Seriously does it get any sexier than this? The iriver Life Unit designed by the famed Niro Nakamichi has got to be one of the sexiest gadgets I’ve seen this year. It speaks volumes about a company that can make a hot product without looking like other “apples”.

The updated teaser site doesn’t reveal stuff we really want to know like price and release date but it does give a glimpse into what the Life Unit will do. In a nutshell - EVERYTHING.

We’re talkin’ center of your home entertainment hub here. Slot load CD/DVD player, LCD screen that’s detachable and turns into a PMP device! It’s got wireless capability for streaming, a port that charges and syncs with iriver players, a sic touchscreen remote control that unfolds into a 78-key QWERTY keyboard, a radio, a TV tuner, and last but not least; custom designed Nakamichi audio system.
Hell, they should have made it into a phone too. Many more pictures after the jump. (more…)

I appreciate the design aesthetics of Bang & Olufsen, even if it at times seem a little stark. If one thing can be said about them, it’s their dedication to hardware design complimenting functionality. This is the case with their American bound BeoVision 7. You get the top of the line 40″ LCD TV with one of those cool simulated 7.1 channel surround audio systems. All this wrapped in the obligatory metals and glass rising from a motorized floor stand.

How much? Try $13,250 for the basic package. My my, it must be nice to burn hundred dollar bills so easily.
