Nokia 7900 Prism: Design and customizable

Possibly inspired by the revolutionary architecture of the Munich stadium, the Bank of China and the Japanese Prada store, nothing but the Nokia 7900 Prism and its ultra brillant black facade can boast to be the conspicuous mobile phone design of the moment. The geometric patterned cover cleverly plays with the light as our fingers tap away feverishly on the diamond cut keypad. In addition the wallpaper changes subtlety throughout the day and the keypad can light up in 49 colours making the Nokia 7900 Prism the most customizable phone of the moment. A veritable feat of technology.



Loewe screen: A tremendous success

Modus L 37 on Floor Stand 4: is the harsh cold name of the international red dot design award winning Loewe television. It is a tremendous success for its design "young, trendy and confortable". We like the numerous possible installation configurations of this machine (rotating, mural, or floor stand) offering real flexibility in integrating it in a room without spoiling the décor. The quality is outstanding as well.



a700: Get digital reflexes

After the success encountered in 2006 with the launch of the first digital Reflex camera, Sony could hardly stop the development of such a model and launches its new model the a700 (pronounced "alpha"). Key features: 21 interchangeable lens, 45 accessories and 3 new optics for a quality without compromise. Cheese!



Becker Traffic Assist: Le GPS is looking at its best!

In an overcrowded and congested market of portable navigation systems there is missing one major innovation: the design. Out with the austere shells in black plastic and in with high quality brushed aluminium, straight coloured lines and a harmonious contrast of a flexible and luminous touch screen. In fact, with the Becker Traffic Assist it is possible a splash of fashion in this world of noise without scarifying any new functions: multimedia player, special destination entry (petrol stations, restaurants...), traffic information, possibility to travel as you wish on more scenic routes...Enough said we are waiting with impatience for the version with massage!



iPod Touch: Music at your finger tips

It is probably the launch that is going to make in all other MP3 obsolete in one fell swoop. Its name: iPod Touch. In one word "multitouch" the revolutionary interface created by Apple (already glimpsed on the long waited iPhone) has been applied to the iPod. It is beyond pleasure to navigate on its tactile screen. The latest addition to the family includes at last Wi-Fi connectivity. Listen, watch, download, surf in one simple gesture, without a doubt the iPod Touch promises to be the top-seller this autumn!



Pack Harman Kardon: Home cinema to be proud of!

Design, uncluttered, and cutting edge, the pack Cinespecial 29 of Harman Kardon slides itself discretely into our interiors offering the best sound quality. Key features: the top-of-the-line DVD 29 DVD player and the powerful A/V AVR 350 receiver. Perfect for staying at night this winters cocooning. Prepare the pop-corn and warm blanket, the cinema has come home!



The promise of a new (simulated) dawn with Philips...

Nothing completely new here but those who are still reeling from abruptly being woken by the alarm clock every morning will be maybe happier to wake up to a sunrise, even if it is simulated, and feel refreshed. If however you are not prepared to exchange your serenity for tasteful decoration of your bedroom, opt for a pink dawn simulator which feminses indenaibly the room or frosted brown colder but more elegant. The chance to naturally wake up: slowly and in soft colours.



HTC Touch: The rival to the iPhone

We are not conning you here, the HTC Touch is more or less the Taiwanese version of the iPhone. Same finger tip control touch screen, same loads of gadgets, same design both sober and sophisticated, this 2nd generation smartphone should unquestionably find its public. Then there is the question of its school...
