After fragrance, sunglasses, watches and handbags, now fashion designers want to add mobile phones to the 2008 list of fashion must-haves with a series of launches to cash in on a multimillion-pound market. The The Independent reports.
“Dior and Swarovski will be the latest luxury giants to unveil handsets next year, while Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer is expected to be the first timepiece maker to release one early next summer.
… Experts predict that in the next three years non-traditional brands, including fashion designers, will grab 20 per cent of the global market, selling around 200 million handsets a year.
Andrew Harrison, UK chief executive of Carphone Warehouse, said his customers were increasingly buying more than one handset, with around a fifth owning two or more. “These handsets have different uses: business, going out or even special occasions. We expect this trend to continue.” he added.
… Analysts believe fashion and mobiles make perfect bedfellows because with a new product every three months, the handset industry is one of the few able to keep pace with the world of fashion.

Meizu M8 not an iPhone clone after all? Has three buttons instead of one
Posted on 2007 under iPhone | No Comment30 Dec
File this under “yeah, right” but apparently the world’s most known iPhone clone will sport three, instead of a single button. According to the image above which is said to be the back of Meizu’s latest prototype, the M8 may distance itself from Apple’s handset. And while we’ve now idea how will this reflect in the final device design, a Meizu fan made that rendering in the corner of the image giving us a hint what could Chinese manufacturer do with three buttons.
Finally, it’s fair to say we welcome Meizu’s changes and are also hoping they will be tweaking their interface even more so they don’t get slammed by Apple’s legal department. We’ll see…

I’m sure any one who has lost his/her cell phone for any damn situation or carelessness would know the real worth of the gadget that I’m going to talk about next. The reference here is to the Sim Card Backup Gadget.
Yes,you got that right, this tiny gadget is the answer to your numerous unheard desires that you made when you lost your cell and together with which went all your contacts and information.
But, the ‘cell-losing’ story will not be this tragic anymore for the Sim card Backup gadget will atleast keep your simcard info safe. This device with 16kb of storage (enough for 500 contacts) can replicate your contacts on another sim card so that you always have a full proof backup plan.
Hmm….I am ready to bear any cost for this. What do you say?
Price: $14.99

Have Apple’s iPhone or any S60 powered Nokia made in the past few years? Well congratulations, you have an ARM processor in your pocket. With the first chips rolling off the line in 1985, Dr. Steve Furber had no idea his little architecture would pave the way for the millions of cellphones and other small portable electronics that get sold every week. Furber is being honors by the BBC this new year for his original ARM equipped device called the BBC Microcomputer.
Funny thing is, the processing power in your pocket now would have been considered a supercomputer back in ‘85. Steve recognizes this and says “the changes that we have seen over the last 30 years are small compared to what we will see in the next 30.”
I couldn’t agree with him more.
