iPhone and Blackberry Get Dressed Up in Diamonds

Filed under: Gadgets

This is the fanciest case I've seen yet! Not just gold in color, this carbon fiber leather case is studded with forty-two diamonds (3.2 carats total) set in 18K gold. The diamonds are VVS1 clarity and H color making Case-mate's handcrafted Diamond Case very luxurious indeed. Limited quantities are available for $20,000 each. It certainly is quite the accessory for those that already have it all...or those that just need a little extra bling.

Projector Keyboard

More and more people are relying on portable media devices for everyday instead of desktop PCs, meaning that they have to rely on the tiny keyboards that are part of the interface of their PDA or cellphone. A standard computer keyboard would not be a practical accessory, no matter how much faster correspondence would become, but the Projector Keyboard can solve that problem. The keyboard is about the size of a small cellphone itself and projects a standard keyboard onto any flat surface, from the table at the coffee shop to a sidewalk at the park. It connects to your phone/PDA/laptop via Bluetooth and "watches" your fingers, transmitting the data back to the device you have it connected to. The red outline is visible even in bright lighting conditions and a charge allows for two hours of typing time. Price: £119 ($221).

New Hotel Luxury? No BlackBerries

It looks like the new luxury vacation might be one where they take away your little luxuries. At least, they'll take away things like your BlackBerry, which you might have considered to be a luxury item before you were answering e-mails 22 hours each day. Some hotels have instituted programs that allow guests to put their BlackBerries - sometimes dubbed "CrackBerries" for their addictive nature - into storage for the duration of their stay, thus ensuring that you have a chance to relax on your relaxing vacation.

Hotels like the Sheraton Chicago offer no charge for the service, though peace and quiet might actually be worth paying for.
