The default Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth headsets already look quite stylish for a Bluetooth headset, but these Yves Behar-created limited edition sets beat his originals by quite a bit. The white, brown and black headsets are smooth, unlike the pock-marked original design, and represent trash talk, sweet talk and dirty talk, respectively. We can’t quite make out what the picture for sweet talk is supposed to be, but the dirty and trash talk are obvious. If we didn’t already own a Jawbone for our in-the-car conversations, we’d nab one of these ASAP. [Fuse Project via Josh Spear via Yanko]
Yesterday’s matte black limited-edition DS has been superseded by a Louie Vouie-esque design from cult Japanese fashion line Bathing Ape. Available in either white or a rather dingy gold, the case is stamped with Mario and Bape faces, with the Mario star thrown in for good measure. Available in Japan from April 1, expect this to sell out pronto. [
Made from a block of aircraft aluminum, Mobiado’s black Stealth Mobile is inspired by the bomber of the same name. Only 1200 will be made, so expect the price, while not quite as expensive as a B-2 Spirit, should hit you in the pocket. Full specs of the small-buttoned beauty are below.

The Tesla electro-roadster that goes from 0-60 in 4 seconds is due to hit the streets this fall, and there are 560 orders for the $98,000 electric sports car already pending. Hey, wait a minute. We thought all the Teslas were sold out. Not so, according to a Tesla Motors spokesman, who says the Lotus factory where the cars are built can crank out 800 of the 2008 models. When can we get one?
The Thinkpad reserve’s website just went live, and the $5000 limited edition PC’s details have just become clear. It basically sounds like an X series, wrapped in leather, and bundled with an hyper-active executive service plan.
This sunny-side-up DS Lite is the limited edition result of a love-in with Pikachu and Nintendo. However, the bad news is that there’s no guarantee you’ll get your paws on one, as this yella fella with Pikachu etched on the cover is so limited that it’s only available via a lottery system (and $139). If you live in Japan, get yourself down to the Pokemon Center and on the list from July 20 onwards. – Ad Dugdale

I was interested in the Halo 3 preview event at Foreign Cinema this weekend. But when Noah went to the NY event hours earlier and came back with Halo 3 edition Zune photos, it increased my interest by a great amount. No biggie. Zune.
But when I got there, the new grey with blue doubleshot colorscheme was too nice to pass up, and that screen, well, I always had a thing for the Zune’s big screen. So I felt I had to shoot something. Without proper videocam, what you have here is a test of the Sony Ericsson w880i’s capabilities in relatively low light, and noisy conditions. It ain’t no Cybershot. What you have here is the World’s Shittiest Halo 3 Edition Zune. BTW, it was preloaded with photos of Master Chief.
There’s still no word on whether these are a limited private run like the 1/500 Cartoon Network Zune, or a real run that citizens and Halo fanboys can buy. – Brian Lam
There was a little surprise for everyone today at the Halo 3 preview in NYC: A special edition Halo 3 Zune. It’s due out in mid-June. Wish I could have shown you some pictures of the box, which is emblazoned with Master Chief, but it was all hidden behind thick glass.–Noah Robischon Thanks Carlos

If you’re a fan of the Simpsons or Xbox 360, take a look at this limited edition Simpsons Movie console. There’s only 100 models being made, which are being given out as prizes in various competitions leading up to the movie’s release on July 27.
However, we did get an insider tip that told us Colorware did the work for these. You know, Colorware, the same guys who paint Xbox 360s, PS3s, and Wiis for you? So you could technically get make your own Simpsons-ish console by ordering a yellow-coloured one from Colorware. Just be prepared to go without Homer’s head. But it does match in well with the EA Simpsons game that’s coming soon too. – Jason Chen
