For HTC Google Phone Is a Dream

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:06:19 -0700

Now that the iPhone 3G is out, it is time to obsess about the next eagerly awaited device, the Google Phone. Now we know that Google isn’t building a device of its own (that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t), but it is much cooler to call it a Google Phone than say Android, which has a certain dweeb ring to it.

Over last few weeks there were reports that the device is delayed till 2009. These reports were followed by more reports saying the device would show up in September, ahead of its planned fourth quarter 2008 launch date. The New York Times is confirming some of the rumors, though the story is scant on greater details, and parts of the story have been reported in bits-and-pieces. Just to recap:

It will be made by HTC, well-known for making Windows Mobile phones.
It will be called Dream.
It is a smartphone with a full five-row keyboard and has a touch screen.
It will be sold by T-Mobile. No surprise then that it’s pursuing an Apple-imitating App store strategy.
Qualcomm is working with five other phone makers.

Sprint, another carrier who had signed up for this device, is absent and isn’t making any big announcements just yet. AT&T and Verizon are giving it the pass for now, too, it seems. The Google phone was announced in November 2007 after being a subject of intense speculation. Some developers have been increasingly frustrated with the Google Android platform.

I think it would be interesting to see what eventually ends up in the market. There is a video of the device and from the look of it, the device does look a tad clunky.

HTC isn’t quite well known for making phones that are sleek like the new iPhone. Its touch efforts with Windows Mobile are bearable at best, and not even close to the responsiveness of iPhone and Samsung Instinct.

Anyway, I hope Rich Miner, who is a keynote at Mobilize, our conference about the mobile web that is being held in San Francisco on September 18th, will shed some light on the issue and who knows, might actually show up with a real live one. OK, that is just wishful thinking on my part. (PS: Early bird ticket sale for the conference that saves you $200 ends today. Grab your tickets now.)

$15,000 Diamond-Studded iPhone Case!

Sat, 09 Aug 2008 16:13:34 -0700

If you couldn’t get more ridiculous, here’s the $15,000 diamond-studded iPhone case for all you uber-filthy-rich snobs who need to show off your wealth. Just make sure to keep it hidden from public view at all times if you don’t want thieves snatching your iPhone case. Better yet, protect it with your life, get a gun along with it. (if you live in America that is)

“This case is yet another step we are taking to help the Noreve brand become one of the most unique and recognized case manufacturers in the world,” said Sam Brust, vice president of sales for NoreveUSA. “We look forward to working with additional types of precious stones in our future designs.” The case is available in the color of your choice for precisely $14,990.

$21,000 Wheel Speakers!

Sat, 09 Aug 2008 11:12:51 -0700

Yes, this $21,000 wheel-like speakers will blow you off as I would never pay that much for speakers.

Unless they mass-produce this and bring the price down around $210 not $21K, it will remain in the hands of uber-rich snobs who rather throw away money on gadgets like this.

Designed by Ron Arad and Frances Pellisari for Austria’s Viteo, the Freewheeler produces high quality stereo sound indoors or out. The speaker measures in at about 22.8″ tall x 9.8″ wide, making it just about the same diameter as the tires on a Mazda MX-5 Miata (and about 2x as thick).
