-The casing is made of 18 Carat Yellow Gold, White Gold and Rose Gold

-The border around the phone consists of 138 finely cut diamonds.

If this is how you think you should spend your lunch money, then eat up! While we see this as the epitome of excess, we understand it’s probably just right for some people. We call them “rappers.

Microsoft has had an conference call earlier today, and Steve Ballmer spoke about Windows Mobile as one of its 7 big businesses. According to Ballmer, Microsoft has been ramping up expenditure in the Windows Mobile segment over the last few years, and at $900 million per year, Windows Mobile is close to 4% of Microsoft’s operating expenditure and has 2000 employees (RIM has 2900). This still however leaves Windows Mobile as a “somewhat unprofitable” Microsoft business, and with Windows Mobile currently 3rd place in market share behind Symbian and RIM.

Ballmer re-affirmed his oft-repeated statement that Microsoft will not be making a Microsoft Phone, saying it was committed to the licensing model. There was however a plan to extend revenue-generating opportunities to services.

Sky introduce there new products Sky+ HD decoder at the low cost, its only £49 . It could not hassle on your part having this Gadgets with a high quality in a low cost.

As the majority of us know (by majority, I mean those of us that have been subjected to all the market hammering over the past 3 years or so over the “new HD age”) HD is the future. And Sky is putting its money where its mouth is, offering the Sky+ HD box/decoder for a credit crunch-friendly £49.00.

It could be onto a winner too. According to Sky’s latest figures, 188,000 people went HD with the company in the last three months of 2008, doubling the number of the previous three months as well as bumping up the total number of Sky HD houses to 779,000. And that was before the cheap box sweetened the deal. The credit crunch might help the broadcaster too – as finances tighten, staying in just might become the new going out. Although with minimum monthly costs of £16.50 for Sky, along with a HD package starting at £9.75, it’s not exactly budget entertainment.

Remember Viliv Vant X70 PMP that was first introduced at CES 2008? Turns out it has a new nephew (only recently introduced), coming with the name X70 Atom Communication MID.

In similar fashion to its predecessor the T-Mobile G1, the upcoming HTC G2 Android phone has gotten leaked prior to its eventual release. Apparently, HTC decided to ditch the keyboard altogether for a thinner profile.

The trackball seems to still be intact, but we’re not quite sure if the display has gotten an increase in size as well. Anyway, while it does seem a step up in terms of design from the G1, it’s still a far cry from the HTC phones we’ve grown accustomed to.
