The latest Peter Aloisson blinged iPhone was rumored to worth $2.5 million but excuse me, it’s only $2.4 million but this is already the SALE price. The 3G iPhone is an 18-carat gold with 160 small diamonds and to compensate its name “King’s Button”, the home button is a 6.6-carat behemoth! I bet only those financial-crisis-exempted can afford this jeweled iPhone!

Goldfish iPhone???

Phone users might be ‘cool’ but there’s something of the goldfish about them when it comes to attention spans.

At least according to the latest survey data from Pinch Media which sifted through data from 30 million downloads from the Apple App Store only to find that just 30% of those who buy iPhone apps use them the following day.

Things get even worse after that. Within 20 days, only 5% of those who bought an application are still using it. Unsurprisingly, the drop-off for free apps is even worse than those that people pay for.

It’ll be available in the 2Q in three colored variants (black, red, and silve) though pricing is yet to be known.

The Sony Ericsson Idou, meanwhile, is still currently under development, but it is officially the first 12-megapixel camera phone to be unveiled to the public. Aside from its massive megapixel rating, it also boasts of autofocus functionality, a Xenon flash and a host of other imaging features. It’ll come with a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, and, get this, an OS developed by the Symbian Foundation. Not only will it be groundbreaking in terms of its imaging features, but it might also be the first Symbian Foundation-powered phone.

They’ve already put up a microsite and released this demo video to get us all excited for it

Obama can’t use a blackberry??

From President Barack Obama’s Super Bowl Sunday interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer:

“It’s like Inspector Gadget. If you touched it, it might blow up. It turns into a car if I have to make a quick getaway.” When Lauer asked about who has the coveted number, Obama said he wouldn’t give it to Lauer but he might give it to Lauer’s young son Jack, prompting Lauer to whisper, “Jack, give it to your pappa.”

From Obama’s remarks at the uber exclusive Alfalfa Dinner on Saturday night:

“In just the first few weeks, I’ve had to engage in some of the toughest diplomacy of my life. And that was just to keep my Blackberry. I finally agreed to limit the number of people who could email me. It’s a very exclusive list. How exclusive? Everyone look at the person sitting on your left. Now look at the person sitting on your right. None of you have my email address.” More on the Barack BlackBerry soon at 7comms

Just discovering iMacros, the Firefox add-on. A huge time-saving where you have to test websites with the same data, or keep filling the same form in (reapplying for your son’s driving Theory Test anyone?)

Enjoy
