Samsung outs Garnet Red Edition Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 in the US, prices it at $220

Posted in: Today's Chili

Just as we saw with AT&T’s Garnet Red Galaxy S III, Samsung has now introduced yet another device that’s wrapped in a similar color scheme — and, hey, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, what better time, right? The difference here, however, is the South Korean company’s including a matching case as part of this special edition Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, with the newfangled bundle set to be available for $220 when it goes on sale this week. Additionally, Samsung’s 7-inch Garnet Red Tab 2 will be shipping with Jelly Bean already onboard, while other internal specs won’t be any different than the ones we became familiar with last year — ones such as the 1,024 x 600 TFT display, 1GHz, dual-core TI OMAP CPU, 8GB of internal storage and, of course, that handy IR blaster. You’ll have to snag one quick if you’re interested, though, as Samsung has told us the blooming Tab 2 7.0 will — much like other peculiar sets — only be available for a limited time at shops like Amazon, Walmart, Office Depot, Tiger Direct, Fry’s Electronics and Toys R Us.

HTC One S ‘special edition’ comes draped in white, boasts 64GB of storage

Posted in: Today's Chili

HTC previously showed off a special edition One X geared toward fashionistas in New York City, and now it’s time for a slightly lesser-specced member of the numero uno family to get a somewhat similar treatment — we’re talking about the One S. And while the most noticeable characteristic of this “special edition” slab is obviously its new white livery, HTC has also made internal improvements by loading the 4.3-inch device with 64GB of internal storage — which should pair nicely alongside that 1.5GHz, dual-core S4 CPU and 1GB RAM. The only bad news is this unicorn type is expected to only be available in Taiwan, and mum’s the word on when, or if, it’ll ever make a trip outside the company’s home turf.

Apple’s Jony Ive tapped to design one-off Leica M for charity auction

Posted in: Today's Chili

In case the newly announced Leica M simply isn’t astronomically expensive enough — or charity-minded enough, as it were — Apple’s senior VP of design Jony Ive is working with the German photography company on a one-off version set to be auctioned for charity. Given the M’s baseline price of €6,200 (about $8,100), we’re guessing the one-of-a-kind version designed by one of the world’s most influential designers is going to fetch a pretty penny at auction. Like, “sell off one of your extra homes” kind of money. Leica head Dr. Andreas Kaufmann announced the collaboration last night during a Leica event at Photokina — an event that Ive himself was reportedly set to appear at — where he said that the auction will be done with U2 frontman (and longtime friend of Ive) Bono Vox. The latest Leica M debuts in early 2013, though we won’t see the fruits of Ive and Leica’s collaboration for some time as the camera’s design has yet to begin.

Leica X2 gets à la carte, Paul Smith editions to help you stand out from plebeian photographers (update: hands-on)

Leica X2 gets la carte, Paul Smith editions to help you stand out from plebeian photographers update handson

Let’s say you’ve been considering a Leica X2 for the mix of a big APS-C sensor and retro styling, but a $1,995, fixed-range compact camera just isn’t exclusive enough. Leica has you covered with two extra-rare editions that rise above the pack. Provided you don’t mind someone else designing for you, the Edition Paul Smith spices things up with a mix of black, green and orange that reflects the UK fashion designer’s love of stripes and wilder colors. Is the small 1,500-unit batch of Paul Smith cameras still too common? There’s now an à la carte X2 option to limit the production run to exactly one. After picking from black, silver or new titanium colors for the main body, you can choose from a set of leather trim colors and get custom engraving to hedge against the unlikely event that anyone confuses your X2 with someone else’s. Prices aren’t immediately available for the October launches of both cameras. Not that it matters much — if you’re willing to even consider a special edition Leica, you already know that it’s within your price range.

HTC One X Cushnie et Ochs available on eBay, mobile-minded fashionistas ready their wallets (update: auction closed)

Posted in: Today's Chili

Remember that special edition One X for AT&T with the Cushnie et Ochs-approved exterior, and how HTC said it would never go on sale? Well, while HTC is sticking to its word, one of the 150 souls who grabbed one at MADE Fashion Week has decided to give the rest of us a crack at buying it via eBay auction. For folks interested in owning the half ebony, half ivory handset, the bidding currently starts at $360 — though you can expect the phone to fetch a far greater price when the auction ends six days from now on September 17th.

Update: Looks like you’ve missed your chance, as the eBay auction has now been ended. We’re not sure whether the seller got an offer they couldn’t refuse, or a strongly worded letter from HTC. Either way, show’s over.

[Thanks Dominic]

HTC shows off Cushnie et Ochs edition One X ahead of New York Fashion Week (update: not for sale!)

Posted in: Today's Chili

In the last HTC Frequencies media summit, the company didn’t shy away from the possibility of exploring different color options for its flagship devices, but never did we expect it to come out with such a simple yet eye-catching combination of black and white on the same body. Courtesy of Frequencies II today, what we’re looking at here is an HTC One X (on AT&T) with a bit of love from fashion label Cushnie et Ochs: the design simply consists of a two-part chassis instead of a unibody shell, so we could just about feel the seam along the center of the backside. Other than that, this is a surprisingly attractive device, especially with the preloaded wallpaper that matches the shell colors — we like the effect of it moving along horizontally as we swipe between home screens. There’s no word yet on availability, but keen fashionists should see this pop up at Milk Studios during the New York Fashion Week in a few days.

Update: Bad news, folks: we’ve just had confirmation from HTC that this funky phone will not be available for purchase. Only certain celebrities will receive one as a gift.
