Nokia has expanded its 8800 Arte series of upper class mobile handsets with the launch of the 8800 Carbon Arte.

As you might have guessed, the handsets are engineered from carbon fibre, titanium, polished glass, and stainless steel.

While many people are trying to carry lighter mobile devices so they’re not weighed down by them all day, Nokia is making quite an issue of the “impressive weight” of the phone. Yes, I’d love to pay loads of money for a heavy phone…

Utterly pointless, totally useless 'Cybertek Wings'… yours for $1,000!

Very rarely am I stumped for an opinion on a product, but this little baby has got me stumped like a pirate with two wooden legs.

Maybe i should just start by describing the thing: They’re wings that are made of metal that you can wear. They are called: Cybertek Wings. And what you do with them… well, that’s where i’m stumped.

As far as i can work out, you simply strap them to your back and press a little switch and – ‘phwoom’ – out pop the robo-wings. Ta-da! Brilliant. There you are, standing in your living room, pleased as punch, with your Cybertek Wings all stretched out in the breeze. Glorious… but now what? They won’t make you fly. They won’t let you glide. They don’t.. do.. anything. Well, except go ‘phwoom’ at the touch of a button, and even then it only goes ‘phwoom’ seven times. After that, you have to take them off and build the air pressure back up before resuming your ‘phwoom’ing.

The "Le Million" mobile phone probably isn't available on PAYG

Earlier today I wrote about an iPhone app for the wealthy called “I am rich“, and stupidly suggested that the iPhone is the phone that rich people would go for. I’m now preparing to eat my words.

It turns out that luxury communications firm Goldvish have come up with “Le Million”… a million dollar mobile phone, which qualifies it as the world record for the most expensive mobile phone in the world…
