How many people would prefer white iPhone 4 to a black one? This is a genuine gadget geek’s question and we should have probably organized a poll for that matter, but this is not the case. Whatever the answer would have been, at least some of you are actually holding out for a white iPhone to come out. And it is a pity that you have to. But thanks to Stuart Hughes, who decided you should have none of that, you can buy a white unlocked 32GB iPhone 4 today for just $20,000. Has he covered it with diamonds? – You are probably asking. Well guess what, yes he has. Another good question though is if diamonds somehow address reception issues stock iPhones have? I’m not sure if this is relevant, but since we are talking smartphones here it probably is. Unfortunately we are not concerned about diamond edition iPhone 4 users having any complains so far, so if you want to make sure you will have to buy it and find out for yourself.

1. Tunebuckle
If you don't know how to carry your iPod Nano around, the Tunebuckle has an answer for you - your belt! However, it is not a clip-on case, as you may think. Imagine that the audio player is hidden inside your belt buckle! Taking advantage of Nano's very small size, it can be hidden inside the buckle, which has an opening for headphone jack and for control buttons too. The iPod will surely be safe from scratches inside this full metal jacket, and you will look very original storing your music inside your belt.However, its main disadvantage is that it is made only for iPod Nano.

While right arm scratches, left one keeps the hand on the headphone - it looks and sounds very realistic.

It will run the programs made for either Mac that uses Intel Corporation’s microprocessors or Windows.




Many perceive this move on Apple’s part as an attempt to increase its market share worldwide from the current value of around three to four per cent. Earlier, despite the phenomenal success of iPod, that saw sales over 40 million units all over the world, it could not give much boost to Apple’s market share.


Apple believes that the move will make its latest Macintosh more attractive to the customers who were earlier choosing computers supporting Windows, though they liked Apple’s more stylish look.Estimating the profit Lehman Brothers analyst Harry Blount commented that this decision would bring a long-term benefit for Apple.
