GADGETS – Vertu Constellation Quest

New shit!

It packs all the high-end design features that set a Vertu apart from more common mobile phones, but packs a full QWERTY keyboard and a wider screen to keep its user connected and in the loop.

For the Quest, Vertu has also introduced new features like Vertu Remote Assist that allows the tech support team on call ’round the clock to go into the phone and fix whatever’s not working. There’s also Vertu City Brief, providing users with fingertip access to information on whatever location they’re traveling to. All that and more, packed into a choice of stainless steel (matte or polished) or 18-karat gold case with a leather back and sapphire crystal screen.

GADGETS – Dell Venue Pro

Everyone’s doing the same thing.

Dell Venue Pro ($TBA) looks to be a strong Windows Phone 7 option, with a 4.1-inch AMOLED screen, a vertically-oriented, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a five megapixel camera, a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, and service (at least initially) from T-Mobile.

IGUANA?

Tired seeing all white Air Force Ones? Then I think it’s time to scoop you a pair in black or IGUANA. Made with “TecTuff” technology, this new breed of leather AF1’s said to be oil and stain resistant; as well as, abrasion resistance. Perfect for fall 2010!

Bob Marley on the Ski Slopes?

I attempt to cater to everyone with my blog (while maintaining an interest in what I write), and with winter unfortunately right around the corner; I decided to post this one for all my snow boarders out there. Burton has launched A Bob Marley Snow Board! A collaboration between Burton, pioneers and innovators in the boarding world, and Marley & Co. the board design consists of a series of photos from Bob Marley’s family archives, the Rasta colours, Lion of Judah and both Bob Marley and Burton Branding. The images were said to “reflect his love for his family, music and life”. The Bob Marley Whammy Board is part of Burton’s restricted collection, and can be purchased online for under $400.00. We can only hope the board brings some cool vibrations when you’re out there on the slops. One love!

Jay-Z and Yankee Tees

Check out this new commemorate tees design, a collaboration between Jay-z and Majestic, in honor of the first concerts to be held at Yankee Stadium Bronx NY, September 13 and 14th, with co-headliners Jay-z and Eminem .  Sleek, black and co-branded with Jay-z and Yankee team logos, the tees will be available for purchase at the Yankee Stadium Great Hall Team Store. There is no word as to whether the t-shirts will be available for purchase on line so if you are in market for the clothing I suggest you hit up a family member or friend in the big Apple.

Levi Curve ID

With the launch of the Curve ID line, Levi’s has set out to tackle the age-old dilemma (and clever tag line) “All Asses Are Not Created Equal” when finding the perfect jean fit for female ASSets. The jeans are designed in three fits: slight curve, demi curve, and bold curve in order to accommodate various body types.  Waist to hip assessments are performed to address shape rather than size in order to obtain the perfect fit. Congratulations Levi’s (raises glasses) it only took 75 years to make Women (and Men) very happy!  (bottoms up!) Now if we can only work on a (ethnically) diverse marketing campaign?!
