Not content with your Samsung S2 or Apple iPhone

generationphone: Not content with your Samsung S2 or Apple iPhone – Upgrade to luxury smartness courtesy of Tag Heuer’s new link smartphone based on the Android operating system:

Nicknamed the DeathStar by my good self, this obnoxious offering from luxury timepiece craftsmen Tag Heuer looks so ostentatious it is almost laughable that it has a crocodile skin cover option on its back.

Perfect for the kind of person who sacks thousands of hard working people on a Monday and then runs to the government to get bailed out on the Tuesday, this kind of capitalist statement is not what the world is surely seeking right now in these understated times.

Sourpuss on a Sunday?

Of course I can see the point in innovation and a little bling every now and again, but when your hard earned money is going into poor design and nothing short of an average smartphone underneath, surely it is more fool you as is so often the case with luxury brands who are smiling at you in one instance and then laughing all the way to the bank to give “Fred the Shred” his new bonus.

What is more they have based their operating system on what many feel is the “peoples” O/S in Android, this however is an obvious decision and I shall not berate them for this decision.

How much is the Tag Heuer link?

So not withstanding the fact that you will probably look a total tool whipping out your Tag Heuer bling to answer a call from your mum, and you have decided that the $30,000 Apple phone is too crass and expensive, how much are you prepared to pay for the Tag Heuer mobile piece?

Well you will not get much change from £4500 as it is currently selling for €4700 or $6700.

Apples select club coming to an end?

With Apple due to release a budget priced iPhone, if rumours are to be believed. Then perhaps Tag Heuer are on to something in keeping the rich club happy by being all exclusive.

So what do you actually get for you money?

Quite simply a fully working Android based mobile smartphone that has a pretty ugly looking skin. This skin comes in a variety of flavours with options ranging from steel, rose gold, and titanium all topped off with leather, alligator or lizard skin, rubber and the usual gorilla glass making sure the phone is up to scratch or rather lack of scratches.

Spec wise:

You get an out of date Android 2.2 O/S, a humble 3.5-inch (800 x 480) display, a pretty poor 5 megapixel autofocus camera, a tiny 256MB internal memory, a small 8GB memory card, 1400 mAh battery, and EDGE / HSUPA connectivity.

The phone is however built like a brick s***house as most of Tag’s watches are, and has the ability to transform into a yacht, blunderbuss and submarine perfect for holiday adventures in the Caribbean and the Indian sub-continent when trying to look great, feel safe and have a convenient means of killing wild prey are at a premium.

The design of the next generation iPhone

generationphone: The design of the next generation iPhone that is iPhone 5, is still not confirmed to the public that how will it look like but it is quite interesting to know that one case manufacturing company has started manufacturing and selling hard shell cases for iPhone 5. These hard cases are manufactured on the basis of hypothetical design of the most wanted and awaited smart phone.
These hard covers for iPhone 5 with the courtesy of True Supplier are now available for purchase and have various funky and cool colors.  Each case costs $6.99. By having a look at the cases, one can easy understand that they have been made by looking at the leaked design of iPhone 5.
It is no doubt a very courageous step.

iPhone 5 Case

The manufacturing of these cases and now its availability proves that the Chinese case manufacturers are very certain and confident about the leaked design where as the smart phone’s design is still not definite even from reputable sources.  It makes one think that how they managed to have everything right. But for sure it will be a great loss and wastage of money as well as time if the genuine design of the smartphone and the cases made have even a minute difference. Because these cases have been made by keeping in mind the leaked and rumored design of iPhone 5.  They are surely taking a very huge risk at this point but if lady luck is with them and the phone fits in those cases, they surely will be heading the competition.
