subject: Cartier Watchmaker Now Has Luxury Cell Phone - Luxcellphone [print this page] Luxury watchmaker Cartier on Friday sued Apple for trademark infringement because of a pair of applications available on its App Store. By Saturday, however, Cartier decided to withdraw the suit, The Wall Street Journal reported.
At the heart of Cartier's infringement claim was a pair of apps called Fake Watch and Fake Watch Gold Edition. The apps are made by Digitopolis Game Studio, which interestingly enough, was not named in the lawsuit.
Filed in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the lawsuit claimed the applications give people the ability to tell time on the iPhone and iPod Touch with a display that simulates famous wristwatches.
Jonathan Lagarenne, Cartier's lawyer, said the lawsuit would be withdrawn because the company was satisfied that Apple had removed the apps from the store.
Motorola A1600 Cartier Edition
A gold edition of the Cartier Cell Phone phone has just unveiled on the Chinese website of the company. Motorolaa?s A1600 that has been souped up by Cartier with gold and fake crocodile skin. ? Unlike Vertu, this option wont burn a hole in your pocket, but does it worth it?
Other than the new shiny colors the Cartier PairsGold has no differences from the original model. It still flaunts the 2.4-inch 262K color QVGA touchscreen display and the signature MING semi-transparent plastic active cover.
The handset also runs on the same Linux based OS and has quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support (no 3G as you might have guessed, we are speaking China here).
The Motorola A1600 also packs a 3 megapixel shooter, a microSD card slot (up to 4GB), stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), a microUSB port, and a stereo FM radio. Its final noteworthy feature is the built-in GPS receiver which allows both real-time GPS navigation and geotagging of the photos taken with the built-in camera. The Motorola MING A1600 Luxury Edition will run you a solid $867 in Taiwan. ? What do you think of the luxury phones worth when you pay for it?
