How About Some Bling with that UMPC?
The UMPC concept seems all but gone, but maybe by adding some gold, some brass, and some Swarovsk jewels to a 7 inch form factor and charging $30,000 it might attract some buyers with cash to burn. I doubt it though.
My doubts notwithstanding, somebody at Moneual thinks it might be worth it because they’ve put together this shiny (and I mean shiny) new UMPC-like piece of jewelry that runs an Intel Core 2 Duo chip with an ATI Radeon HD 4000 card for HD video. With those dials it looks more like a gold and jewel encrusted radio with a touch screen than a computer to me.

To be fair, Moneual is a manufacturer of Home Theater PCs and this is being marketed as a PC that is “designed with your living room aesthetic in mind” so you can “control your system from the comfort of your couch.”
Not quite as totally ridiculous as, say, Vertu.
