So, you have a small fortune burning a hole in your pocket. Why buy a perfectly good iPad, when you can get a fugly and tacky version of the device?

Well, thank Stuart and Katherine Hughes who created this 22ct “solid gold” iPad Supreme Edition decked out in 53 gems. Here is your new purchase. Only £129,995 (or about $190k). It still lacks flash and as a bonus will get you mugged the second you use it in public.

LG’s latest Blu-Ray player has it all. The BX580 is a network 3D Blu-ray with HDMI (v 1.4), Wi-Fi, DLNA, external HDD support, NetCast and a USB connector. And now we know when it will ship, more or less. The BX580 has just shown up on Amazon’s website, priced at $399.99 and it’s listed as the company’s first network 3D Blu-ray player.

It will handle all of the upcoming 3D Blu-ray titles and ships with NetCast Entertainment Access, giving users the ability to enjoy web content.

iBUYPOWER has a ton of computers that it offers and the majority of them are aimed at gamers. The company has a line of notebooks and desktop systems that have been popular for a while now. The company has announced a new gaming desktop called the LAN Warrior II.

The new rig is highly customizable and comes in the new NZXT Vulcan micro ATC chassis. The PC can be fitted with an Intel Core i7 CPU, dual ATI HD 5970 video cards or dual NVIDIA GTX 480 video cards in SLI or CrossFireX.

Patriot is a big name in the enthusiast world for computer memory. The company also has other hardware as well and has announced a new SSD called the Inferno that uses the SandForce controller.

The Inferno SSD will be offered in 100GB and 200GB capacities and uses specially screened MLC NAND flash for speed. The drive promises blazing fast read and write performance.

We have seen the Garminfone already with its questionable mix of smartphone and PND that I don’t think most folks will care for. Today Garmin dropped a new GPS device that no one was expecting out of the blue called the nuvi 295W.

The 295W is sort of like that Garminfone minus the phone part. The PND is clearly aimed at trying to get users to take the 295W with them outside the car. The device has a 3MP camera and can geotag images it takes.

Here in the US AT&T did us a solid with nice data plans at a good price. Over in the UK fans of the iPad looking to get the 3G version might be looking to save some coin on a data plan and there is a way to save even more than the already cut rate pricing on iPad data.

ITProPortal reports that if you have an account with Orange that has a SIM card at the £5 monthly rate for 500MB of data you can use that SIM in your iPad 3G with some tweaking. Presumably, you can buy the dongle before the iPad just to get the SIM card as well.

If you’re looking for something a bit different in a pair of headphones, Roc Nation has teamed up with Skullcandy to release the Roc Nation Aviator headphones. They come packing a 40mm full-range enhanced audio driver and retro good looks.

The Aviator headphones also sport a foldable design for portability and feature a 20-20kHz frequency response, 65-Ohms impedance, 40mW of input power, 100mW of output power and a 3.5mm gold plated plug.

The Sprint Evo 4G will be on sale for $200, with contract, on June 4th. It will feature two-way video chat on 3G and 4G networks, hence the forward-facing camera. Looks like it will run Qik, a third party app, which probably means that you can make cellphone-to-computer calls.

WiMax is going to cost you an extra $10 a month as a “Premium Data add-on,”. You can still use the Evo 4G as a hotspot for up to eight devices, but it’s going to cost an extra $30 a month to do so.

Man, try not to get sick watching the video below. This projector strapped to a Wii-gun is pretty damn cool. It comes from Nirav Patel, who decided to take first-person shooting to the next level. He has combined a Wiimote Zapper, a handheld ShowWX laser projector and a gyrometer to display a screen wherever the Zapper is pointing.

Patel calls it a “glasses-free virtual reality first-person shooter,”. With it, he can look around and navigate the game-world just by moving the Zapper and using its joystick. Right now the game is running off of Patel’s laptop, with his controller tethered to it. Oh and he’s wearing the laptop on his back. I would love to see where else he can take this.

Here’s Comcast CEO Brian Roberts demonstrating Xfinity Remote, a super nice iPad application that lets you control your cable box. It takes the set-top box interface and turns it into an easy-to-use iPad app that features an interface with a keyboard.

TiVo really should have done something like this. You can change channels, program recordings, search the schedule and select a pay-per-view program, all on the browser-based iPad app. Awesome.

Seems like more and more mini Bluetooth keyboards are coming onto the market. This Mini Bluetooth Keyboard for Smartphones is the latest, fresh out from Chinavasion. It’s about the same size as an iPhone and gives you 49 qwerty keys.

It plays nice with Macs, PCs, PS3s and the iPad as well as Symbian60, Android and Windows Mobile 6.0 phone. It recharges via USB but sadly it lacks function keys. The price is only $23, which makes this one tempting.

Attention Walmart shoppers, you might see the iPad hitting Walmart stores near you sometime soon. Senior vice president of entertainment for Walmart’s US stores has confirmed that they’re planning to carry the iPad later this year.

U.S. distribution is currently limited to Apple’s online and retail stores and Best Buy locations offering the Apple “store-within-a-store” concept. We’ll have to see how this works out as Apple is busy trying to keep up with customer demand for the iPad.

We’ve all heard the back and forth over which is better, HTML5 or flash or just watching stuff on your HDTV. Many think that HTML5 will save streaming video, but Hulu VP Eugene Wei recently went on record stating that HTML5 can’t handle Hulu’s current needs.

DRM seems to be a big part of the problem. HTML5 doesn’t support it. Hulu needs it. Otherwise we would all just be able to right click to save any Hulu show. Good for us, but for Hulu not so much.

The 15.6-inch IdeaPad Y560 has finally surfaced on Lenovo’s website. This laptop offers Core i3, i5 and i7 options, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, ATI’s 1GB Mobility Radeon HD 5730 GPU, Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) and a 1,366 x 768 native resolution panel.

It weighs 5.95 pounds and has a black plastic chassis with an engraved pattern on the lid. Plenty of options are customizable if you don’t like the base configurations and they start at $949.

Looks like the Samsung Galaxy S is headed to Vodafone UK if you are looking for a Nexus One alternative. The 16GB model is listed on Vodafone’s website. You can’t pre-order it just yet, but you can register for updates. Expansys has the 8GB version for pre-order at £499.99 ($738).

Some specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S include: A-GPS, 4-inch 800 x 480 SUPER AMOLED touch screen display, HSDPA, Android 2.1, Wi-Fi b/g/n, 5-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, Memory card expansion, microSDHC card expansion, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
