That Bad Bitch

I love gadgets. I love phones, cameras, even kitchen gadgets. However, for some reason I’m hopelessly attached to my ancient phone. Ancient compared to the iPhone that is. I almost always lose my phone. As I write this, I have no idea where it is (though I think I left it in the bathroom this morning). My logic? Why should I spend a fortune on something that will either be stolen, get lost or accidentally fall in the toilet?

Over the past few days, we’ve heard quite a bit about Rape-aXe, the condom with ‘teeth’. I absolutely hate rapists and personally think the only punishment for them is castration. With the entrance of Rape-aXe into the market, I wonder just how much it will do to deter rapists.

I’m a nut for pretty phones. But there’s a limit to how much I’m willing to part with. The phone in the picture above is a creation of a company called Vertu. Vertu is a British-based manufacturer and retailer of luxury mobile phones. The company is an independently run, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Finnish mobile phone manufacturer Nokia. Their aim is to make us think of phones as…well, not just phones. Your phone should make a fashion statement. Something like your jewelry. Of course the cost is based on peronalization to your taste.

For all you label whores (and I mean that in the nicest possible way), Versace has teamed up with Modelabs to bring you a luxury mobile phone – The Versace Unique. I’m totally in love with the purple version. I think it’s purrty Specs and more pics after the break.

Hermes and Leica have teamed up to release a limited edition Leica M7 camera. Only 200 units will be made; 100 in orange and 100 in etoupe calfskin leather. On top of that, your purchase includes a Leica SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH wide-angle lens, a matching classic round lens hood, a LEICAVIT M rapid winder and a leather carrying strap, and will arrive at your doorstep in a linen-covered, silk-lined box. Pricing is rumoured to be at around $14,000 USD and should start hitting UK stores in December.
