Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, for the Space Traveller Who Has Everything
7:20AM Gizmodo US Edition | The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch designed by NASA back in the ’70s puts your puny Earthwatch to shame. Its anodised aluminium body can withstand temperatures from -148 to +260° Celsius, and its sassy red exterior is sure to impress any ladyaliens you meet on your travels. There’s no confirmed price, but with a limited run of less than 2,000, we’re betting it won’t come cheap. [Josh Spear via men.style.com] More »

Dark Knight Xbox 360 Available On eBay For $Obscene
2:00AM Jason Chen | The limited edition Dark Knight Xbox 360 that Mark was willing to end his marriage for is now available on eBay. Bid fast and bid hard, cause they’ve only created 110 of these and not all of them are going to be scalped. The going price seems to be somewhere around US$1200, which is obscene even if it’s a Dark Knight version. Even Bruce Wayne wouldn’t buy one of these, and he buys hotels just so he can pee in its pool. [eBay via Gamertell] More »

iPhone App Store Developers Have Size and Price Limits: 2GB and US$999
2:59AM Jason Chen | AppleInsider has a scoop on the iPhone App Store and the limitations Apple is placing on them. Each individual app will have a hard limit of 2GB, as well as a ceiling of $999 for each app. These two look like pretty reasonable limits for all but the most extreme of cases. If someone wants to charge more than US$0, the lowest possible price is US$0.99. There are other details, such as how an App looks, how they’re rated inside the store, and region control, but Apple’s legal team had AppleInsider take those images down–always a sign that there was some good stuff there.

AT&T Limiting iPhones to ONE Per Customer, No Cash or Checks
6:00AM Jason Chen | AT&T just sent out an internal memo to its employees today limiting all iPhone purchases to one per customer—down from a previous three—and making everyone pay with credit cards or debit cards. Do they want to make their stock last until the 3G iPhone is out? Probably, since people who buy more than one are usually not regular guys who just wants to use the phone for themselves.

Microsoft to Release Limited-Edition Joy Division Zune in June
7:00PM Gizmodo US Edition | Microsoft will release a limited-edition Joy Division Zune sometime around June 5, coordinated with the launch of a DVD about the band. It is thought that the Joy Division Zune will be designed by Peter Saville, the graphic designer behind both Joy Division album covers, and a big player in the Manchester music scene of the ’80s. While there are not yet any pictures of the artwork available, there is every indication that the design will be something along the lines of that which is on the band’s Unknown Pleasures album.

The Opus 8 Watch Puts a Pin-Art Spin On The Mechanical-Digital Display
9:30AM Sean Fallon | If the Di Grisogono Meccanica DG was the first watch with a mechanical-digital display, the Opus 8 watch by Harry Winston comes in at a close second. While the DG used mechanical tubes to display the time, the Opus 8 works using a complicated system of mechanical pixels that rise up from the display when the user activates a mechanism on the side of the case. But that’s not all. More »
