Most Expensive Mobile Phone in the World-GoldVish Le Million

Every mobile phoneenthusiast has heard of the phone LeMillion. Even Vertu is like, cheap stuff in front of this phone. This phone is ultimate in the category of luxurious mobile phones. And when everybody around the world was speculating, which is the costliest mobile handset in the world, Guinness Book of World Records have come out with its verdict, which nobody can challenge (given Guinness’ reputation and genuine parameters). The LeMillion is now officially the world’s costliest mobile handset anybody will buy.

For starters, the phone is 18K White Gold studded with 120 carats of VVS-1 Grade diamonds. GoldVish, a well-known premium mobile phones manufacturer, manufactures this phone. By the way GoldVish opened a flagship store in Geneva, which is the epicenter of premium Watch and Jewellery industry. Coming back to this expensive baby, it is Bluetooth enabled, 2GB memory, MP3, digital camera, Worldwide FM Radio. So this one is beauty with brains, a rare combination, I must say. The price of the phone is just above $1 Million…did you faint??

Most Expensive iphone in the world

There are some people in this bad world, who, if given a choice between a high-end premium phone and an apartment in a big city, will buy the phone. A designer and jewelery maker from the beautiful country of Austria has come out with an iPhone for people who can go to any limit to buy a phone that is not high on functionality, but is certainly high on the bling bling side. The cost of this iPhone is $176,400 but what makes it so expensive then? This blingy touch screen gadget has 318 diamonds, with 138 of them are princess cut and the rest of the diamonds are brilliant cut. These 17.75 carats of diamonds are set into 18k white gold around the rim. I don’t think so anybody will use this phone much. If you ask me, I would prefer buying a good car and a Nokia N95 8GB with that much money.

LG launches Prada II teaser site, matching Bluetooth watch

Not that it wasn't official already or anything, but nothing demonstrates dedication to a product like an exclusive home on the web. Yep, LG has just launched a standalone microsite for the altogether sexy Prada II, and while you already know about the specs -- HSDPA, WiFi, 5-megapixel camera, 3-inch 400 x 240 pixel capacitive multi-touch display and quad-band GSM connectivity -- you probably weren't aware of the matching Prada Link Bluetooth watch. As you'd expect, the timepiece syncs with your Prada II and shows your incoming calls / texts, and we'll go out on a limb and presume that it tells time, too. Sadly, the tidbits we're most interested in (a release date and pricing) aren't clearly available on the site, but we'll be refreshing like madmen hoping for that to change.

HP Multi-Touch TouchSmart tx2

While HP mistakenly claims that its sparkly new (but previously rumored) TouchSmart tx2 is the world's first multi-touch consumer notebook, we're still decidedly stoked about this here convertible tablet. Boasting a 12.1-inch swivel display (LED-backlit) that's just dying to have your prints all over it, the tx2 will come loaded with Windows Vista, a bezel-mounted fingerprint reader, integrated webcam with microphone, Bluetooth / WiFi, stereo speakers, a 5-in-1 multicard reader and a LightScribe SuperMulti DVD burner. HP's also delivering the oh-so-stylish Reaction Imprint exterior, an AMD Turion X2 dual-core processor, the firm's own MediaSmart 2.0 software, a VGA output, Ethernet and at least one USB port from the looks of things. You're supposed to be able to add one of these to your digital shopping cart right now via HP's own webstore or Amazon.com, but both links currently lead to sections of the intarwebz you don't ever, ever want to see. Hold tight -- we've a feeling HP will be getting really official with this one momentarily. Check Laptop's hands-on with the unit in the video after the break.

Dospara doles out Atom-powered Prime Note Cartina UM netbook

It's been forever and a day since we heard from Dospara, but as it typically does, it's just hanging around and waiting to see what catches on before it dives in. Case in point: here we have the Prime Note Cartina UM, an 8.9-inch netbook that's hitting alongside the second and third iteration of everyone else's. You could likely guess the specifications in your sleep, but we'll humor you anyway; we've got a 1.6GHz Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 120GB hard drive, a 1,024 x 600 panel, 802.11b/g WiFi, a battery good for two hours and a mysterious Linux build pre-installed. You won't find an optical drive bundled in, but you will find a ¥39,980 ($413) price tag should you venture over to Japan.

ASUS 15.6-inch touchscreen Eee Tops launching tomorrow -- $499?

Can you feel it? That dull sense of ennui isn't the result of the diminished hours of daylight, oh no, it's the sensation of the Eee Top's imminent launch in Taipei. ASUS has a news conference scheduled for Thursday to out the ET1602 and ET1603 XP PCs into the wonderfully erect world of all-in-ones. Something we've been expecting since January of this year when we first heard about ASUS' Eee branding promiscuity. We're still looking at 15.6-inches of touchscreen LCD, a 160GB hard disk, 802.11n WiFi, a pair of 4-watt speakers, and 1.3 megapixel webcam all propped up by a tepid 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor -- a CPU that ASUS knows a thing or two about. The ET1603 packs a better ATI HD3450 graphics card and battery for 4.4-kilograms (9.7-pounds) of luggable PC. We'll have to wait for the pricing and country details but we can speculate that it'll arrive in the US pronto after seeing its wireless (EK-C2) keyboard slip through the FCC yesterday. Could be a holiday winner if it hits for the$499 price rumored way back when.
