Diamonds For The Rich, Famous, and Infamous.

A New York luxury car dealer has commissioned one of the most outrageous and expensive car accessories yet.


It's a one-of-a-kind Spirit of Ecstasy bonnet ornament made of diamonds and Platinum and mounted on a very expensive surface coating.

This Roll-Royce "Spirit of Ecstacy" bonnet ornament is encrusted with $200 000
worth of diamonds.


The ornament was designed by jeweler Jean Kemanjian for Manhattan Motorcars as "a tribute to the car itself."

It's covered in diamonds, laid out in a pavé surface similar to bathroom tiles - except that this is the most expensive surface coating in the world.

150 carats of top-quality, super-white diamonds and some fancy intense yellow diamonds on the wings were used.

This is the only one of its kind in the world.


KOOL!

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Great goods from you, man. I've understand your stuff previous to and you are just too magnificent. I really like what you've acquired here, really like what you are saying and the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still care for to keep it smart. I can't wait to read far more from you. This is actually a great site.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

This is probably the most awesome entry I have every read. If everyone followed this, there would be half as less disappointments.

Very nice blog.I like this and will come back very soon.

I do consider all of the concepts you've introduced to your post. They're really convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are too quick for novices. May you please prolong them a little from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.

Neat blog.. I enjoyed reading and I'll be back later..
