So you’ve got your stylish Urban Security Suit locked and loaded in preparation for the next full moon but what sort of artillery power can the fashionista use to prepare for the next zombie attack? Peter Gronquist has the answer with his “The Revolution will be Fabulous” fashion designer weapons.

Why use a standard rifle or chainsaw to slice through an army of the undead when you can use a Louis Vuitton or Prada rifle, or perhaps, even a Fendi-styled saw? No metrosexual zombie fighter should leave home without one, lest they lose their credibility as a douche bag. (more…)

The tagline for the conceptual NYC Ring Flash Camera says “Now You’re Ready To Become A Fashion Photographer”, and from looking at the stylish design and function of the device, the tag doesn’t seem too far from the truth.

Offering a unique design, the flash of the camera is mounted around the lens in a loop, a style we’ve been seeing more and more of. The flashes design gives the photos a typically high contrast, with dark vignettes, lomo feel. The camera also features a cool looking handle-bar styled grip, which is sure to keep the camera steadier then the one-handed snap. — Andrew Dobrow

Woman in the Muslim world are slowly, but surely, developing their own identities within their communities. Sure, they might still get their feminine genitals mangled and destroyed if they so much as breathe in the direction of another man, but heaven forbid that they don’t have proper mobile and technological rights.

So, the ladies still need to hide almost every single portion of their skin, but as can be seen from the beautiful (?) model walking the runway above, she is proudly sporting the newest of Burka technology, featuring an outfit donning a Bluetooth antenna, allowing woman to transmit data to mobile devices in their proximity. Classy! — Andrew Dobrow

With the ever-changing mobile phone market becoming a breeding ground for slider phones, it’s no surprise that a PMP player would eventually be designed in the fashion of the slide design. Hell, Apple’s doing the opposite for the iPhone, right? The Slideon MP3 Player is a concept design from Ian Murchison.

The Slideon is designed to integrate the sleekness of the slide with the portable media crowd, with the controls all hidden under its sleek geometric screen. The Slideon would feature flash-based memory and a battery that can be charged through the headphone jack. (more…)

The IDE Cable belt is almost BEYOND geeky. It’s to the point where if someone notices your belt, they’ll probably think its either made of duct tape or some other cheap material. But “IDE cable” will probably be one of their last guesses, if one were to guess at all.

If getting noticed isn’t important to you and you just feel the need to have your geekiness reaffirmed in your own mind, the IDE belt is a sure fire way to make you feel like you are the nerdiest man alive. Available now for $16. — Andrew Dobrow

Today we saw two pictures of a supposedly Nokia premium phone with QVGA screen, this is speculated to be the brother of 8800 Sirocco: the 8600 Luna. Specs are non-existent for the mean time, but we expect the phone to run on the Symbian Series 40 platform and house a 2 megapixels fixed focus camera. This should not be an April’s fool joke, we’ll keep you updated. –Sam Chan

Netflix became a national phenomenon when it launched its service as an online movie rental service. Now the same type of system is being created for wrist gadgets, otherwise known as watches. Watch My Wrist is essentially a designer watch rental service. If you want to get some ooh’s and ahh’s at parties or some fashion props from your friends, Watch My Wrist is an awesome service.

With new watches added everyday, users select a watch which is then shipped to them. They can keep and use this watch for as long as they want with no late fees, or they can choose a new one to be sent. Once Watch My Wrist receives the watch back in working order, your next selection will be shipped out. You can wear up to three watches at once, including one of their special connoisseur collection. You’ve gotta check out the site to believe it, even just to sniff around. — Andrew Dobrow

DoCoMo announces 703i series, BRAVIA SO903iTV and double internal screen D800iDS

Filed under: Cellphones

ntt docomo

Just 4 hours after AU KDDI’s announcement, NTT DoCoMo announced the new WCDMA 703i series in Tokyo. Nothing out of our expectation as we wrote about before. Also announced are the SonyEricsson BRAVIA SO903iTV DMB phone and Mitsubishi’s double-internal screen D900iDS, both of which Gearfuse premiered on Sunday. The 703i series is the mid-low end of DoCoMo’s 3G portfolio, so don’t compare their specifications with that of the W5 series from AU KDDI. Take note that all these phones will only be available in Japan and Japan only, they will not be unlockable, and neither will other versions be released outside Japan as they are co-developed between NTT DoCoMo and the manufacturers. We have pictures and details of all these cool looking phones after the jump.

We hardly ever seen BenQ-Siemens’ phones nowadays, not like they have nothing to offer, but they’re having trouble with worldwide distribution. Back at their home country, the company is actually one of the companies with the highest profile. At the IT Month event of Kaohsiung city, BenQ-Siemens is going to open the bid for this over-pimped fake-diamond-stuck singer-signed EF71 phone. We thought this picture can give you a little taste of a Taiwanese sense of bling.
