Latest Technology is in Your Radar

TomTom, the maker of the GPS equipment and software, has Black Friday deals in place that you may be looking for if you’re in the market for a personal navigational device this holiday season. The Amsterdam, Netherlands-based GPS vendor has discounted a number of personal navigational devices from its rich portfolio and some of the price cuts are pretty substantial, up to $120. Some of the noteworthy deals include the following items:

• ONE 130 is $79.95, down from $129.95 (a $50 saving)
• ONE 140S is $99.95, down from $199.95 (a $100 saving)
• XL 335S is $119.95, down from $239.95 (a $120 saving)
• GO 340 S LIVE is $199.95, down from $249.95 (a $50 saving)

Now that the holiday shopping season is upon us you are probably trying to find that unique gift for a loved one. If they are a gadget lover then perhaps you can commission them a unique iPhone. One anonymous Australian businessman who works in the gold industry did just that. You can get a similar iPhone like his. It will just cost you over $3 million dollars.
Gizmag has reported that the luxurious iPhone, commissioned by Goldstriker International, has grabbed the title of the world’s most expensive mobile. The device was designed by Stuart Hughes of Liverpool, England and took ten months to create. Some of the specs of the iPhone include a casing made of 22ct solid gold and 136 diamonds which outline the front bezel. The rear of the phone features a logo made up of 53 diamonds. Probably the most eye-catching addition to the phone is the navigation button which is made of a single-cut, rare diamond weighing 7.1cts.
Anyone who carries an iPhone worth over $3 million either really loves the iPhone or wants to show that they have money to burn. As a status symbol, I suppose carrying around the most expensive mobile phone in the world is easier than a Ferrari or a new yacht. Unfortunately, like most smartphones, it will be obsolete in a few years.
