A $350,000 Laptop? Put That on My Christmas Wish List!

Bargain laptop hunters, do not read this News.com blog. Dutch company Ego-Lifestyle has brought its latest high-end luxury laptop, the Tulip Ego, to the States just in time for the holiday shopping season. Barneys New York will be the first U.S. retailer to feature the handbag-shaped laptop and its corresponding interchangeable "skins," which are available in a variety of designer fabrics and finishes.
And all this can be yours for a mere $5,000. The laptop, first introduced at Milan Fashion Week in the spring, has a 12.1-inch screen, an AMD Turion processor, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and a DVD/CD burner. But if you're willing to go even further and sell off, say, your house or [more], you might consider the limited-edition Platinum, Diamond, and Otazu Ego Diamond models. The latter, designed by Rodrigo Otazu, sports a total of 470 diamonds arranged in tulip, heart and Otazu logo patterns. The Otazu currently sells for $350,000.

Another Motorola ROKR Leaks Out

PhoneScoop reports: "The FCC approved the Motorola ROKR E6. This candybar style music phone has a large touch screen instead of a keypad, with a few RAZR style buttons for navigation below. It runs Motorola's pen-based Linux OS, indicating it is designed for Chinese markets, which is likely why it only features GSM 1900. The E6 also has a full size SD slot, Bluetooth, FM transmitter, and a 2 Megapixel camera with macro mode." You can see more pictures using the first link; and get a copy of the Users Manual here.
