Motorola wows us not with another RAZR-like handset, but with the Celestial Edition of its Motorola Aura in order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the moon landing. This is but the standard Aura with additional extras including original NASA content from the moon landing such as video footage, stills and famous audio snippets like “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”, and “The Eagle has landed”. Bear in mind that Motorola were the ones who provided the original radio transponder aboard Apollo 11 that in turn, relayed the first words and visuals from the moon to Earth. There is no word on pricing, but knowing how commemorative editions of anything in the world is expensive, this will surely cost you a handsome amount - not that the Motorola Aura is dirt cheap in the first place.

No matter how bad things get economically, there is always a selected group of elite people around the world who won't find that their lifestyles need to be changed in order to adjust to leaner times. It is this particular group of people that the Vertu Ascent Ti Damascus Steel was developed, apparently relying on “ancient steel forging” techniques that resulted in an increase of the metal’s hardness. As for its specifications, don't expect the Vertu Ascent Ti Damascus Steel to venture too far away from familiar territory, with a QVGA display, S40 user interface, GSM/UMTS connectivity, a 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash and 4GB of internal memory sounding more or less about right. There will only be a hundred of these available, although there is no price released just yet.

The Dell Adamo then was considered to be a new range under the Dell umbrella – it is not a netbook, and neither is it an ordinary notebook. In fact, Dell was entering unchartered territory back then with this luxury notebook.
