Last month when we saw a gold iPod Shuffle going for $19k we felt like things were a little out of hand, but now someone has even outdone that with this $20,000 Shuffle decorated with diamonds, gold and platinum.

If people are willing to buy these things we can hardly blame anyone for making them but the ones that are dropping $19,900 more than the rest of us on a Shuffle are who we’re wondering about.

It looks like Bang & Olufsen has another mobile phone coming down the high-fashion pipeline to follow up their popular and equally different-looking Serene mobile Phone, called the Serenata.

When the official launch comes we should have quite a bit better image of the new phone, also known as the Samsung SGH F310, but for now we have to go from this leaked photo and some specs found by UnwiredView.

The B&O Serenata is a GSM phone with UMTS, EDGE, HSDPA measuring 109.5 x 63 x 19.7 mm. It will have a 240×240 color touchscreen, house 4GB of memory and can playback at least MP3′s and MPEG4′s. We’re real interested to see a dock for this one too, but more to come as we get it in.

Logic3 is marked today as the first to launch a speaker dock made specifically for the iPhone, which not surprisingly has been named the i-Station Traveller for iPhone. The system consists of a couple 4-watt, 35mm neodymium driven speakers and a dock that can accommodate the iPhone either vertically or horizontally.

To help make the Traveller more travel friendly the speakers will actually slide together to enclose the docking area and make the whole works only 170mm wide. The device is also compatible with any iPod or any media player that has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. We’re thinking that the iPhone probably connects through the headphone jack as well.

The iPhone speaker dock is expected to be available soon from Logic3 retailing for around $60.
