Electronic Bling: It's the Thing
Filed in archive Tech News Around The World by Eric Hanson on November 9, 2006

; now BusinessWeek.com has an article talking about a whole host of diamond- and gold-encrusted gadgets that various companies from Bang and Olufsen (the Serene - pictured - the world's most expensive cell phone at $1,275) to Tulip (the Ego Diamond, a laptop running at $355,000). It's certainly an interesting phenomenon - who needs to buy three extra houses or five swimming pools when you can carry your conspicuous consumption with you - but it also strikes me as pretty silly; why exactly do you need $1275 cell phone? Unless you're rocking one of these, that is.
