LG Shows Designer Edition Shine Mobile Phone
LG recently introduced a new mobile phone line dubbed Shine in parallel to the Chocolate line.
The Shine Designer's Edition pretty much looks like the original Shine, but has engraving all over the backside. I cannot make out anything else from the translated Korean announcement. I still hope LG will let it Shine outside of Korea soon.
LG is more and more becoming a major player in the mobile phone biz. The new Touch screen phone KE850, which will possibly be the basis for the LG Prada phone are exciting new developments for 2007.

Sony PSP Fashion Designer Accessories
Sony organized a fashion show dubbed Pret a PSP to feature Sony PSP accessories designed by Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Henry
Duarte, Coach, LRG and Jennifer Lopez (who is pregnant by the way if you must know).
The photos of the Sony PSP accessories featured in the Sony Press-Release (via Engadget) are quite boring to say the least. I guess Sony contacted Marc Jacobs a week before the show and then one of the interns got the job to find a handbag in the storage room where the PSP fits in. Oh well, it is a good thing that the Sony PSP by itself is good looking.
The press-release mentions Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Hilary Duff, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as celebrity guests. Guess who has a PSP now in LA.

The Sony PSP is in stores in 8 days.

I4U Builds a High-End PC for a Graphics Designer
So last Saturday I build since a long time a PC together from components.
First of all it was fun again to-do. I aimed to build a high performance Windows
XP workstation for a Graphics Designer running Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia
Dreamweaver, Macromedia Fireworks, Adobe Illustrator and so on. Most custom computer guides are
for gaming computers. In this case focus was on a workstation that is optimized
for massive data throughput throughout the whole system and 2D graphics
performance. Another factor was noise, although performance took priority. Cost
is also a factor and I did not select components where the price is not worth the
additional performance. Overall the PC I specified cost me 1,600Euros. In the US
the components will cost about $1,820 and in the UK it will run for about £1,120
(see table below).
The PC I put together is a winner so far. The graphics designer can't stop grinning when working with her new PC.
Application load times dramatically shortened for instance. If you ever started
Adobe Photoshop you know how long Graphic Design Applications can take to load.
The fast hard-drives and the fast bus architecture pay here off dramatically.
I built the PC in about 4 hours with Windows XP Professional up and running at
the end.
Below I list the components I selected to build this fast machine. The
savings compared to buy such a high-end PC at Dell (saves about 40%!!) or similar vendors are quite
dramatic.
