There are people who would simply buy what is in vogue. The result is that every person walking across Hyde Park would have the same thing with them. Then there would be others who like exclusivity. For the latter ones, Nokia has launched its latest craft-piece called the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte. It has interesting materials in the making such as carbon fibre, titanium, polished glass and stainless steel to give it an arty look. But the USP of the product is that it is in 24k yellow gold makes it a sheer pleasure to see and hold.
At £2099, it is not a high price to pay considering the brand value of Nokia, the original design of the product and the fact that it is hand tailored in England. I particularly like the looks of gold on Black which reminds me of a beautiful speckled snake. It is so classy and unisex that it will appeal to both men and women!

Beijing managed to invite a pool of attention cause of its ‘Bird’s Nest’ National Stadium that can lodge track and field events at a cost much lower than London’s Wembley Stadium, which is honored as world’s most expensive stadium. Against the development cost of $500 million invested upon the Bird’s Nest, the Wembley touched $1.5 billion mark during it’s erection in 2003-2007.

If you thought that you will reach the apex of the TV resolution peak after attaining that bitching novel 50 inch 1080p screen installed in your crib, then I would suggest you to rethink. Hailing from England’s Meridian, the latest offering of 810 Reference projection system redefines your experience of throwing wheelbarrows stocked with dough pointing to a problem. The 810 Reference Video System flaunts 4096×2400 resolution (10 megapixels) and is capable to offer quality images even on the most gigantic screen.
It features a video scaler accessible on a technology known as Qdeo, coming from a company called Marvell. Excuse me…its’ not Marvel but double ‘L.’ I am sure that comes equipped with real super heroic scaling power as linking to the projector requires no less than 4 HDMI cables. Silent in functionality, the 810 Reference Video System is anticipated to hit the market by this fall holding a price tag of $185,000.
