After the F-laptop, here comes the F-camera!!!

Starting to browse around for a simple point and shoot digicam with good macro abilities, and stumbled upon this :

Seems overpriced though ... still pretty funny.

 

that is pretty funny, the only one i have seen was one made by olimpus, but that one seemed over priced too. have you heard anything about the performance on those laptops?

 

Everyone says they are crappy.

 

The camera I think is Olympus.

The laptop was (is?) from Acer. When it came out, it had a normal price, with decent performance. Now, I guess it's starting to be outdated a bit. http://www.acer.com/APP/AKC/INTERNET/AACPubli.nsf/allDocs/RWPA7543A2C33E2699E88256DDC008047CE?OpenDocument

 

This one and the prior model were both by Olympus.
Look here to read about the prior model.

 

i saw a ferrari pen at the king of prussia mall the other day that would be so cool to use but i bet it cost a crap load of money b/c it was a fountain pen

 

Ferrari has been on a tear on licensing luxury consumer goods. Montegrappa pens ($1,500 to $4,500), Oregon Scientific items, Acer laptops, etc. Some work well and some not so well. Fila hasn't done that well with clothing items. Laptops always have short lifetimes. The 2004 Meet in Monterey is trying to secure some laptops for a raffle for entrants.

 

The licensing for Ferrari gets an F in my opinion. The products look better than they function and are over priced. I like my Colnago bike, but that is because Colnago makes good product.

The laptop was a piece of junk as well. Fila has made some crappy shoes too. I think the G-P watches may be the only other quality item with a Ferrari label on it. Oh and the Fchat polo shirt.

 

No mention of Barbie???

 

you mean the barbie ferrari of f-1 slut barbie, or the plethora of porn stars named tiffany ferrari?
