Puma By Mihara MY-41
Here comes another sneaker from the Puma by Mihara Spring 2009 Collection. The Japanese designer has always something special in mind and the MY-41 comes with a very interesting design on the heel and especially the sole, with layers seeming to go into each other. We like the colorway and especially the matching laces. Otherwise its really a matter of style, as we are sure it is not for everyone.

This is a concept of a mp3 player. It’s about that mp3 players shouldn’t have oversized memory, you don’t have a title skip function, you can only fast forward. So you’ll definitely have to pick your favorite songs. Let the following pictures explain the features like the manually charging function.

Partners Digital Blue, Alcatel and Lego leaked out a picture of their Lego phone, coming this summer. There are no words on price as yet, but it has something that makes it one of the most hotly awaited phone this summer. I’m talking about those snap-on pieces that lets you change the color of its various parts as easily as mixing together a couple of Lego bricks. And off course, the LEGO legacy is quite tempting in itself!

Two months after Mercedes-Benz revealed the new E-Class sedan at the Detroit auto show (sort of), it will reveal further details of the coupe version at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
But isn’t the CLK, introduced in 1997 as a 1998 model, the stand-in for the E-Class coupe? Used to be. Not anymore.
The 2010 E-Class coupe shares design cues with its sedan counterpart: same twin-headlamp face, same Camry-esque taillights, same sharp fender arch over the rear wheels, for which Mercedes cites the Ponton Mercedes, introduced in 1953, as inspiration.
From photos of the car in profile, the E-Class coupe appears quite a bit more curved than the CLK. Several online reports have thrown around the Audi A5 as a shorthand guide.
There will be two models: the E350 with a V-6 engine (268 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque) and the E550 with a V-8 (382 horsepower, 391 pound-feet). A 7-speed automatic transmission will be standard.
Other than powertrain options (and electronic safety devices, like Attention Assist, for sleepy drivers), the only other technical information Mercedes is willing to divulge is the coupe’s drag coefficient (0.24), which, according to Mercedes, makes the E-Class coupe “the world’s most aerodynamically efficient series production vehicle.”
The 2010 E-Class coupe will go on sale in the United States in June, with convertible variants coming along early next year.
