Pretty Gadgets

Want one of those lovely Apple iPhone’s but without the rather masculine black colors Apple currently provides when, let’s face it, only gold or pink will do? Read more…?

Can you tell we are obsessed with diamonds? Even better when those shiny beauties are placed in normally boring looking gadgets. Take for instance this way over the top 14K real gold USB drive which is, as Born Rich puts it, festooned with VS quality diamonds. Read more…?

You know how it is, a purse full of pictures that are old, dusty and wrinkly - and that’s just the family! Why bother with such old fashioned technology when you can keep people entertained for literally minutes with a digital keychain picture display. This pink beauty can hold a small but perfectly formed 35 digital pictures and is just $23. Read more…?

I’ve probably moaned before about the lack of really beautiful phones to arrive in the US, having lived in Europe for many years and being spoiled with an abundance of pink mobile devices. Read more…?

I spend most of my time outside America. Where carrying things like this, could get you in a bit of trouble with the Met. Not so in the lovely U S of A. If anything, handy little bottles of mace and pepperspray are considered absolute musts where personal safety is concerned. My mom wanted to send me something akin when I moved to Europe. If it’d been cute and shiny and from Pepperface, I may have let her. “Self defence that doesn’t compromise style or conveinence.” That’s the billing on the product page.

Get standard pretty-purple or go for a Prevention Purple™. For each of these models sold, Pepperface.com will contribute a dollar to support the National Center on Domestic & Sexual Violence. Best part? They’ve got a little number designed by Crabman himself. And Earl.

I really don’t know what to say about the iPhone. Except this: I want one. Now.

The gadget world has been all abuzz recently about this 3-n-1 little beauty due out sometime this summer. Maybe. (See Legal-ease Stuff).

Apple’s iPhone is this. A state of the art mobile phone, a widescreen iPod (for video and photos) with touch controls and an internet communications device with “desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching”.

If you’re interested in new and improved technical bits, google “iPhone” or go straight to Apple.

A funky design from otherwise prim and proper American designer Nicole Miller. The new cell phone case in lovely silk taffeta is as brightly colored as an Easter Egg and as Corseted as Ms Antoinette herself. The case measures 3.8″ x 2.2″ x 1.2″ making it suitable for a selection of different phones. I carry my iPod in it myself. So should you.

When I first moved to the Big Bad City I lived in fear of pickpockets. I never carried anything in my trousers, on my shoulder or on my back. I preferred instead to bundle it all in my arms like an overdressed vagrant. That was before the No Touch Alarm Card - a little promotional device you slip in your side pocket or handbag. I don’t use it, mind. I’ve learned to minimise and simplify. But back in the day, I would have been the first in line for the pickpocket alarm.

The No Touch Alarm Card is a personal safety alarm device. The credit card sized gadget has a built-in one sensor, which reacts to light and sounds an alarm when exposed to even a small amount of light. Place it in your pocket or bag alongside valuables and it sounds off if it’s about to be lost or lifted.

Fully customised designs for companies looking for a little extra publicity.

CNN is reporting that Apple announced on Monday a much faster iPhone that’s half the price of the current model. Problem is - there is STILL no pink or nice girly color model on the cards. While there is a white iPhone version available, it isn’t enough Steve Jobs!

The news is expected to address one of the biggest complaints about the hugely popular iPhone: That its Internet browsing is too slow. CEO Steve Jobs said the new iPhone, which is based on 3G technology, is 36% faster than top rival Nokia’s N95 smartphone.
As Fortune.com first reported, the new 8-gigabyte iPhone will cost $199 and a 16-gigabyte version will cost $299. Jobs says the new iPhone will be available worldwide starting July 11. It will allow up to six hours of Web browsing and five hours of talk time.

Jobs announced the 3G iPhone, which had been rumored for months, at the company’s annual World Wide Developers conference in San Francisco.

You’re still recovering from Christmas. Why blow the bank? Serve him breakfast in bed - stamped with this little reminder. If I weren’t cold and emotionally stunted…I would probably even try this. I mean, you’re not gonna find anything any cheaper. Know what I’m sayin???
