Versace is responsible for all aspects of content, deign and style. While TAG handles the marketing, logistical, and technical aspects of this project. It may not be as large as the BMW designed 787, but it should have more than enough style.

The light (25 lbs) AquaSkipper (Buy Now $500) allows you to bounce across the water. It has a wing that when you bounce on it, you move across the water in a bouncing motion – you can hop and skip across the water “like some sort of giant waterbug.” This human powered water transportation vehicle will make (and already has made) the surfers jealous – you do not have to pedal back to get on the next wave.

Next month Sony will be releasing a firmware update for the PlayStation 3, included in that update will be DLNA video streaming support. Which pretty much means PS3 owners will be able to play video content from their Windows Media Center, or any other DLNA compatible device. Which is why I am adding this Buffalo TeraStation Living HOME to my wish list. It has 3TB (3,072GB) of data storage and DLNA compatibility. So basically you can store thousands of movies on this device and watch them from your PlayStation 3.

The Optimus Maximus keyboard (pre-order $1,565) is almost the most expensive keyboard. Every key on this keyboard has a small OLED screen (48px x 48px), which can be customized to indicate various shortcuts for different programs or games. This keyboard is very useful, but I doubt any one can justify paying that much for a keyboard.
