Stuart Hughes and his merry band of innovators have produced yet another goodie: A 24ct solid gold iPhone 4g. This is the perfect investment for an Apple fan, marrying the usefulness and fun of the iPhone with, um, a bunch of gold. The gold handset boasts 150 grams of 24ct gold for a price tag of $33,622. The company has given no word on whether or not the golden iPhone requires a free bumper to help with the phone’s known reception problems. More as it comes in.
Mobiado, maker of fine cell phones everywhere, has released the Classic 712EM phone. This phone is an update of sorts to it’s Classic 712ZAF line. The inside specs of said phone are exactly the same but that’s where the similarities end. Check out the beautiful wood finish on this thing! No two phones are alike. The designers said they are each as rare as a beautiful oak tree. Not quite as environmentaly friendly but I digress. The exotic wood is inlaid into an anodized aluminum frame, which is crafted from aircraft aluminum. The Classic 712EM is available in four versions: Cocobolo, Ebony, Burl White and Burl Black. The phones are unlocked and will work with any service provider.
Ah. The finer things in life. Do not be content taking a regular old bath when you could be bathing in a giant hunk of rare Amazonian rock crystal! You heard that right, folks. Baldi, the Italian manufacturer who fields these kinds of things for a living, have taken it upon themselves to their own ante with the appropriately named “Rock crystal bathtub.” The tub, shown above, is a three-person bath carved out of a single piece of rock crystal found in the Amazonian rainforest. The thing was also sculpted using diamonds. Not bad. It will set you back over $749k, but true luxury is worth it.
You read that title right. Audi has finally released it’s long-anticipated, um, foosball table. The popular maker of luxury sports cars have taken some time off of the car biz to focus their energies on where it really belongs: Everyone’s favorite bar game.
Their foosball table just may be the most expensive to ever grace this humble planet. It costs over $15,000 and features aluminum casing along with stitched leather that meets the high standards demanded in professional tournaments. The company vows to be making only 20 of these units so you had better hop on it fast. Or, twirl on it, however foosball is played.
You like iPods right? How about gold? Soccer? Of course to all three! So it makes sense to combine them all. Goldgenie has done just that with their limited edition gold plated iPod that is signed by legendary footballer Usain Bolt. The company has experience with the newly bustling mini-genre of “gold plated iPods signed by famous soccer players.” Last year they released a similar model featuring a signature by Frank Lampard. These are even cooler, however. Embellished in 24ct gold, this 3rd generation iPod touch is available in 8GB and was created to mark the 100m and 200m Olympic Gold medalist’s achievements on that crafty soccer field. They also come with a laser engraved signature. Priced at $555, Goldgenie promises to be producing just 500 of these little puppies so act fast.
If you like gaming, and who doesn’t, this might be right up your alley. It’s an Xbox 360 covered in 24k gold! It’s brought to you by Computer-Choppers. You might remember them from their gold-covered PS3 or Macbook Pro. In short, these guys love covering tech-gadgets in gold. God bless em!
The golden Xbox 360 costs $4,999 and is available now.

Well, eco-freaks, prepare to get mad. There is now a Porsche covered in whale skin vinyl. The makers of the world’s most expensive SUV, Dartz, has unveiled a whole new way to wrap cars up. Whale skin vinyl! Don’t worry, though. It’s artificial. The covering apparently emulatesf whale penis skin surface. On the flipside Dartz will include a SAVE The WHALES logo on the flip side of the car, just so you can be sure to not piss anybody off. Good looking out Dartz!
