Sony’s Spring/Summer 2007 product slate was officially announced today, and includes the release of a number of new displays in their popular BRAVIA series. Of particular note are two new ultra-slim rear projector models featuring full 1080p resolution.

The new LCD rear projection micro-displays are the 46-inch KDF-46E3000 and 50-inch KDF-50E3000. They feature a svelte new profile, measuring in at just 12.6 inches deep for the 50-inch model, and 11.9 inches deep for the 46-inch model. Similarly sized LCD and plasma flat-panel displays are around 5 to 6 inches deep without a stand, and around 11 to 13 inches deep with a stand, so these sets take up just about the same amount of space as flat panels if you’re not planning on hanging your display on a wall.

The displays both feature full 1920 x 1080 resolution with full 1080p inputs via HDMI. They support both 1080/60p and 24p frame rates for optimal playback of both high definition broadcasts and film content. The sets also include Sony’s advanced iris control for optimal contrast performance. Both models are compatible with Sony’s new $300 BRAVIA Internet Video Link module, which provides access to IP-based programming via an Ethernet connection.

Both sets are expected to be released this July. Pricing should be available a little closer to the release date.

HENK is absolutely one of the most beautiful rich people’s items I have ever seen.

It’s incredbily customizable, richly detailed, superbly functional. Everything is perfection of this suitcase. I really find it to be a work of art more than a suitcase. And at about 20,000 dollars for this suitcase, you may not want to use it all the time. I command you to go to the HENK website to see all of the options this suitcase has. You will not believe it!

In addition to overall good looks, size and elegance are two of the primary features that buyers look for when shopping for a designer clutch.

They’re not generally expected to be either practical or comfortable to carry. Versace’s Runway Croc-Stamped Clutch manages to embody every one of these traits. It is on the large size (13.25″ x 6″ x 2″) for a clutch and is topped with a detachable shoulder chain. The clutch is made of soft white leather with a crocodile-stamped trim. It has a beautiful gold Medusa logo medallion, which matches the rest of the mirrored golden hardware, on top of the magnetic snap that holds the bag’s top flap closed. Inside, the bag has one leather trimmed pocket set inside a silk lining. Price: $2,415
