there will only be ten available units of the extremely limited edition drive set that features 1GB titanium drives with a swiveling USB connector, all encased in a special mahogany box.

Sharewear concept dress

Walking home alone after a late night out, only to find that the path leading up to your home isn’t properly lighted? Why, that wouldn’t be a problem at all with the Sharewear concept dress by designer Di Mainstone. Sure, it makes you look rather ridiculous but there is the added advantage of having the area around you lighted. Not recommended during those summer months since bugs would probably be attracted to you (those are the least of your worries - what about weirdos and other psychopaths?). The Sharewear actually consists of a couple of dresses that are slotted together at the hip section. Definitely not practical in any sense, but it is interesting nonetheless.

Amosu loves them some diamonds

I know that Olympics fever is setting in since it is less than a fortnight before the greatest sporting event for the next four years will be held again, and everyone is gunning for gold. Or are they? I know for sure that Amosu won’t be part of the gold mentality herd, as they’re looking far beyond that precious metal, setting their sights on diamonds instead with the Amosu Ultimo Diamond. This handset will rightfully take its place as the most expensive iPhone in the world, retailing for $177,300 a pop. There are 1,179 dazzling reasons why this is so, and each reason is represented by a diamond for a total of 16.18 carats. Each cell phone will be hand crafted by master craftsmen, so you know you’ve arrived when you whip this out at the next social function.

Apple iPhone Bluetooth wireless headset gets dressed

Apple’s ordinary looking iPhone Bluetooth wireless headset has received the maestro’s touch, and in this case, the latter would be German jewelry designer Andi Monn. Andi has managed to bling up the iPhone’s earpiece with a range of striking metal covers, where all you need to do is slip the form-fitting metal sleeve over the body of your headset and you’re good to go. He has thrown in a specially designed magnet to keep the sleeve in place without affecting the electronics of the earpiece. Each €159 purchase will be accompanied by a leather cord that you can wear around your neck, in addition to a custom-embossed keyring for that added touch of exclusivity. You will be able to choose from .925 Sterling silver or high-grade brushed steel as the material of choice. Of course, if you have the extra dough to spare, you can always put in a discreet request to Andi Monn to use gold, platinum, white gold, or other precious metals.

ContinentalMobiles offer the Midas touch

Just how much money would make you happy? Apparently, the right answer is ,”Just one more dollar.” I guess the same applies to not only money but other precious things in life such as treasured possessions and jewelry. The marriage of technology and jewelry isn’t new, but it amazes me that there are people who would actually fork out insane amounts of money to pick up a gold covered and diamond studded cell phone. ContinentalMobiles.com caters for such a market, offering a bunch of handsets and iPods that feature gold, white gold, rose gold or diamond enhancements. All the cell phones available are already unlocked, and each purchase comes with a pair of white gloves to prevent you from smudging it. Not too practical, but great for earning bragging rights. Prices start from £1,499 for the phones and £599 upwards for iPods.

Asics Gel Lyte III changes color

So you love a particular pair of shoes and the different colors it comes in, but have only enough money to bring home a single pair. What are you to do? Keep your fingers crossed and hope that the Asics Gel Lyte III technology will be exported onto other brands, as this pair of running shoes change color the moment they’re exposed to strong sunlight, changing from white to purple. Definitely an interesting novelty, not to mention Asics shoes being rather comfortable to wear no matter the condition. Mark August 23 on your calendar as that’s when the Asics Gel Lyte III will be available at retail stores.

LED dress for fashionistas

Don’t really know what to wear to the next cocktail party that is fast approaching this weekend? Well, why not settle for something alternative and spectacular at the same time with the LED dress? This unique and stylish piece of clothing was designed by Mary Huang, and has been dubbed “Rhyme & Reason”. It utilizes light as a material to create transformative fashions, causing people to pause and reflect on the change we see from day to night. I would imagine this being a very pretty shopping outfit, but as dusk falls and you go out to hail a cab, some drunken person on the streets might mistake you for being an angel, glow and all. Just in case you don’t feel like wearing this at night, you can always hang it up to turn it into a reading lamp. Neat!

Nokia N95 gets blinged…again

Nokia’s N95 cell phone is the flagship of the N-Series from the Finnish cell phone manufacturer for quite some time already, but as with time, the specifications within aren’t that hot any more these days. It lacks the fresh touch screen input found on the iPhone and a slew of other smartphones, but it still is able to pack more than a capable punch even until today with the rest of its features. Instead of livening up the innards, why not take a different route by sprucing up the outer section? This diamond-encrusted N95 from Continental Mobiles boasts a smooth Sterling silver front panel set with 4.42 carat of brilliant-cut, VS1 quality, naturally mined diamonds. The price to pay for such opulence would be £10,000.
