Does a phone need to cost more than a car? Certainly the people at Amosu think so as they have just released an iPhone encrusted in gold, diamonds or sapphires. The cost? A sweet $41,225. Where will we see such devices in the future? I would guess MTV for sure and on red carpets around the world.
For my money, I would trade all the diamonds they could fit on this device for a keyboard and a faster wireless network. Maybe I’m just weird that way.

I would like to wish all my readers a Happy Halloween. Even if you don’t celebrate this empty-calorie-rich holiday I hope you have a nice day with your family and friends.

What do Superman, Switchvox, open source and Digium have to do with one another? Well somehow Tom Keating has worked these topics into yet another
blog entry. To be honest, I am concerned at this rate we will have to start paying royalties to the comic book companies. ;)
I don’t want to steal the thunder here so be sure to check out what Tom has
to say and also peruse Greg Galitzine’s
blog and
article that sparked this comic super-hero studded blogosphere conversation.

Yesterday I wrote a blog entry titled
Alcatel-Lucent May Cut More based on an article from the Financial Times. Today, unfortunately there is a story from the Wall Street Journal
saying the recently formed company will cut 4,000 extra jobs and target a further 400 million euros ($577 million) in cost savings as part of a new accelerated restructuring plan.
The company also announced that Chief Financial Officer Jean-Pascal Beaufret is leaving the company.
The disclosure came as the company reported a third-quarter net loss of 345 million euros, compared with a pro forma net profit of 532 million euros a year earlier.

Skype is from Mars and SIP is from Venus. Need I say more? Thankfully there is a new solution allowing the above protocols to communicate more effectively. If you want to learn more check out Tom Keating’s blog on
SIP/Skype gateways. Now if this gateway would only work for men and women, we would no longer need marriage counselors.
