HP and world-renowned designer Vivienne Tam has announced that they are working together to create a special edition notebook positioned to become the ultimate tech accessory for fashionistas around the globe.

Vivienne Tam and HP unveiled the design of the new must-have digital clutch on the catwalk today at Tam’s fashion show during New York’s Fashion Week at Bryant Park.

The HP Vivienne Tam Special Edition notebook represents the first time a computer company has partnered with a globally renowned designer to create a notebook PC that offers all the style and power needed for a delightful technology experience. Tam also worked with HP to design the notebook’s accessories and packaging.

The top of the notebook is gleaming red and bursting with peony flowers. The peony design is meticulously carried inside the notebook, under the keypad. The notebook also features a complementary embroidered storage sleeve that helps keep the exterior protected while being carried as a clutch.

Remember that thumb-shaped USB drive from Solid Alliance that was all over the blogs last year? A new model with twice the amount of storage capacity is now available.

Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest. There is nothing complicated about the oversized XL showerhead with the straightforward label of Z94, from Zucchetti. It is a massive, circular showerhead that appears to be suspended from three steel wires. The three wires have an organic appeal due to their asymmetrical, twisted forms. Actually, the showerhead hangs down from the ceiling supported by thin, almost invisible, wires that bear the weight. The overall effect is one of understated elegance that belies the sensational showering experience of the Z94, which is like standing under your own cloud as it drenches you with refreshing, clean water. Each ‘raindrop’ is individually emphasized by the lovely lighting feature within the showerhead. Bring the XL Z94 into your home for the best showering experience ever!

We have seen it in the shape of a rat and as a pig. Now the eco-friendly, batteryless, hand-squeeze LED flashlight is back with a brand new design; the vampire bat.

It is cute, brightly coloured, and suitable for children. It’s ideal as a night lamp and educational at the same time. Teach children not to use batteries but generate electricity by themselves. As well as normal flashlight operation, the Bat can stand in an upright position, in order to act as a nightlight.

The Bat Torch is available from the Ethical Superstore for £4.99 (about $9 USD).

The pixel drink coasters are nothing if not eye-catching, but they have another feature that makes them very, very cool. They can be cut to any shape that one pleases. In fact the coasters come in one massive sheet that has been folded into fifty segments which you can separate yourself. The pixels themselves are perforated in order to make it easy to shape your coasters into any piece of 8-bit artwork that you can imagine - and they supposedly resist condensation.

This USB desktop combo consists of a desk lamp with nine bright light-emitting diodes and a speaker that connects to MP3 and CD players, PDAs and other digital products using a standard 3.5mm stereo audio plug.

Are you looking for a fun and geeky way to protect you precious portable computer when you’re on the move? Check out the “My Documents” laptop sleeve, a bright yellow case designed like the virtual folders on your hard drive.

Just like the Teddy Bear USB Drive, it now looks as if the cool DIY Rubik’s Cube Subwoofer idea from last year also has been picked up by a company.

The 4.7kg heavy MicroSub 2010 BT from Elac has four amplifiers and it’s completely vibration free. According to Shiny Shiny, it uses Bluetooth to stream music from any enabled device. Alternatively, you can connect it directly using an RC jack.

There is no info on pricing or availability yet. But, as Pocket-lint points out; it will most likely be quite expensive, considering the standard black or white MicroSub model will set you back around $1,800 USD.
