yellow-blackberry-bold Selfridges’ Limited Edition Blackberry Bold Is Getting sold Out Completely!

The limited edition Blackberry Bold from Selfridges is almost sold out. It entered the sales market at the outset of this week. According to reports gathered from Selfridges, it has been confirmed that six of the 10 limited edition yellow Blackberry Bold handsets have already been sold. The sales seem to be moving rather fast.

This is perhaps a bad news for those who have been eying on it to own one (not bad for the store though). Worse still is that out of the remaining four, two have already been earmarked and practically all of them would be sold by the weekend. The handset comes with yellow number buttons and a certificate of authenticity in a black and yellow box.

Elite Find of the Day: Mr. Asahi, The Robotic Barman
Posted in Designer, Elite Find of the Day, Robot on 3 July 2008

Mr. Asahi
Selfridges in association with Asahi beer has unveiled the world’s first personalized robotic barman that has a potential to serve you with a drink within two-minutes of taking the order, hence saving your 13- minutes. Called ‘Mr Asahi,’ it is developed using Robotics and Animatronics, and essentially is expert in serving ice-cold beer as half pints within de-cap bottles of beer. Mr Asahi’s simulation technology is accessible upon a condensed air feature that is monitored and synchronized through its numerous valves and electrical switching mechanisms connected to a PC.

They say 200 man hours were invested by a pool of eight-engineer to create such a product with robotic bar keeping skills. Weighing a quarter of a ton, it always offers a smiling face and responds patiently to the customers’ needs.

After making its manifestation in this week, the Mickey Metal functional caricature is reserved to move on for a national sampling tour with a schedule appended here.
