Flying Car - At the Price Of A Saloon

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Just what the hell am I doing subjecting myself to this kind of bullshit day after day" while making your way through the morning traffic. I certainly have hoping for an answer from somewhere. Well..... My prayers just might have been answered. A team of experts have designed the Personal Air and Land Vehicle (PAL-V) that can operate both on the land and in the air. With foldable helicopter components hidden in the roof and rear the PAL-V can soar upto speeds of 120Mph and does 0-60Mph in 5 seconds. And the best part is it would probably not cost more than an executive saloon.

Mobiado CellPhone - Sapphire Buttons

The Mobiado Stealth is said to combine "aluminum and sapphire crystal in an extreme fashion." The front face of the handset has been machined from a single piece of solid (aircraft-grade) aluminum and then there is a single inlay of sapphire crystal. This makes for a very stiff body, which is then further reinforced by a rock hard ceramic coating. Each button is sapphire crystal and stainless steel too.

In terms of features, you get all the basics covered like a QVGA display, 2 megapixel camera, microSD expansion, stereo speakers, push-to-talk, Bluetooth, music player, tri-band GSM, and high-speed WCDMA 2100 connectivity.
