ModBook Quick ClicksAndreas Haas, the CEO of Axiotron and inventor of the ModBook, showed Notebooks.com the latest version of the Modbook, which has a mirror finish and a new application called Axiotron Quick Clicks, which makes it easier to enter commonly used key combos.

Quick Clicks is a neat little application, with different layouts you can use depending on what type of application you’re working with. Axiotron will provide free upgrades to ModBook customers as Quick Clips is refined.

Now that the ModBook is shipping, Andreas says his team is already experimenting with other form factors. His customers are requesting more power, better graphics and more storage-everything the MacBook Air lacks. He isn’t ruling a ModBook Air out completely though and will listen carefully to customers’ demands. Axiotron engineers are also considering a 15-inch ModBook Pro.

iPhone Case Mate Gold DiamondHere’s some serious one-of-a-kind bling for your iPhone. These iPhone cases are made out of gold carbon fiber leather. The Case-Mate CEO was trying to explain the process of how the gold is woven into the carbon, which is some how bonded with the leather, but I was too mesmerized by the sparkling diamonds to pay too much attention.

The one on the left is studded with 3.5 carats of diamonds and is worth about $20,000. The one Case-Mate showed me is the only one in existence. Instead of selling it, the company is giving it away in a random drawing at MacWorld. Stop by their booth if you’re in town to enter.

ROCK E8Here’s a quick demo of Motorola’s ROKR E8, which was announced at CES 2008. The ROKR E8 uses ‘morphing’ technology to switch its user interface between phone, music and camera modes. The glass plate display features haptic touch, which means it vibrates to simulate the experience of touching a physical keypad.

The Motorola ROKR E8 will be available in North America within the next quarter.
