Lasonic recently came out with their Lasonic i931 boombox, which looks sick to every true ghetto blaster fan.  The boombox is an iPod boombox that uses an iPod dock to play your music.  The i931 features playback of MP3s via an iPod dock, usb port, or SD/MMC card slot. In addition, the i931 has AM/FM radio, remote, mic input, and bass and treble EQ controls.  The boombox goes for $120 and is definitely a great gift idea with Christmas looming around.

Coca-Cola teamed up with 8 female Italian fashion designers (Donatella Versace, Alberta Ferretti, Anna Molinari for Blumarine, Veronica Etro, Silvia Venturini for Fendi, Consuelo Castiglioni for Marni, Angela Missoni and Rossella Jardini for Moschino) for a fund raising campaign to support the victims of the earthquake in Abruzzo, Italy. Each Coca-Cola Light bottle was sold at an auction during the “Tribute to Fashion” show in Milan.

Not waiting for the next generation of consoles to come out. Australian designer Tai Chiem developed a concept for the Playstation 4.  A tactile model combining plastic and glass, gives it that futuristic look.  Nicely Done!

Fashion Designer Paul Smith collaborated with Evian to develop a new exclusive Evian bottle with the famous Paul Smith signature stripes.  The bottles go for $13.95 and comes in 5 different cap colours.  A definite collector’s item for Paul Smith fans.

In addition to looking sleek and sexy.  LaCie Sound2PC Portable Speakers provide 30W of total peak power output with frequency response range of 80Hz to 20kHz and comes with a built-in USB cable and an external power supply. The speakers go for $100 US. Just plug and play!

Imagine showing up to a premiere or an event in this!  A full sized replica of the Batmobile was spotted on the streets of Sweden last week.  This replica Batmoblie is made from a 1973 Lincoln Continental and took over 3 and half years/20,000 hours to make.  The owner also invested $1 million US dollars to build this beast which also comes with a built-in DVD player, voice recognition, hydraulics and reversing cameras.

Another amazing idea & execution from agency Cossette Atlantic.  To promote free coffee throughout Vancouver…they imitated lamp lights and put their spin on shelter ads for McDonald’s.  Wish I could have seen these!

Targeted to kids and their parents…these Play-Doh Ads just went up in Singapore to address how safe the product is.  Although these ads may attract some controversy…hats off to the agency going in a totally different direction than most Play-Doh ads.  Nicely Done.

Designer Siwei Liu developed this concept for Toshiba that allows the visually impaired a chance to get their hands on a sleek, sexy but practical designed mobile phone.  Although there is no screen, the phone relies on its simple braille design to add easy access to its visually impaired customers.
